The 80s Video Shop was created by two friends with a passion for film and the unforgettable memories of the 80s and early 90s. Opened in July 2022 the goal was simple - to help people relive the magic of the Video Shop by creating a living, breathing time capsule to the greatest Pop Culture period ever! The Video Shop Era was a one of a kind, magical experience which we didn’t realise at the time. The 80s Video Shop also boasts an 80s Bedroom Replica, regular Celebrity Meet & Greets and a 12 Seater Screen Room to hire. The shop has been featured on ITV's This Morning, Central TV and showcased in the NY Post and Starburst Magazine.

Killer Video is a nonprofit museum committed to the preservation, study, and celebration of physical media, with a specialized focus on horror cinema and the VHS era. Our mission is to safeguard the cultural legacy of analog video formats—particularly VHS—by building a living archive of rare and at-risk materials, fostering media literacy, and creating opportunities for public engagement through exhibitions, screenings, and educational programming. At a time when streaming and digital convenience dominate the landscape, the physical media that once defined how we experienced film is rapidly disappearing. Killer Video exists to ensure that the history, aesthetics, and communal rituals associated with analog video are not lost, but instead reexamined, appreciated, and actively preserved. We focus on horror not only because of its vibrant subcultural roots and devoted fanbase, but also because it was a genre that thrived—often uniquely—on home video, allowing independent filmmakers, regional productions, and experimental works to find audiences beyond the mainstream. Killer Video’s programming includes curated screenings of both well-known and obscure films, historical exhibitions that explore the design, marketing, and cultural context of horror on video, and community events such as filmmaker panels, live commentary screenings, and design contests that celebrate VHS-era aesthetics. Through these efforts, we provide a platform for contemporary artists, designers, and filmmakers to engage with the past while building new creative connections to the present. Our archival work centers on collecting, cataloging, and maintaining a growing collection of VHS titles, promotional materials, original artwork, and supporting ephemera. These items are preserved both as historical artifacts and as experiential media—objects meant to be seen, handled, and, where possible, played. Our long-term goal is to build a comprehensive and publicly accessible catalog that not only serves researchers and scholars, but also invites casual fans to explore the forgotten corners of analog horror history. In addition to our permanent collection and rotating exhibitions, Killer Video maintains a fully operational in-person video rental library. This allows us to foster direct interaction with the medium, encouraging audiences to experience the format as it was originally intended: as a tactile, curated, and often communal event. As a public institution, Killer Video is dedicated to inclusive access and lifelong learning. We partner with filmmakers, educators, designers, and archivists to ensure that our programs reflect the full range of voices that have shaped—and continue to shape—the genre. We believe that the preservation of media history is an act of cultural responsibility, and we approach that responsibility with equal parts scholarship, creativity, and enthusiasm. Through all of this, Killer Video remains steadfast in its mission: to keep the strange, wonderful, and terrifying world of analog horror alive—not as a nostalgic novelty, but as a vital part of film and cultural history.
