Description

It’s about that time of season for a brand-new wave of Write Brain Video limited edition VHS tapes to add to our growing library of physical media releases! Our last 6 drops have been sold out since last year, but this brand-new batch will feature 25 copies of each; a few on rare colored tape for a few bucks more!

When filmmaker Stephen McCoy finished up his underground masterpiece Nightcrawlers, it was a harrowing 5-year long journey that left him feeling emotionally drained & exhausted. During a brief creative hiatus, he began filming an experiment in the streets, wondering how long he could follow someone in a new surveillance-era where everyone has a portable camera in their pocket. This thought process gave birth to his sophomore feature, the sleeper experimental analog found footage horror film Massage The Tape. Stephen shed his own identity & donned that of an anonymous stalker, hitting the streets & playing the clandestine stranger stalking his unsuspecting prey on a familiar hunting ground for him; the streets of Boston.

Originally planning to put the film online without a name attached to add to the mystery & horror of the experience, Stephen instead began to “massage” the tape, literally violating the format that he filmed it on, creating a visceral effect.

These 25 copies are on a standard unmarked black VHS tape sourced from the original Hi8 tapes. Each tape comes in a clamshell with a note from a special note from Write Brain TV inside.
