Phoenix, Arizona-based horror show The Video Nasties have self-released their debut album, We Are The Video Nasties. 10 synth-soaked aural nightmares are available to stream/purchase on Bandcamp.

Walking the line between new wave and synthwave, The Video Nasties sound like a Frankenstein-esque meld of Oingo Boingo and John Carpenter. Vocalist Matt Dougherty and instrumentalist Justin Burning craft songs that reflect the '80s horror films on which they were raised.

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.

The Video Nasties can be found haunting Bandcamp, Instagram, and Facebook.

We Are The Video Nasties track listing:

1. Terror Vision
2. Bedtime Tales ("Deadtime Stories" cover)
3. Bag of Bones
4. The Jackling Horde
5. Don't Open the Doorway
6. Disciples of the Plastic Mask
7. Eat Your Humanity
8. My Darling Frankenstein
9. Forward from Beyond
10. Season's Ending

Premiering Friday, April 20 at 1 AM (Friday night/Saturday morning) each 15-minute episode of Night Flight on IFC will bring back classic guest stars such as Ozzy Osbourne, David Bowie, KISS, The Sex Pistols and even Gumby. 18 episodes of Night Flight will air this year. Catch a sneak peek HERE. 

To honor the return of Night Flight, IFC is hosting a 90-minute screening event on Thursday, April 19 at 7:00PM at Brooklyn's Alamo Drafthouse (445 Albee Square W #4, Brooklyn, NY 11201), where they'll be showing a collection of the series' best moments coming to IFC's air followed by a Q&A with original Night Flight Creator and Producer Stuart S. Shapiro. Tickets are available HERE.

Night Flight episodes in their original airdate form, plus an array of provocative new selections (many from MVD)  from the world of music, documentaries, animation, cult film, horror and more for just $39.99 a year.
