Brooklyn born John Saxon was born on this day in 1936. John starred in iconic video store selections including Black Christmas, A Nightmare on Elm Street and Enter the Dragon, all of which we have for rent!
Still thinking about this weekend. Not just the film (but WOW). Also: the two of us who opened a video store in a movie theater & ended up here a year later. 📼 Thank you @communitytheaterny for giving our community a home. #SleepoverTradingCo #BeKindRewind #PhysicalMedia #Catskill #CampMiasama
Last night with @josephscrimshaw at the premiere of @deadmediamovie 📀💀! A fun horror film for all of our fellow tapeheads, or in this case discheads. It's horror comedy about cursed physical media so... perfect! 📀 Stop by the store to see Joseph's signed DVD cleaning cloth in our collection.
The immensely talented Andy Hallett was born on this day in 1975. He left his mark as Lorne on "Angel" before we tragically lost him at only 33.
We made exclusive VHS sticker sheets for this weekend's premiere, and a few sheets survived the night. The rest go on sale in store when we reopen this week. 📼 Come grab one before they're gone, Traders! #SleepoverTradingCo #BeKindRewind #PhysicalMedia #Catskill #VHS
A sci-fi rock musical! Pia Zadora + an alien! Ruth Gordon the SHERIFF! 1984 was a different planet. VOYAGE OF THE ROCK ALIENS hits the big screen August 22 7:30 for Sleepover Saturday, hosted by Glam Stroker @communitytheaterny. Free VHS swap 5:30 before the show, so bring your tapes. 📼
How do you build a video store in a drive in snack bar? Tape by tape. Here's how the Camp Miasma video store dream pop-up came together. 📼 Every poster, tape, & VCR made the trip from @communitytheaterny to @hiwaydriveinny, all for @janedoesntknow. Thanks @mubi. Go see the film opening this week!
Tale of The Mummy was released on this day in 1999. Helmed by gay director Russell Mulcahy, the man behind the vids of Video Killed the Radio Star & Total Eclipse of the Heart. It has a stacked cast including Christopher Lee & Shelly Duvall. We have it in the rental collection. Have you seen it?
Photo dump from last night @hiwaydriveinny. Riding this high for a while. Thank you for showing up, Traders. If you were there, tell us your favorite memory in the comments. 📼 #SleepoverTradingCo #BeKindRewind #PhysicalMedia #Catskill #CampMiasama
How do we begin to summarize last night? We can't. Our devoted Video Club member @janedoesnotknow at our pop up shop with Freddy Krueger. @hannaheinbinder discovering her mother was in Witchboard 2. @billkramer_ stopping by alongside some bloody campers. @glam.stroker hosting it all. 📼
A closer look at The Basement. Comics in the longboxes, Freddy watching over the rental wall, Pinhead by the arcade. Every corner down here has something staring back at you 📼 Open during regular store hours, Traders. #SleepoverTradingCo #BeKindRewind #PhysicalMedia #Catskill #RetroGaming
It is coming very soon. Not just Camp Miasma. 🎥😱 But the VIDEO STORE at the bottom of the lake. 📼📺 Can't wait to show you! What a day this is going to be. 🔥 @communitytheaterny @hiwaydriveinny
The Basement has a copy of The Basement. We love meta & sometimes the shelf talks back. Found in the horror aisle of our new lower level, naturally 📼 Come find your own strange coincidence, Traders. #SleepoverTradingCo #BeKindRewind #PhysicalMedia #Catskill #HorrorMovies
We never stop. The Basement just opened, but we are already getting ready for our biggest event ever @hiwaydriveinny, all in honor of @welcometocampmiasma & the very special @janedoesnotknow who will be surprised at what we've concocted! This tease can't even do it justice 📼 More soon, Traders.
Take the tour. This is The Basement, our new lower level. We could not have gotten here, barely a year into being open, without our incredible partners @communitytheaterny 🎬📼 Come see it in person, Traders, under the marquee. Open now. #SleepoverTradingCo #BeKindRewind #PhysicalMedia #Catskill #VHS
Two floors now. Dig through both. 👏 The Basement is open to the public starting today. Toys and tapes upstairs, thousands of movies to rent downstairs, comics, an arcade machine, and more! 📼 See you down there, Traders. #SleepoverTradingCo #BeKindRewind #PhysicalMedia #Catskill #VideoStore
Marry your best friend. Then RUN A BUSINESS TOGETHER! As we approach our one-year anniversary of the @sleepovertrading.bsky.social shop, Rob and I couldn’t be more proud. We expanded to the BASEMENT LEVEL! And tomorrow we have the biggest event we’ve ever done. 👏 Thread continued 👇
You never know what is on the rental shelf. Jane and the Lost City, 1987. Churchill sends a newspaper comic strip pinup to Africa to beat the Nazis to a diamond mine. Sam J. Jones took this after FLASH GORDON. The 3 Nazi brothers chasing her are played by the same man. 📼 Pull it & find out, Traders.
This came out of a dumpster. 😱 A Dirty Dancing video store standee from 1988, rebuilt piece by piece. It is standing in the new basement now! 📼 One of Guido's favorites. 😍 Doors open tomorrow, Traders. #SleepoverTradingCo #BeKindRewind #PhysicalMedia #Catskill #DirtyDancing
Arnold Schwarzenegger turns 79 today. Come with us if you want to rewind. Commando, Predator, The Running Man, Total Recall. Every video store action section was basically a shrine. We have them all! 📼 Tell us your go to Arnold rental, Traders. #BeKindRewind #PhysicalMedia #Schwarzenegger
One hundred artists drew on the same cover. The Giant-Size X-Men 100 Project softcover is on the shelf. Every commissioned cover in one book, with art from so many icons. Proceeds go to the Hero Initiative, which helps comic creators in need. 📼 Downstairs next to the X-Men machine, Traders.
Friday the basement opens to everyone, but members can still preview it first! Thousands of comics. Aisles of rentals. And so much more we have been sitting on for months. 📼 373 Main Street under the marquee. See you down there, Traders. #SleepoverTradingCo #BeKindRewind #PhysicalMedia #Catskill
New books upstairs, back issues downstairs. On the featured rack: What If...? Spider-Man #1 and a double dose of Masters of the Universe. The deeper runs live in the basement. 📼 Two floors of comics now, Traders. #SleepoverTradingCo #BeKindRewind #PhysicalMedia #Catskill #NCBD
Every used tape tells on somebody. A Buffy bootleg with a homemade label. We digitized it and the tape kept going past the end. Whoever taped this over chose Buffy over XXX. 📼 Never a dull box, Traders. #SleepoverTradingCo #BeKindRewind #PhysicalMedia #Catskill #VHSFind
Thirty six reviews and still five stars. Every one of those came from somebody who walked in, dug through the tapes, & took the time to say something afterward. That carries a lot of weight for a shop this size. 📼 Search Sleepover Trading Co. on Google and tell us what you found. Thank you, Traders.
Everybody remembers the first tape they ever rented. Ours skipped in the same spot every single time. Yours goes in the comments. 📼 Tell us, Traders. #SleepoverTradingCo #BeKindRewind #PhysicalMedia #Catskill #VideoStore
You never know what is on the rental shelf. Gargoyles, 1972 CBS movie of the week with a giant puppet & a young Scott Glenn on a dirt bike. It won the Emmy for makeup. First job Stan Winston ever got credit on, years before Terminator and Jurassic Park. 📼 Pull it and find out why, Traders.
Formats change. The habit does not. A whole shelf of tape tech down the stairs. Colored Video Visions rentals, blanks still sealed, 8mm projectors, Beta boxes 📼 Video Club members get the Basement first, starting today. Everyone else Friday. Come down the stairs, Traders
