VHS is alive all over! Come out and support Severed’s first VHS Convention, an all day event as part of Severed’s 3rd Annual Short Film Night! Tons of like minded film fiends will be in attendance soaking up the analog insanity. As well as a bunch of cool vendors like Wild Eye Releasing, Lunchmeat Magazine and course if there is VHS there, Matt D and the Horror Boobs crew will be too.
May 19 (Sat.) 3:00 Severed Short Film Night The 1st ever VHS Convention. Come buy, sell, trade, and collect obscure horror and cult VHS. Uncover forgotten films not yet on DVD, revel in trashy, low budget directly to video masterpieces and meet other collectors and film junkies! Plus, the 3rd Annual Severed Sinema Short Film Night competition. Submission chosen will receive official selection status and have the chance to win the coveted audience choice award. Tickets $7
Matt D has been a manager, buyer and event coordinator at Forbidden Planet since 2005 or maybe it was 2006. Who can remember? We didn't even have computers back then. A native New Yorker from the borough of Queens, raised on Sunday Funnies, Monster Movies and Rock N' Roll. What better place to end up than Forbidden Planet where he can use his position to influence the city's pop culture. A responsibility he takes seriously more now than ever due to New York's consistent change for the worse. The last thing NYC needs is another cafe or bank so thank whatever it is you believe in that Forbidden Planet is here to stay. Beyond the walls of FP, Matt is a publicly recognized expert in cult and horror cinema with a focus on VHS. He is the founder of Horror Boobs a collective that books screenings and distributes weirdo films, the producer of the documentary Adjust Your Tracking: The Untold Story of the VHS collector, the publisher of the Blood Video zine, and is regrettably responsible for resurrecting the career of schizophrenic Shot-on Video director Carl J Sukenick.
