Can anyone supply me with the OFFICIAL subtitle track for Shin Godzilla? I’m running into issues with Maniac Video dubbing off the disc for some reason and all I’m finding is fansubs.

Reminder that I’ll have a table at Cinema of the Macabre presents: FRIGHT NIGHT MARKET 2023. Should have some OOP sewer_rot_records stuff that I’ve had stashed away, tons of rare VHS from my personal collection, vintage toys, metal shirts and longsleeves, and hopefully some Maniac Video stuff!

ANNOUNCEMENT: Going forward, MV002: Biozombie is officially retired and I will no longer fulfill any reissue requests. Maniac Video is all about keeping cult flicks alive. Always support official releases and please buy the new blu-ray for Biozombie. Most of my old titles were before I had any ability to acquire licenses, so please always support my films when they go back into print in an official capacity with a company that has the budget and resources to do these films justice. Support!

MV008: The Maniac Returns With V.H.S!!!

This long awaited, multiple years in the making comeback features a gang of Violent Homicidal Slashers from Canada: VHS! This is a mashup of some of their absolutely killer music video productions for the album Gore From Beyond The Stars. Run time is approx 45 minutes and it’s a total blast from start to end. This release is $25 plus $3 shipping. The available options include:

A: Green clamshell-yellow tape-green flap
B: Gold clamshell-green tape-yellow flap

After those are gone, I have a few extra black tapes with white clamshells.

*PLEASE NOTE*
NO MV008 TAPES WILL BE SHIPPED TO CANADA, AT ALL. The band is Canadian, please, please support them before you’re willing to pay the exorbitant US to Canada fee. It’s not worth it when you can support them directly. Other international orders outside Canada, please feel free to DM while supplies last.

MV008;

Final part of the MV catalog retrospective! MV009 releases before the end of this month so stay tuned!

This was my most ambitious project, involving editing together a feature length films worth of audio and video (mixing in sound off the soundboard.) Halfway through my laptop basically gave out and I had to get a new one, so it definitely was the most labor intensive as well as costly. 75% of this release ended up getting paid out to the bands (my own terms), and that left each band with their own exclusive color variant (see photos). Blue and especially red tapes are extremely difficult to source, but man did those exclusives end up looking sick. All the labor and costs were pretty huge for this, but I don’t do this for money and I ended up super proud of the result and that’s what counts. I also retain the exclusive rights for this so it’s going to be high priority with reissues. Also very sick art from who also came up with the entire concept, a 3 headed monster representing a head for each band. Sick.

MV 007: Oxygen Destroyer! One of my favorites, and first licensed band release. This one first launched in August of 2019 if I remember right. Was so happy how this turned out. I edited together everything from this entire tour, both the live footage and clips of the band goofin around on the road. This is still the only way to see this footage, and before you ask, I promise it will be reissued along with my entire catalog. I’ve been getting swamped with requests, so if you want to back order anything, please just send me a message on the Maniac Video FB or here on IG. All orders are filled in the order they were requested, no preorder required. Hail the fu***ng kaiju! KMDC forever!
