Welcome to the 1980s TV horror show that never was. Phantasmatapes is a psychotronic VHS mixtape from the minds behind Bleeding Skull, reimagining The Revenge of Dr. X (a Japan-set creature feature written by Ed Wood) and The Brain That Wouldn't Die as a late-night, home-taped double feature — complete with local TV commercials and a new synthesizer score by Taken by Savages.
This limited edition, issued with a slipcover limited to 1,000 units, presents the 72-minute mixtape alongside uncut VHS preservations of both source films, a commentary by Annie Choi and Joseph A. Ziemba, and three new shorts, including The Max Headroom Pirate Incidents. Region-free.
Limited edition slipcover (1,000 units).

Phantasmatapes (2025)
72 min
Welcome to the 1980s TV horrorshow that never was. PHANTASMATAPES is a psychotronic VHS mixtape that reimagines THE REVENGE OF DR. X (a Japan-set creature feature that was written by Ed Wood) and THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE (the savage body horror film that inspired FRANKENHOOKER) 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.
