Stitches Ruins National Video Month

Well National VHS and Beta Video Month was a disaster at The Abandoned Video Shop. Just as we though we had solved the problem of the thousands of Bula Quo! copies that were dumped on us. A similar thing happened with a film called Stitches. Twelve thousand were left at our door, totally blocking us off from the outside world. The Quo thing was bad, but Stitches was worse. We watched a copy and to say we were not impressed is an understatement. Ross Noble, you know that lethargic comedian off Have I Got News For You, plays a seedy, down at heel children's entertainer / clown Stitches. Well he hates kids, a fresh take on things there, and goes to a birthday party full of little brats and ends up dying in a very nasty manner. So years later Stitches comes back from the dead to cause murder and mayhem at the same kids sixteenth birthday party. I'm bored writing about it, but you can imagine how dull and gory it all is. Ross Nobel's performance is a master class in apathetic disinterest. And his delivery of the films, flat on their face, zingers is a wonder to behold.
We put up a big sign saying Take these videos please. But more kept turning up. We could now build a three bedroom house with the copies of Stitches we have.Please no more. We need help!
