PopHorror Let's Get Scared
The Video Nasties are a horror-synth band based in Phoenix, Arizona. They’ve just sent word that they’ve released their debut album, We Are The Video Nasties. The album features 10 synth-soaked aural nightmares for your Halloween listening pleasure.
Walking the line between new wave and synthwave, the band describe themselves as “a Frankenstein-esque meld of Oingo Boingo and John Carpenter.” The band prides themselves in songs reflective of the 1980s horror films on which they were raised.

We Are The Video Nasties Album Details From The Band
Akin to walking through the horror section at a video store of yesteryear, We Are The Video Nasties includes songs directly inspired by such cult classics as From Beyond, TerrorVision, and Deadtime Stories (in collaboration with director Jeffrey Delman), in addition to their own original tales of terror.
“We’re two horror geeks who consumed too many ’80s horror films as impressionable youth and find ourselves now compelled to recreate the synth-based spooky melodies of the period,” explains Burning, who is also a film composer. The result is macabre yet often tongue-in-cheek.
Here’s a look at their new album cover…
