This months meeting of the Arkham Film Society is our tribute to VHS. We will be screening the 1987 shot-on-video not-so-classic VIDEO VIOLENCE, not only that but we will be screening the movie from an original ex-rental VHS tape. All of this and there will be tables of VHS tapes for sale from area collectors for you to start or complete your collection.

VIDEO VIOLENCE is about a couple who move to a small town and open a video store only to be confused by the towns people exclusive interest in horror with some porn mixed in. One day an unmarked tape of what appears to be an actual murder is accidentally returned to the store and the little towns secret begins to be exposed.
