Welcome to the 1980s TV horrorshow that never was . . . again. Set around Halloween, Phantasmatapes II is a psychotronic VHS mixtape that reimagines Atom Age Vampire (an Italian mutation of Georges Franju’s Eyes Without a Face) and Don’t Look in the Basement (the gritty proto-slasher from filmmaker S.F. Brownrigg) as a late-nite, home-taped double feature—complete with local TV commercials and a new synthesizer score from Taken by Savages (Jungle Trap). Inspired by hazy memories of channel-surfing at the witching hour, this is a nostalgic and experimental art project from the minds behind Bleeding Skull.
