Heavy Metal Parking Lot — 40th Anniversary VHS

Forty years later, the parking lot is still open.

HEAVY METAL PARKING LOT is celebrating its 40th anniversary the way a movie born into underground tape-trading culture probably should: with another VHS.

Jeff Krulik and John Heyn shot the legendary documentary outside Maryland's Capital Centre on May 31, 1986, capturing Judas Priest fans before a concert and accidentally creating one of home video's great cult artifacts.

The film subsequently spread through VHS circulation and tape trading, becoming far more famous than its tiny production could have predicted.

Four decades later, Lunchmeat has put HEAVY METAL PARKING LOT back where it belongs — on videocassette.

The 40th Anniversary VHS is currently shipping and available directly from Lunchmeat.
