‘Twas the week before Christmas
And all through

‘Twas the week before Christmas
And all through the shop
All the creatures were howling
And shrieking nonstop
When what to my wondering eyes did appear
But a killer with an axe, inspiring fear

Open til 6 today for all of your bloodiest holiday wishes!

My CFO, my accounting team, and my board of direct

My CFO, my accounting team, and my board of directors told me I have to quit spending so much money bringing in new stock almost every day.

Good thing none of those people exist! It’s just me, a 13 year old in 1993 who got older but never grew up! So here ya go, more rad releases from Waxwork records. Watch scary movies, read weird books and listen to punk rock! Open 12-5 today, come be an irresponsible degenerate like me and buy some weird, often offensive, but always rad stuff!

Art says you should stop by the store today! Well, he doesn’t actually say that cause, ya know, he doesn’t really speak. But he can be very convincing in his own way…

I’ll be open a couple of extra hours today for Lights on Creston! 12-8 today AND 13% off the WHOLE store!

Doing a little repair work on a Sony SLV 700HF this morning. This was a pretty nice deck back in the day and I’d like to save it from being parted out if I can. Gotta make those VCRs Alive Again (see what I’d did there… ha!) if we want to keep watching our horror tapes! Open until 5pm today, come chat analog tech with me!

$60 bucks for a letterboxed VHS from Walmart? Nah

$60 bucks for a letterboxed VHS from Walmart? Nah…I’m good. $20 bucks for an OG CBS FOX release of Aliens AND a Japanese Alien 11x17 print? Now we’re talking! Fuck that corporate greed. Keep it small, keep it local, keep it creepy!

I know DVDs aren’t the sexiest format to collect

I know DVDs aren’t the sexiest format to collect but they are the most affordable way to start building up a physical media collection. I love my VHS and I’ve started to build my Blu Ray collection but I’ll never pass up a DVD of a movie I don’t have but want to own. Open until 6pm today, stop by and pick up some gore! Keep it creepy friends!

Winter weather got you down? Grab a friend to kee

Winter weather got you down? Grab a friend to keep you company. Take your favorite Return of the Living Dead zombie mask home with you and you’ll have an undead best friend to hang with all winter long! Im open and hanging out at the shop until 6pm today!

Just some of the good finds I had while exploring

Just some of the good finds I had while exploring my storage units the past couple days. These will be checked, priced and out on the shelves today. Here until 6 as long as the weather doesn’t turn to complete shit. Come stop by and pick up a flick for your cold and snowy evening!

I got some cheap tapes for you ya filthy animals!

I got some cheap tapes for you ya filthy animals!
That’s about 1,000 tapes in the back of my lil ole 2009 hatchback (with thousands more still in storage) And they’re all going into the store for a buck a piece!

I’ve spent the past couple of days carving out a small space to offer some of the thousands of tapes I’ve accumulated at just $1 a piece. No, they’re not horror (I pay the rent and all the store bills with the horror tapes ya know) but there are some gems in here. Lots of action, comedy, animation, documentaries, all sorts of fun flicks to explore this winter for just $1!

AND in digging through my storage units, I unearthed more boxes of some rad horror tapes so the store is stuffed just like your drunk uncle was at Thanksgiving. Come check it out!

Black Friday is coming up and all the big box corp

Black Friday is coming up and all the big box corporate stores want you to be up before dawn to spend your money on their 99% off sales so that they can give their executives some nice big bonuses. I’m going to keep my normal hours of 12-6 on Friday so you (and myself) can sleep in, have an extra cup of coffee or two, smoke a bowl, watch a movie, whatever! And I’ll give you 13% off the entire store so you can save a few bucks on that grail tape you’ve been eyeing, or get your horror loving someone the raddest gifts. I’m new, and I’m small, and I’m still struggling to get the word out about this niche little store. So even if you can’t make it in, please spread the word about the store! Shop small, support your local indie businesses and keep it creepy!
