OFCS Member Nathan Shumate Publishes Book on B-Movies

The Golden Age of Crap: 77 B-Movies From the Glory Days of VHS, the new book from OFCS member Nathan Shumate, is now available to purchase online.

From the book's website:

The Golden Age of Crap serves up a sampling of junk-food flicks that gained their audiences on videocassette rental shelves during the ’80s and ’90s, a time when one couldn’t visit the video rental store without being tempted by Italian post-apocalyptic adventures, ninja revenge yarns, and zombie-filled “camcorder epics.” The movies covered here run from sleeper hits (Phantasm II) to cult favorites (The Dead Next Door), from unknown stinkers (Plutonium Baby) to undiscovered gems (America’s Deadliest Home Video), all examined with a critical but fun-loving eye.

The OFCS congratulates Nathan on the publication of his new book.
