Dead Media Brings 90s Horror to Life | Lawrence News

Joseph Scrimshaw’s new low-budget horror gem Dead Media is coming to Atlas9, and it’s a wild ride: a young fan, her uncle, and roommates accidentally unleash a 90s horror flick from a DVD—only to have the movie come to life. Inspired by classics like Scream and fueled by his Minneapolis roots, Scrimshaw’s film celebrates physical media as a rebellious act against streaming’s homogenized chaos. The movie’s self-aware homage to VHS and DVD aesthetics—complete with scratched discs and fake bonus features—immerses viewers in that nostalgic, tactile magic of home video. It’s a love letter to lost films, video stores, and the deeper engagement they once fostered. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
