The “Home Video Horrors” 2018 Calendar Celebrates Horror VHS Box Art
Inject vintage VHS art directly into your eyeballs, all year long!
One fan who has been doing a kickass job keeping the spirit of VHS alive is Josh Schafer, the man behind Lunchmeat Magazine. In his never-ending quest to make sure those video shops of our youth never truly go away, Schafer created the “Home Video Horrors” calendar last year, a year-long tribute to the VHS box covers we’re all so nostalgic for.
This year, Home Video Horrors is back for Volume 2!
“LUNCHMEAT and photographer extraordinaire Jacky Lawrence proudly present HOME VIDEO HORRORS VOL. 2: an all-new 12-month, full-color calendar for 2018 collecting an eye-popping selection of the most spectacular slabs of cult VHS horror ever to stalk the video store!
Featuring the phenomenal photography of visual artist Jacky Lawrence, each month vibrantly celebrates a different VHS video cover, thoughtfully set in a scene reflective of the film’s content!
The date grid for each month is also pumped up with a bunch of too groovy celebration indications for an array of special days ranging from National VCR Day to Tortilla Chip Day to Elvira’s Birthday! What’s more, there’s a sweet chunk of home video and horror-driven trivia attached to each month! DIG ON IT!
The HOME VIDEO HORRORS VOL. 2 calendar measures approx. 8.5 X 11 inches closed and 17 x 11 inches opened and is printed on high quality, full-color semi-gloss paper.”
Only 100 calendars are being printed, so be sure to grab yours as soon as possible through the Lunchmeat Magazine website. They cost just $17 each and are selling fast!
Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia’s The Platform was a massive hit for Netflix back in 2020, becoming one of the most watched original movies in the streaming service’s history.
Coming soon? The Platform 2! Netflix has shared two first look images from the upcoming sequel this morning, which will again be directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia.
Milena Smit and Hovik Keuchkerian star in The Platform 2.
Netflix previews, “A mysterious figure has managed to establish a new law in The Platform, but can justice truly be enforced in hell? And who will enforce it?”
No word yet on a Netflix premiere date for The Platform 2. Stay tuned.
The first film is set inside a vertical prison system, where inmates are assigned to a level and forced to ration food from a platform that moves between the floors. Inmates on high floors eat better than those below, and one man tries to effect change so everyone gets enough.
Rafael reviewed The Platform for us at TIFF, raving in his 4.5-star write-up: “The Platform takes full advantage of its isolated setting and small cast to instead focus on a high concept, a tight script, and sharp dialogue that will make you laugh as often as it will make you think. This is a funny, heartfelt, at times disgusting, yet also thought-provoking sci-fi thriller that reminds of Bong Joon-ho’s Snowpiercer, but with way better food.”
The Platform also made Daniel Kurland’s Best International Horror Films of 2020 list.
