The VHS Doom Podcast: Horror, Cult, Camp, and more!

Hey Doom Crew! We are so glad you are joining us again this week for another deep dive into the shelves of madness! This week we have a special episode for you. We were joined in the VHS Doom Community Room by an up an coming actress from the UK named Jasmine Kheen who is currently working on a feature film titled, "The RIP Man." We had a ton of fun getting to know Jasmine and hearing all about RIP Man, which is scheduled to be released in summer of 2025. If there is one takeaway from this episode....PROTECT YOUR TEETH!! You definitely don't want to miss this one. Jasmine was a pleasure to speak with and will certainly go far in the world of cinema.

Well hello Doomers! Welcome back to your home away from home, and the best rental store in the Void: VHS DOOM! We are so glad you are joining us again for another deep dive into the shelves of madness. This week we have another great title for you with Wishmaster (1997) directed by Robert Kurtzman. This film stars quite a few HUGE names in the horror film business such as Robert Englund, Kane Hodder, Ted Rami, the late Tony Todd, and narrated by Angus Scrimm. With that cast and effects work by the legendary KNB EFX group, this is definitely a horror classic in its own right. Unfortunately we have quite a problem with Mikey's possession in this episode.. Hopefully you all make it out of the store in one piece. See you on the other side, mutants!

Hey all, and welcome back to the VHS Doom Podcast and Rental Store! We are so glad you're joining us for another dive into the shelves of madness. We have a fun one for you this week! We are going to cover one of the best sci-fi horror films of all time: Alien (1979) directed by Ridley Scott and written by Dan O'Bannon. Alien is obviously one of the most influential films of all time, and has even been preserved by the Library of Congress for being culturally significant. It spawned a massive media empire and launched the careers of quite a few Hollywood mainstays. Besides all of this cool shit, we have a few surprises in store for you this week...

Well hello hello and welcome back to the VHS Doom Podcast and Rental Store! We are so glad that you are joining us again for another deep dive into the shelves of madness. Before we get started, I just want to say a BIG thank you to everyone for your patience on the release of this episode! Baby boy DOOM was born on 6/1 at 7lb 2oz and 20" long. He and mom are healthy and happy, and we are so glad to have him at home. Unfortunately he decided to make his entrance into the void when I had 20 minutes of editing left, hence the wait. Mikey and I are planning on recording again next week, so we should be back to a normal schedule sooner than later. This week we have a real treat for you! We have our second ever double feature with two body horror classics: Body Melt and Slime City! We talk all about these films as well as a bit of the history of body horror in multiple media forms.

From The Mutilator, Evil Dead 2, From Beyond, Phantasm 2, and NOES to Star Trek Voyager, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and The X Files, Mark has created SO many amazing effects.

We are reviewing a 90's horror gem with one of the most uniquely designed antagonists from horror of that time period: BRAINSCAN!
