Killer Video

10/27/2026

WE DID IT! 100% FUNDED! 🎬🥹

When we launched this campaign, we were running on late nights, nervous energy, and a stubborn belief that physical media still matters. Putting an all-or-nothing goal out into the world means making yourself completely vulnerable, and having 206 of you show up with $35,065 to say “we believe in this, too” is something we will never take for granted.

Because of you, Totally Killer Video is officially happening! From the shelves we build to every movie we catalog, this space belongs to all of us.

Now that our permanent indoor home is secured, we have a few days left to take the cinema outside our four walls.

🚨STRETCH GOAL #1 IS LIVE: $40,000 for "Movies on the Lawn" 🌳🎬

We are raising an additional $5,000 to fund a commercial-grade, sealed-air outdoor cinema setup (20-foot airtight screen, 6,000-lumen laser projector, and silent battery power) for two big community reasons:

Free, Accessible Community Pop-Ups: Hosting free outdoor movie nights right on our lawn at Selle Generator Works, in neighborhood parks, and across local green spaces with zero admission fees and zero barriers.

Nonprofit Sustainability: When not hosting free community screenings, the rig will be available for private, neighborhood, and corporate rentals to generate recurring revenue that directly supports our tape archive.

Every single dollar pledged from this moment forward goes directly toward securing this outdoor rig with zero risk!

THANK YOU, EVERYONE! LET’S TAKE IT OUTSIDE!

SURPRISE COLLECTOR DROP: Limited 9"x24" Screenprint Trios by Chris Garofalo!

To help push Totally Killer Video through the final stretch of our Kickstarter campaign, acclaimed cult cinema illustrator Chris Garofalo (Garofalo Designworks) just donated 10 sets each of two stunning screenprint trios!

Every single print is hand-pulled in an iconic 9" x 24" format on heavyweight archival stock. We are releasing them at $50 per pack of three—less than $17 per print—with 100% of proceeds directly funding our Kickstarter

Here are the two packs live on Kickstarter right now:

🔪 THE "SLASHER" TRIO (9"x24" | Pack of 3)
- The Prowler
- Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning
- The Burning (Official Colonial Theatre screening print)

🎭 THE "THEATER" TRIO (9"x24" | Pack of 3)
- Phantom of the Paradise
- The Phantom of the Opera
- Theater of Blood

STRICT INVENTORY LIMIT: ONLY 10 SETS OF EACH EXIST Because inventory is strictly limited, we have split each pack to make it fair for everyone:

For Current Backers: 4 sets of each pack are available in the Add-Ons menu. (Click Manage Your Pledge ➡️ Change Your Pledge ➡️ select your add-on!)

For New Backers & Art Collectors: 6 sets of each pack are listed as Standalone $50 Reward Tiers so outside collectors can claim the art directly!

Selling out all 20 sets clears an immediate $1,000 off our remaining goal, bringing us under $6,300 left to cross the finish line.

Huge gratitude to Chris Garofalo for supporting physical media and Totally Killer Video.

Huge shoutout and massive gratitude to the legendary Robert Kurtzman and Marcy King for this incredible donation to the museum!

Sitting proudly on the Killer Video counter are two absolute pieces of View Askewniverse history: the iconic Co*******er hand from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back alongside the epic Iron Bob Mask from Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. We think Kevin Smith himself would be proud to see these legendary creations from his cinematic universe preserved and celebrated right here.

Having genuine movie magic sculpted by the masters of practical FX right here on display is beyond unreal.

Thank you so much, Bob and Marcy, for your incredible generosity and for continuing to champion cult cinema history and video store culture!

What an unforgettable night at the Akron Independent Horror Short Film Festival! Having over 500 horror fans, filmmakers, and creators pack the room to celebrate independent cinema exceeded every expectation, and the energy was electric from the very first short to the final stinger. A massive, heartfelt thank you to everyone who showed up to support grassroots film, our dedicated panel of judges who had the brutal task of scoring such a phenomenal slate, and the entire Akron Civic crew for running a world-class, seamless event behind the scenes. Most of all, endless gratitude to the visionary filmmakers and crew who shared their nightmares with our community. The official red carpet photos are live—scroll through, tag yourselves and your crew, and relive the madness with us!

Thank you especially to Christiana Cacciato owner of The Green Photograph for all of these amazing shots. The Mixer and Afterparty photos will be posted soon.
