TEMPE VIDEO was first spawned as a mail-order distributor in the summer of 1991 as an offshoot of producer/director J.R. Bookwalter's The Suburban Tempe Company (later Tempe Entertainment). Their first release, BASIC HOW-TO HALLOWEEN MAKEUPS VOLUME ONE, paved the way for many more VHS releases to come and spawned an offshoot label, Video Outlaw, in 1994.
Tempe Video took a hiatus in 1996 during a move to Los Angeles, California but was resurrected for the digital age as Tempe DVD in 2001 with the acquisition of three features produced for Full Moon Pictures WITCHOUSE 3: DEMON FIRE, HELL ASYLUM and DEAD & ROTTING. That led to a series of Remastered Special Editions for previous Tempe productions such as SKINNED ALIVE, BLOODLETTING, OZONE and POLYMORPH as well as a variety of acquisitions including TOWNIES and EDDIE PRESLEY.
A spinoff label, Splatter Rampage, was launched in 2002 with the release of MULVA: ZOMBIE ASS KICKER! & FILTHY McNASTY Double Feature and the Bad Movie Police label followed later in the year with CASE .. 1: GALAXY OF THE DINOSAURS and CASE .. 2: CHICKBOXER (a new spin on some entertainment-challenged productions from 1991-1992). In 2006, Tempe has added Fat Cat DVD to the mix, a genre-bending label launched with PROJECT: VALKYRIE and DAWN as well as Brett Kelly Entertainment with our October 24 release, the horror/comedy MY DEAD GIRLFRIEND.
Who I'd like to meet: Indie film fans and filmmakers! We are beginning to diversify away from being strictly a "horror & cult" label and are actively seeking documentaries and genre-bending features, or anything that's interesting and unique.
Thanks for adding us to your myspace page! We truly hope you enjoy our music. Currently we are booking for 2009. If you are interested in having us come to your area, contact us, we would love to work with you in scheduling an event. Thanks from the staff of Forerunner.
On this day after Thanksgiving, I would like to say Thanks to Tempe Video for years of entertainment and friendship. Actually, that would have been more fitting on Thanksgiving. Ah fuck it, too late for "should have beens" now.
