On this week’s episode of Decayed Tapes, we watched Olaf Ittenbach’s debut SOV feature film, BLACK PAST, a delightful 1989 German splatter fest of blood, guts, and severed limbs that felt like the deformed love child of EVIL DEAD, DEMONS, and A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET. It is a nihilistic annihilation of the human body that we couldn’t help but adore. We love practical effects and gosh darn it we love this movie.

Join our hosts, Max Booth III and Miguel Myers, as we explore the under-appreciated world of shot-on-video horror sleaze created by low-budget filmmakers and sometimes genuine psychopaths.
