Mondo Video launches tomorrow with VHS of SLEDGEHAMMER!

I, as well as other writers of DTB, are fans of Mondo Tees.  Mondo Tees puts out amazing custom posters and t-shirts for cult films.  They are truly an business that tailors to the fans.  I had the pleasure of visiting the Mondo store at the Alamo Drafthouse S. Lamar location last September and I hope to enter that store with more money than I had upon my previous entry.  Yesterday they announced that they will being reviving VHS production in tying in with Intervision’s release of Sledgehammer (previously reported on here).  Geek out beyond the break and pray to the deity of your choice that you can buy a newly manufactured VHS.

Here is what Mondo posted as a Press Release:

Mondo, the collectible art boutique arm of Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, is pleased to announce a partnership with Intervision Picture Corporation to release 1983′s SLEDGEHAMMER on VHS. SLEDGEHAMMER, the first shot-on-tape slasher movie for the home video market, will be the first video release of Mondo Video, a label created to release rare genre films in a collectible VHS format. The VHS release will coincide with the film’s first release on DVD and a Terror Tuesday screening on Tuesday, May 10, 2011 at Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, TX. Mondo Video’s SLEDGEHAMMER includes the original box art and copy from the 1983 VHS release and will be available for purchase only at MondoTees.com on Wednesday, May 11, 2011.
