“This is Dad’s ‘Collateral Damage,’ kids. Hands off!"

We've been finding Frank Woehrle's sing-a-long videos all over thrift stores in southern Wisconsin. I guess you could call it the luck of the "Irsh." You can see and hear a whole lot more of Frank on the FFF Volume 5 DVD. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Introducing the Found Footage Festival's new monthly comedy show in New York, featuring new and rare VHS gems, comedians and storytellers sharing their favorite finds, and clips from notable video collectors. The inaugural show, March 20, will feature some brand-new stuff we're working on for our Vol. 6 tour, choice selections from Derrick Beckles of TV Carnage, comedy from Leo Allen (Jon Benjamin Has a Van) and Craig Baldo (Conan),  a newly discovered filmstrip by Jason Trachtenburg (Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players), clips from the good folks at HorrorBoobs.com, and perhaps an exciting celebrity drop-in. You will leave satisfied (and possibly drunk). At the awesome Nitehawk Cinema in Williamsburg.

Our friends at Brooklyn Brewery are making it an extra special night. Delicious, rarely available Brooklyn Radius beer will be served at a special price. Lager, too. Tickets are $10 and available here.

Nitehawk Cinema, 136 Metropolitan Ave., Williamsburg, Brooklyn

SOLD OUT  Word from Nitehawk is that they are down to just 5 tickets left and will be holding them for first-come-first-serve walk-ups night of the show. Join us next month, and get your tickets early!

There are only four days left until Christmas and, if you’re like us, you’ve barely even started your VHS shopping. Not to worry, we’ve scoured our massive collection of found videotapes to highlight some holiday chestnuts that every kid will be clamoring for this year. So warm yourself in front of the video fireplace, suck back some peppermint schnapps, and get ready to circle your favorites in the Found Footage Festival’s VHS Christmas Wish List.

Holiday Workout. Celebrate the birth of Christ by working out with a woman named Joanie.

Carving A Santa Face. Not sure about the santa face, but with this cover, Gene Webb has carved his way into our hearts.

Kenny and Corky Singing "Nuttin' for Christmas." We've had nuttin' but nightmares ever since finding this video. 

The Christmas Light. This is the movie Pixar would've made if it had a severe brain injury.

Jingle Cats. Here's a rare example where the footage actually lives up to the video cover. See here.

Learn To Paint With Priscilla. Learn how to make all the Christmas sweatshirts you admired so much on your kindergarten teacher.

Kathie Lee's Rock n' Tots Cafe. You know,  the Rock n’ Tots Cafe was a nice, quiet place to grab a turkey club until Kathie Lee took over.

Christy: Santa's First Female Reindeer. "Christy" sounds more like the name of Santa's first female hair dresser.
 

The back cover clues us in on the plot, and it looks like their CAPS LOCK was stuck.

Hank's Christmas Glitter 2004. We found this video in Vancouver and it appears that Hank is Canada's premier documentarian of Christmas glitter. More here.

He-Man She-Ra Christmas Special. Christmas is always a special time of year for heathen barbarians from another dimension.

Holiday Kartoon Kavalcade. All "Holiday Kartoon Kavalcade" wants for Christmas is a couple of C's.

Punching with Master Bob Klein. Not technically a Christmas video, but when Master Bob Klein puts on a santa suit, prepare to get punched.

Nude Ice Skating. Finally, an opportunity to use the word "Zamboner."

Jingle Bell Rockin' Christmas. Featuring America’s most beloved Christmas pirate.
