Killer Video

06/18/2026

Before we had digital trailers and social media, movie marketing lived in these kits. This giant House promotional clamshell was created and distributed by the Los Angeles-based marketing firm Macey Lipman Marketing on behalf of New World Video. There were less than 1,000 produced and only a handful left today. It was only offered to top performing video stores. The set came with the VHS, Folded Rental One-Sheet, Marketing Letter, 1986 Marketing Pamphlet with Ad Mats, a Film Synopsis and a Mini Billboard Logo that went on top of the house. We are so excited to add this grail piece to the museum.

Welcome home little fella. These gumball machines rolled out across the country in 1991 and were a mainstay in blockbuster stores until they ultimately closed. Our full scale immersive video store in the museum is modeled after an 80’s mom and pop so it doesn’t quite fit in, but will be nice and welcome in our upcoming expansion, Totally Killer Video: A celebration of all genres.

These last two weekends have been jam packed! Two awesome shows and a ton of museum tours. Here’s our latest Museum Haul from Spawn Of Scarefest in Kentucky and Living Dead Weekend in Pittsburgh.
We scored some great ad mats and mini ad sheets along with a crispy Cinefantastique from , Two Complete Presskits for Creepshow and Creepshow 2 from and a nice little VHS assortment to add to the collection. Everything we acquire will live on forever in the museum, and we have also begun digitizing and archiving everything.

We are working on a super rad exhibit showcasing all the different designs of blank VHS tapes. In the meantime we keep them all on this rack in the museum so you can still see how unique and nostalgic they are. Got any sealed blanks collecting dust or just want to help contribute to the museum? Don’t hesitate to reach out, there are so many more out there that we need to preserve.

Which ones are your favorites?
