The Basement Tapes [Book]

VS Press presents The Basement Tapes—a curated deep dive into the eclectic VHS archive of The Basement, a studio and art collective based in San Francisco’s Mission District. This book offers a unique look at their collection, shaped by a fascination with greasy horror films, obscure science fiction, niche special-interest nightmares, and exploitation cinema. The Basement Tapes serves as both a visual archive and a passionate tribute to these often-overlooked pieces of analog media history.
