Nine Worlds Sci-Fi VHS Mix!

We had a blast this weekend at the Nine Worlds Geekfest 2016, this was our fourth time there in a row and it’s always such a great convention. One of the highlights for us though was being able to screen the Nine Worlds Sci-Fi VHS Mix to everyone there, which was made up of these 6 vintage VHS tapes.

Nine Worlds VHS Sci-Fi

When we were at Nine Worlds in 2015 there was a table full of vintage VHS Sci-Fi tapes at the back of the screening room, which had been brought along by the friend of someone that had sadly passed away. The idea was to give the tapes away so other people could enjoy them and that they could live on, an idea we loved so much! So I went through everything there and took this handful of tapes with a thought of doing something special with them. The idea being that we could make these tapes live on even longer by bringing them back once again but in a different form.

So skip forward a year and we’re back at the festival with a special 10-minute mix featuring the funniest, oddest and most expected clips we could find from the tapes. We dropped this on everyone at the end of our first session, giving them the low down on the story of the tapes and why we’d done it. So here it is now for everyone to enjoy, get a load of the Nine Worlds Sci-Fi VHS Mix right here:

Thanks so much to everyone who made it along last night to our Check The Gate 35MM screening of Robert Altman‘s very obscure O.C. & Stiggs, we hope you all made it through this very strange film in one piece. It was the perfect way to experience this unique entry in Altman’s filmography, on the big screen from a pristine looking 35MM print! A huge thanks to Paul and everyone at the Prince Charles Cinema for inviting us to be part of the season and big thanks to Park Circus for providing us with such a high quality print.

Plus we got to find out what was on the Mystery Trailer Reel as well, above are my notes I took while the trailer madness played out on the big screen, so what was on there? Here’s the full list:

Night Crossing (1982)

Sammy’s Super T-Shirt (1978)

Porky’s (1981)

The Rose (1979)

Never Cry Wolf (1983)

Water (1985)

The Peregrine Hunters (1978)

Crime Busters (1977)

The Fury (1978)

Firepower (1979)

Cocoon (1985)

Deep Waters (1978)

So we got super lucky with an incredibly fun and random selection, particularly the 3 super rare Children’s Film Foundation trailers, I knew there must have been a good reason I picked this reel up. Discovering what was on it with everyone last night was the perfect way to start the evening! Hope you all enjoyed them as much as we did!
