To Show You How Quickly Things Go ‘Round Here....

Yesterday, I had an idea for a rather strange series of audio dramas.

Those of you old enough to remember Video Stores probably share a particular memory with me...coming across a crazy Video Box with some kick-ass artwork and some bombastic back copy promising enough Thrills n’ Chills to make your brain explode with orgasmic delight.  You rent that video and take it home...only to find that the movie is nothing like the box promised.

So, I asked my fellow artists, what if we made audio dramas based solely on the box art and back copy?

I posted a couple of examples of VHS Box art. Roughly two hours later, our own David Ellis produced an outline for an audio drama based on one of those examples, Death Code: Ninja!

Thus was born VHS Box Theater, a series of done-in-one audio dramas based solely on cheap-ass VHS Videotapes from the classic Age of VHS.  We are not going to watch the movie...we’re going to give you the movie you were told you were going to see!

The first Movie For Your Ears will be available in the first quarter of 2021, with more coming as we get more and more inspired.  

Tell us what you think, and if you have a particular VHS Box that you think would be prime 8TW material, please email it to us at ocadecagonagontheaterworks@gmail.com.  We’d also like to hear from any voice actors (or potential voice actors!), sound designers, writers and other artists interested in doing business with our little audio drama collective!
