Submitted for the approval of the Video Hunter Society, we’ll be plugging our old VCR into the projector at the historic Pickford Film Center for our inaugural event!
Join us January 3rd at 9pm, right after Art Walk.
Bring a VHS tape you’d like to see screened (anything you want, VHS ONLY, NO DVDs/Blu-rays), we’ll draw from a lottery and play the selected tape. It’s that simple!
Unless of course your tape gets booed off the screen or has a technical meltdown (as old technology likes to do). If that happens your hosts will supply a killer rare mystery movie as a backup!
No matter what happens, we’re gonna have a blast! Picture the scene in Gremlins where they take over the theater (attached below). That’s the vibe we’ll be conjuring, you won’t want to miss it!
Show starts at 9, but feel free to come early to check out our varied collection of VHS tapes and to participate in our community tape swap!

An optional Tape Swap will be held in the lobby at 8pm. (Further details below).
Q: What movie will we watch?
A: The VHS will be a mystery tape based off what YOU, the audience, bring!
Bring any type of VHS tape you’d like (No Bluray/DVD) and a special lottery will determine which one we watch!
Q: If my tape is chosen will I get it back?
A: Yes! Although V.H.S. nor the PFC is responsible if something happens to your tape (it’s old technology, things happen).
Q: Do I have to bring a VHS to participate?
A: Nope! Just bring yourself and enjoy the show!
Q: What if the movie that’s selected sucks?
A: Then let it be known! Part of the fun is heckling bad films.
If the movie is a real stinker let it be know by shouting “EJECT!”
If we feel the video is no longer fun, the tape will be “destroyed” and we will watch a new movie personally picked by the Video Wizard from his private collection!
Q: I heard there is a tape swap?
A: There is a VHS Tape swap before the event in the lobby at 8pm. This is an optional portion of the event.
Q. How does the Tape Swap work?
A: V.H.S. and PFC is taking a very hands off approach to the swap. Keeping track of your videos, setting up and taking down, and conducting swaps is entirely your own responsibility!
The Golden Rule is please do not disturb the Pickford patrons. There are other movies showing and other customers who will be using the lobby. If you want future swaps to be held here, be good children.
Q: I want to set up a space to swap my movies!
A: Finding space is a first come first served basis. There are two large tables and about 6 smaller tables to use (about the size of a school desk). Heck, Sean was just going to find a space on the carpet to hawk his wares! Please do not set up before 8:00 and your videos are your own responsibility, especially once the event starts at 9. Please have everything cleared and back to it’s original location by 10:30 the latest!
Q: My question wasn’t answered!
A: Relax. This is a first time event and growing pains are part of the experience! V.H.S. can be contacted via all the social Medias (Instagram/Facebook/Gmail: @videohuntersociety) and at our websitewww.futimecoalition.com/vhs
