Would you rather die from the claws of a demon, taken down by a ninja or torn apart by pancakes from outer space? VHS Hell is back to Mystic Festival to spice up your afternoon and poison your life.
For a while now VHS Hell have been organizing screenings of amazing budget movies from genres back in a day you would normally find at the lowest shelves of video cassette rentals. These were movies so awfully bad that they became delightfully good.
