Monster Kid Home Movies

May 27, 2009 | 1 Comment

Remember when you were a kid and you and your friends would get together, borrow a parent’s “shoulder rocket” video camera, loaded with a fresh VHS tape and start creating those cerished films?  Remember how mad your parent’s got when they saw you taped over grandma’s last Christmas?  Well be ready to relive those memories with “Monster Kid Home Movies“.

Monster Kid Home Movies” captures and immortalizes thirty home movies from an era that pre-dated both DVD and VHS, all thirty films were shot on 8mm and 16mm film.  SEE…the Wolf man vs Frankenstein.  LOOK…at amazing effects created by kids in their free time.  FEAR…the fact that many of these kids are now entertaining you and your children today!  Comic artists Kerry Gammil, author and historian Tom Weaver, Disney animator Frank Dietz, filmmaker Robert Tinnell, and Bob Burns!

The DVD has a run time of just over two hours, and also has an added commentary track by the filmmakers themselves (in grown-up form).  It was also winner of the best independent film of 2005, and the site has won the Bob Burns Kogar Award.  With a very reasonable asking price of $20 dollars I think that this is a great DVD any classic horror cinephile should own.

Check out the website [here] for trailers and quick snippets of the films.

    This is such a cool idea! I made a lot of little horror movies as a kid too. They were pretty sweet. I always made my sister be the killer who I ended up destroying at the end.
