Nothing says “the future of classic film” like a Wall Street power suit with a neon aerobics icon. 📈🩷
Suspenders vs. sweatbands.Black-and-white prestige vs. Day-Glo excess. One foot in the boardroom, the other in a Jazzercise VHS.
The 90s: why not both?

Geena Davis has an Oscar and some classy movies in her filmography (and a failed but funny sitcom) but she is also a peak tier genre queen. So today we celebrate Geena, the star of The Fly, Beetlejuice, and Transylvania 6-500, on her birthday!

We keep finding proof that the ’80s were wildly imaginative ✨
PURR-TENDERS were all cats, each pretending to be a different animal, and that idea somehow made it all the way to books like this.
The kind of thing that only exists because someone really believed in it 🐱🐶🐰📚

RIP Mark Jones.
He gave us folklore horror with teeth. Leprechaun was mean, funny, and unforgettable, and Rumpelstiltskin was a grimy VHS-era deep cut that still haunts rental wall memories. Handmade monsters. Big personality. Pure video store energy. 🍀📼

Sometimes the tape finds you. 📼
On the eve of tonight’s Frankenhooker screening, someone walked into the shop with a shrink wrapped VHS copy they decided to part with because they worked on the film. Right place, right time, pure video store magic.
See you tonight 🎥. Be kind, rewind your childhood.

Please note that our screening of Frankenhooker at The Community Theater is on Saturday and is not to be confused with the Pre-K Matinee on Sunday. Any one of pre-k age who tries to get into Frankenhooker will be turned away. We are sorry for the inconvenience. 😉

👻 You didn’t just rent Ghostbusters. You lived in it.
By early 1986, it was sitting at #2 on the VHS charts, holding strong for 10 straight weeks.
Slime everywhere. One of those movies that escaped the screen and took over the decade 📼✨

Happy birthday to the master of horror, John Carpenter. Few directors epitomize the video store era better than the man that brought us Halloween, Assault of Precinct 13, Prince of Darkness and The Thing.

🗽 Desperately Seeking Susan is pure 80s electricity.
Downtown New York attitude, thrift-store cool, and a movie that helped turn style into story.
And then there’s Madonna. Iconic. Untouchable. A pop moment becoming a cultural one 💋

📼 Freddie Prinze Jr. really was the rom-com king for a minute.

It's the 147th birthday of Ernest Thesiger, scene stealer in The Old Dark House and The Bride of Frankenstein. An out gay man in the 1920s, Ernie was also an expert needlepointed & painter (We own one of his paintings). We are such a fan, we even named our dog after him. Do you see the resemblance?
