Only a few SOV titles are actual masterpieces, and Charles Pinion’s Red Spirit Lake is one of them. RSL started as a response to Pinion’s film project, Killbillies, one of the great unrealized underground films, falling through.

Here’s a copy of the Killbillies script that belonged to Gibby Haynes.

Digging through stuff and yet again questioning my decision to start picking up posters. I love them all, but it’s hard to justify when the frames are just 1 inch larger than standard, but three times the price.

The final issue in the original run of Bill Landis’ Sleazoid Express. The infamous Ecco: The Story of a Fake Man on 42nd Street. All of the initial SE issues are in their own class, but this is the zine as a definitive statement. It’s also one of the great works of literature of the last 40 years.

By far the sketchiest item I own: the 8th Vidimax catalog. This members-only mail order outlet gained notoriety for proprietor Louis Ferriol’s bizarre fetish productions like New York Centerfold Massacre and Haven of Horror (aka Roasted Alive). A glimpse into the netherworld of the video underground
