KILLER VIDEO

A RETRO HORROR EXHIBIT, GALLERY + GIFT SHOP

OPEN NOW IN DOWNTOWN AKRON

Be transported to a time when VCRs reigned supreme and late-night movie marathons were a rite of passage!

Our exhibit showcases the allure of horror films on the beloved VHS format. Explore a meticulously curated collection of spine-tingling tapes –from campy slashers and supernatural thrillers to cult classics. Whether you're a seasoned horror aficionado or a curious newcomer, every detail of Killer Video, from the fluorescent lights to the vintage movie posters, will evoke a sense of nostalgia.

Conceived of by owner Jonathon Carmichael, who worked in the entertainment industry in L.A. for 20 years, the gallery also includes original standees, lobby cards, mini ad sheets, promotional items, limited edition screen prints, and toys from his private collection.

Our gift shop features local makers and artists and is stocked with original prints, jewelry, t-shirts, sculptures, comics, and one-of-a-kind collectibles.
