Worse Than Jail is the internet alias of Kentucky-based artist Matt Minter. Minter is most notable for his horror-centric B&W illustrations, as well video work and association with the noise-rock group Wretched Worst. Worse Than Jail Video is a two part series amassing the celluloid inspirations for Minter’s work. Expanding on Minter’s curatorial contributions to Los Angeles’ Cathode Cinema, the series will check off a list of exceptionally psychotronic obscurities that have never been seen before and are unavailable anywhere else. Czech music videos, homemade puppet theater, and public access Star Trek parodies will all get prominent airtime for this special midnight block.
Spectacle will present the first part of this program with the film “Worse than Tinder” which is about ill-fated hookups and damned dates! Be sure to check back later this Fall, during our Halloween programming, for more of Minter’s insanity.
