Get ready for an unforgettable night of cult horror cinema! Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of From Dusk Till Dawn on the big screen, joined in person by legendary special makeup effects artist and original story creator Robert Kurtzman!

Killer Video is back with Dead Media Market 8!
We’re kicking off the new year by dialing up the voltage on the physical media underground. From diehard grail hunters and vinyl junkies to the next wave of analog converts, our expanding circle gathers under one roof to track down rare finds, connect with the like minded, and keep the formats spinning. This isn’t just another swap meet—it’s the front line of physical media preservation, built by collectors, for collectors.
The Goods: Fresh Vaults, Holy Grails
Our veteran vendor crew is bringing tables packed to the brim with winter restocks and hard-to-find relics across the entire spectrum: VHS, Laserdisc, DVD, Vinyl, Cassettes, CDs, Video Games, VCRs, CRT TVs, and vintage pop-culture collectibles. From bargain-bin treasures to top-shelf collector pieces, the crates are primed for the hunt.
The Fringe: Curated Artists & Makers
Step beyond the crates and into the unexpected. We’re carving out space for independent artisans and underground visionaries bringing their own original work to the market floor.
The Rhythm: Dark Discotheque Energy
Keep your crate-digging momentum moving with DJ Circuitry (@deadchannels.tv) returning to the decks! Expect a seamless sonic backdrop of Post-Punk, New Wave, Synth, and Industrial cuts spinning all afternoon to power your search through the stacks.
The Fuel: Craft Pours & Elevated Eats
Digging takes stamina—and taking over Missing Falls Brewery means you never have to leave the zone. Fuel up with house-brewed craft pints on tap and a full kitchen serving elevated pub favorites right inside the market space. Grab a table, refuel, and show off your hauls.
The Details
Date: Sunday, January 31st
Time: 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Location: Missing Falls Brewery | 540 S. Main St., Akron, Ohio 44311
Admission: $5 donation at the door.

Our new micro-cinema will feature multiformat playback and I’m so stoked to plan special screenings including Beta, Laserdisc and CED. So when I stopped by my buddy’s shop while we were in his hood picking up some new museum cases and saw these two absolute bangers on Beta I almost exploded. Rob at @mediahead_cle has been a huge supporter of Killer Video and y’all should make sure to follow him and check out his store. He also hooked us up with an awesome donation of promo and screener tapes I’ll be sharing as well.

6 HOURS LEFT ON THE CLOCK.
$36,066 pledged. 220 backers. Totally Killer Video is officially funded and happening! We are taking over the entire first floor of the amazing and historic Selle Generator Works building.
At midnight tonight, our Kickstarter campaign officially closes. Once that clock hits zero, the chance to be an original Founding Backer on Kickstarter is closed for good.
Every dollar pledged over these final 6 hours pushes us closer to our $40,000 stretch goal for “Movies on the Lawn”—funding our commercial, sealed-air mobile cinema rig for free community pop-ups across Akron next summer.
Last call to jump on board before 11:59 PM:
Grab an annual Founding Membership (your rental card will be waiting on the counter on opening day).
Claim a limited Chris Garofalo Screenprint Pack ($50) before they are vaulted.
Bump your existing pledge with an add-on.

Let’s close this out strong!

Insane museum pickups from the latest NeoTacc meetup that Killer Video sponsored. I’ve been hunting down a dang Leprechaun Promo Prize from the 1993 Vidmark contest foreverrrrrr and always miss out on them. So to see one locally just sitting there was basically like finding a pot of gold. Supposedly there was only about 200 of them made, so I’m very happy to preserve it in the museum. Got the Resident Evil trio from Amber and James for our upcoming “Dead Pixels” exhibit, the Darkman book for our horror novelization display and some great pins and that awesome 1975 Jaws cup for the promotional case. @triplestitchterry hooked us up with a sick sealed Freddy spitballs pack. Also found a VHS we didn’t have and a new sealed blank. Cherry on top was the original carded Toxie we found in a $10 bin, that was nuts.

WE DID IT! 100% FUNDED! 🎬🥹
When we launched this campaign, we were running on late nights, nervous energy, and a stubborn belief that physical media still matters. Putting an all-or-nothing goal out into the world means making yourself completely vulnerable, and having 206 of you show up with $35,065 to say “we believe in this, too” is something we will never take for granted.
Because of you, Totally Killer Video is officially happening! From the shelves we build to every movie we catalog, this space belongs to all of us.
Now that our permanent indoor home is secured, we have a few days left to take the cinema outside our four walls.
🚨STRETCH GOAL #1 IS LIVE: $40,000 for “Movies on the Lawn” 🌳🎬
We are raising an additional $5,000 to fund a commercial-grade, sealed-air outdoor cinema setup (20-foot airtight screen, 6,000-lumen laser projector, and silent battery power) for two big community reasons:
Free, Accessible Community Pop-Ups: Hosting free outdoor movie nights right on our lawn at Selle Generator Works, in neighborhood parks, and across local green spaces with zero admission fees and zero barriers.
Nonprofit Sustainability: When not hosting free community screenings, the rig will be available for private, neighborhood, and corporate rentals to generate recurring revenue that directly supports our tape archive.
Every single dollar pledged from this moment forward goes directly toward securing this outdoor rig with zero risk!

THANK YOU, EVERYONE! LET’S TAKE IT OUTSIDE!
❤️

Still not over this. 🔪 Dewey Riley officially has Killer taste.
We had the absolute honor of meeting the legendary @davidarquette at the Scream 30th Anniversary screening at @e.j.thomashall Awesome night all around, but this was the freaking highlight. Heck yeah! 🖤📼

What an amazing night! Anytime you fill a space with people who share a love for the same thing it creates a totally electric atmosphere. It was a great crowd for a flashback screening but the highlight of the night was the live conversation with David after the movie. Loved hearing his stories. He’s a real one, so down to earth and kind. Awesome night all around. @davidarquette @screammovies @e.j.thomashall

In the digital media era, Killer Video aims to preserve the movie rental experience that died as streaming grew in popularity. For about three decades, from the 1980s through the 2000s, perusing the local video rental shop was practically a rite of passage, Killer Video founder Jonathon Carmichael says.
📀 “It was a true cultural phenomenon worldwide,” he says. “There are not a lot of things that last that long, that so many people have this shared happiness and shared good memories and nostalgia for.”
