The Atomic Archives DVD is another jam-packed release from Carschool FilmoRama. Two hours of content burst out of the box with appearances by Doctor Red Scary, Frankenstein Cop and Thaddeus Ghoul!
But what is Atomic Shock Theater, and who are these people? The Atomic Shock Troupe has been performing together since 1999 when they singlehandedly brought the spook show format — incredibly strange films with even stranger live accompaniment — back to life in the Twin Cities. When you order the Archives, you’ll get to see numerous live show bits, the complete (and out of print) Atomic Shock Party Tape, the original filmed TV pilot and it’s followup, and excerpts from a live TV broadcast of the show. With a guest appearance by Troma’s Lloyd Kaufman, shock rockers Impaler, and much more! Contact Michael Heagle for a copy of this DVD, or watch the full length “Party Tape” video, below!
This is classic early 2000’s video stuff — has it been that long? Atomic Shock Theater was a Minneapolis-based horror host troupe that ran from 1999 to 2003, presenting some of the most outre movies at a wide range a venues in the Twin Cities. Whether at classic movie houses like the Height’s Theatre or impromptu Guerilla Drive In theaters, the Atomic Shock Theater gang brought live midnight-movie-madness to audiences who ate it up like buttered popcorn. This video special can be used as a background tape at a party, or as a warm up to a night of crappy drive-in horror movies! Features loads of vintage trailers and intermission spots, a music video, and dumb comedy up the wazoo. Rock this out on your computer, sure, but get it on your YouTube equipped Blu-Ray player, even better. Enjoy — if you have nothing good to watch, this will be similar!
