The most comprehensive, all-inclusive look at the history and evolution of shot on video horror films. In 1982, “Boardinghouse” became the first shot on video feature-length horror film ever made. Totally lensed on videotape, the film was later transferred to 16mm and blown-up to 35mm for theatrical exhibition. In 1983, David A. Prior shot “Sledgehammer” on video and eventually released the film on videotape. For the first time, analog video became the format used in motion picture productions. It was smeary, messy and it wasn’t film… but it was cheap. In 1985, United Home Video boldly released “Blood Cult” with the claim it was “the first movie made for the home video market.” The booming popularity of video stores coupled with a never-satisfied demand for content ensured these films longevity. Soon hundreds of titles followed, all video-created features by independent unknowns. They weren’t from Hollywood. They weren’t trained. But they had a lot of heart and a love for horror. And they made their own movies against the odds. For the first time EVER – “ANALOG NIGHTMARES” has brought these films together. Everything from “Boardinghouse” to “Zombie Holocaust” individually reviewed, categorized and presented chronologically by production year.
