Tune In Tuesday: Surf Reality Movie of the Month Club Collection (Thrill Kill Video Club)

The New York underground performance art scene in the late 80's was teeming with unique talents. Enter Robert Prichard and Jennifer Babtist (both of CLASS OF NUKE ‘EM HIGH), who decided that the madness happening nightly needed to be preserved on videotape, under the moniker of Surf Reality. At the same time, genre favorite Matt Mitler (THE MUTILATOR, DEADTIME STORIES) was challenged to improvise a feature film in a single day. Prichard and Mitler, who were friends since high school, joined forces to shoot a series of one-day features on video, and so the Movie of the Month Club was born!

Thrill Kill Video Club: Four bored serial killers turn to shooting snuff movies and the Thrill Kill Video Club is born. Enter their looney upside down world of comedy, carnage, laughter and mayhem.

80s NYC shot on video homemade art. A under represented relic of another time, important to catalogue,preserve,  research,  understand and enjoy. Art for arts sake. Art for fucks sake. ACTORS Robert Prichard and Jennifer Babtist from Troma Movies and Matt Mitler from Slashers and Scifi Making there own microbudget movies, when it had been easier than ever before but not as easy as it would become. Free of pretension, but with big ideas. Around 45minutes. I have only watched  Thrill Kill Video Club So Far. I was obsessed with finding these movies for years after reading a interview with Robert Prichard, from toxic avenger and Class of nuke em high. They were impossible to locate until now. The story is more interesting then the movies unless your brain is illuminated by moon Magic. 1980s homemade movies your long lost punk bohemian uncle made and got left in a basement for over 30 years. It doesn't matter if transcendence is achieved through accident, lack of ability or conscious decision. The result is what matters. Keep your third eye open, and let the movies world take you in. It's gruff NYC on the surface,  but just below is a "high school theater kids" sense of play. A great case for the continued existence of physical media.
