About this show
We'll be hosting all three nights of the 8th annual VHS Fest at the Mahoning Drive-In, with newly found VHS clips and commentary before and in between the movies. This event will sell out quickly so book early!
It’s time to dust off the shelves and get ready for another stack of sizzling slabs on the big, BIG screen when The Mahoning Drive-In Theater, Lunchmeat, and Saturn’s Core present the the most radical rewind event of the year, Drive-In VHS Fest 8! THREE nights of straight-to-video euphoria from the lazy, hazy crazy glory days of the video store, projected onto the massive Mahoning screen from original VHS tapes! From Friday, July 12th to Sunday July 14th, all the good tapes are out…at The Mahoning!
Hosted by Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher of The Found Footage Festival, this celebration of all things analog brings vendors and tapeheads from across the United VHStates and beyond together to pay homage to the cult of clamshell, slinging tapes and watching deep cuts and classics from the deep, dark, dusty shelves at the back of the coolest video store you wish you had in your town!
Curated by the VHSpecialists at Lunchmeat and Saturn’s core, the 8th time’s the charm, with a wild line-up of terrifying tapes and guests that leap off the screens of your youth and onto the Mahoning lot to meet, greet and sell photos and autographs!
Special guests include:
Brinke Stevens (SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE, HAUNTING FEAR, NIGHTMARE SISTERS)!
Michael Villella (star of SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE)!
J.R. Bookwalter (Director of ROBOT NINJA)!
