About this Event
Life in a small town takes a dark turn when mysterious footage begins appearing on VHS cassettes at the local Video Hut. Jeremy works at the counter of Video Hut in Nevada, lowa in the late 1990s. When Stephanie Parsons comes in to return her copy of Targets, starring Boris Karloff-an old movie, one Jeremy himself had ordered for the store-she has an odd complaint: "There's something on it," she says, but doesn't elaborate.
Two days later, Lindsey Redinius brings back She's All That, a new release, and complains that there's something wrong with it. So Jeremy takes a look. And indeed, in the middle of the movie the screen blinks dark for a moment and She's All That is replaced by a black-and-white scene, shot in a barn, with only the faint sounds of someone breathing. Four minutes later, She's All That is back. But there is something profoundly disturbing about that scene. And the barn looks a lot like a barn just outside of town.
Jeremy doesn't want to be curious. In truth, it freaks him out, deeply. This has gone far enough, maybe too far already. But Stephanie is pushing, and once his boss takes a look and becomes obsessed, there's no more ignoring the disturbing scenes on the videos. And all of a sudden, what had once been the placid, regular old lowa fields and farmhouses now feels haunted and threatening, imbued with loss and instability and profound foreboding.
