7-17-25 VHSANDCHILL OKC Presents VHS GRINDHOUSE @ BOOKISH
When: Thursday, July 17th at 7:00pm
Where: Bookish, 1005 NW 36th Street, Oklahoma City, OK
Price: FREE!
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!
When a simple astronomer named Zane Zaminski (lol) (Charlie Sheen) discovers a radio transmission that originated from space, he's fired and falls headfirst into an alien conspiracy with dark implications for the human race.
This 1996 release was absolutely annihilated in the box office. Not by a movie opening the same weekend. It couldn't compete with just the marking campaign of a little-known movie that released a month later titled - INDEPENDENCE DAY. Directed by David Twohy (Timescape, Pitch Black), and starring Charlie Sheen, Teri Polo, and Ron Silver, this movie suffered absolute defeat in the North American box office. Though, it still got a Windows '97 video game and a straight to DVD sequel. These were different times.
It was also voted by YOU to be the film we're going to watch in July. You did this to yourselves.
"What is this, Tales from the Darkside?" - Zane Ziminski
**PRESENTED ON ORIGINAL VHS IN GLORIOUS PAN & SCAN**
Bookish has onsite beverages and treats by Caboose Coffee!
Bookish is Oklahoma City's only locally owned used bookstore.
They're located at 1005 NW 36th St, right off of Western.
DOORS OPEN @ 7:00PM, SHOW STARTS @ 7:30PM

In early 2016 it all started with the dream of having an old school TV wall, the kind we all saw in our favorite 80's and 90's flicks. After a few trips to some local thrifts stores, I had more than enough old TVs and VCRs. It was about this time I came into a collection of a few thousand VHS tapes and not long after VHSANDCHILL nights were born. Every month or so we started showings of classic 80's and 90's movies. As these showings became more popular we began doing some theme showings and marathons. We enjoy watching these showings bring in people from every age group and all walks of life. VHS is dead. Long live VHS!
