2025 is here and VHSANDCHILL OKC is resurrecting one of our classic screening series from days past - VHS GRINDHOUSE is back!
VHS GRINDHOUSE is a series of classic films that may or may not be the greatest films ever made! This VHS delights are pulled straight from the VHSANDCHILL OKC collection. Movies that DESERVE their day in court for the crimes committed TO them or BY them! ​These films will scream from the heavens the madness that is their message! We'll also have a fun giveaway with the book VIDEOTAPES FROM HELL from The Floating Bookshop!

Jobe (Matt Frewer) exists as a malevolent consciousness in virtual reality and seeks to discover the technology to hack into all the world's computers. Jobe contacts Peter (Austin O'Brien), who had been a friend during his corporeal existence, to assist him, but the young man realizes Jobe's evil intent. Peter calls on Benjamin (Patrick Bergin), a brilliant computer engineer, to help thwart Jobe's scheme for world domination, and a battle rages throughout cyberspace and in the real world.

Continuing our year long series of screening films that were released in the far-flung past year of 1996, LAWNMOWER MAN 2 is one we've been waiting for. This film only had a worldwide theatrical gross of $2.4 million against a $15 million budget. Pierce Brosnan was asked to reprise his role from the original. Strangely, he passed to film some movie called GOLDENEYE or something. I dunno, anyway, I may or may not (I did) buy some actual screen-used props from this masterpiece (because of course I did) and we're going to have some fun with this showing!
This has been a LOOOONG time coming. We know you've been waiting and hoping for the day that we screen LAWNMOWER MAN 2 on VHS. Well, get ready because your dreams have COME TRUE!

"Out there, people look at me and they see half a person. But in here, they see what I want them to see...how I really am." - Jobe Smith
