Artist Whips Up More Custom Horror VHS Tapes!
Back in March we turned your attention over to the Etsy shop Readful Things, which was offering up a collection of one-of-a-kind VHS and Betamax sculptures that turned classic horror tapes into insanely cool works of art. At the time, the shop was selling The Thing, Critters, Creepshow and The Blob tapes, and they’ve put out more since then.
The handmade, mixed media sculptures use polymer clay and other materials to breathe new life into old tapes, each one themed after the movie contained on the tape.
Since the last time we reported on these, Jaws, The Stuff, Beetlejuice, Little Shop of Horrors, The Dentist and Jurassic Park tapes have been turned into sculptures by the shop, along with a few different takes on The Thing. In addition to the tapes, the artist is also selling all kinds of really cool, highly unique custom horror action figures.
Head over to Readful Things on Etsy to see more!

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
