Horror: VHS

vusleeper October 19, 2025

The latest found footage horror series V/H/S is back with V/H/S Halloween. This is the eighth installment, and as someone who has seen all the VHS series, I can’t honestly tell you which ones are good. They’re pretty much all the same: random little stories with VHS special effects. Sometime it’s unwatchable, sometime it’s scary, sometime it’s goofy… you know what you’re getting when you watch a VHS film.

Except for the lingering Canadian smoke it was a perfect night to be outside to catch The Star Tribune’s Music & Movies at Lake Harriet’s Bandshell. It was definitely a family affair with the movie being Denzel Washington’s Remember the Titans and local favorite Yam Haus playing a 75-minute set before the hazy sun set.

Cinema of the Macabre: Rabid Grannies at Emagine Willow Creek, Plymouth (July 14, 2025)

vusleeper July 15, 2025

As a big movie fan and collector, particularly of the horror genre, so I am delighted to see such a good, or rather rabid, fanbase for the Cinema of the Macabre. This is a horror movie series, curated by Tim Alan Holly (who will also introduce the movie with some notes about the film), that takes place every Monday at Emagine Willow Creek, in Plymouth, and as a tourist, I attended the July 14th showing of Rabid Grannies.

Weekend Gamer: Fallout Pip-Boy

vusleeper June 25, 2025

As a diehard Fallout fan, I have been collecting official Fallout merchandises for years and years. When the Amazon television series was announced in 2024, it was the best thing that could have happened for Fallout collectors. It meant that, for the first time in a long time, we got a ton of official Fallout merchandises, thanks to Amazon’s strong licensing department.
