WE GOT THE KEYS!

Killer Video is officially expanding! We just took over the rest of the first floor, and we’re transforming the new space into the ultimate physical media clubhouse.

Welcome to Totally Killer Video - While horror will always have a special place in our hearts and be the focus of the museum, this new expansion is dedicated to all genres!

What we're building:

* Massive Rental Library: Over 10,000 movies across every genre, plus video game rentals.

* Boutique Physical Media Shop: New and rare 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD releases from powerhouse labels like Arrow Video, Vinegar Syndrome, Severin Films, Synapse, and Terror Vision.

* Vinyl, CD & Cassette Soundtracks: Expand your collection with killer film scores and soundtrack releases.

* Micro-Cinema & Concessions: An intimate screening room showing all-genre cinema, flashback screenings, and indie releases—complete with fresh concessions.

* Community Lounge: A dedicated spot to sit, talk movies, swap recommendations, and hang out.

Swipe through to see the raw "before" photos of the space!

To help fund the buildout, shelving, cinema seating, and equipment, we are officially launching a Kickstarter campaign running from October 1st to December 1st.

We couldn’t have reached this milestone without our incredible community, and we can’t wait to build this next chapter together.

Big Love,

Jonathon and Erika
