R.I.P. Hollywood Video and Movie Gallery

All Hollywood Video and Movie Gallery stores in the US are going to close.   Massive liquidations sales are due to start soon.  This is really bad news for slasher and horror fans because these stores would carry extreme and uncut titles too controversial for family friendly Blockbuster.  It’s also bad news for slasher and horror film makers because it means fewer outlets for their films.  The one positive is the liquidation sales will be a great chance for slasher fans to add to their collections.  I’m already salivating at the thoughts of plundering the local Hollywood Video.  When I get through their horror section is going to look like a Viking raiding party attacked the place.
