Created by real life security guards, Wayne Spitzer and Andy Kumpon, Dead of Night is an ambitious supernatural shot-on-video TV series that aired on Spokane cable-access from 1994-1997.

"Being in the UK, I’d not heard of or seen any of this series previously. So when I saw it was available as a PL release, I knew I would enjoy it. It’s superb low-budget entertainment with some good gory scenes. Looking forward to watching the second disc with the various extras, Superb slipcover and artwork."
"Dead of Night is a moody, low-budget horror anthology that leans into atmosphere and classic genre vibes. Wayne Spitzer and Andy Kumpon keep things simple, focusing on eerie setups and unsettling moments rather than big effects. It’s a rough-around-the-edges watch, but there’s a genuine passion for horror here that makes it enjoyable for fans of indie fright films."
"This public access show is an acquired taste. BUT if you appreciate DIY-style passion and people that just make something because they wanted to, DEAD OF NIGHT is an achievement and worth a watch. Also check out the bonus features including audio commentary for select episodes!"
"I sadly haven't had a chance to dive into this one, but given the subject matter (Mid 90s public access X-Files) and VHShitfest's unblemished record I know I'll probably love this set!"
"Fun silly SOV series that delivers the best and worst of an X-Files monster of the week episode. Disc is stacked with short films, an unaired episode, commentaries, and much more. And I love the cover, homaging a bad foreign movie poster."
"Such a nice discovery, it really is properly weird, yet also like a comfortable blanket. Perfect disc for me to reach for when is wanna watch something out of the ordinary but don't want to dedicate to a full or short movie."
"This entertainment oddity looks like something that came somewhere out of left field, but it is a very engaging and enjoyable watch! The peerless VS restoration process was on full display with stellar sound and picture! Thank you, VS, for continuing to lovingly restore and release so many wonderful films from every conceivable genre! You are keeping physical media alive in this streaming world we now live in! Highly recommended!"
"Dead of Night is a roughâedged SOV fever dream TV show revived by VHShitfest’s Bluâray, preserving its tapeâborn grit, eerie drift, and regionalâhorror charm. Extras deepen its scrappy legacy, making this a meaningful rescue for cult collectors. INCLUDES: 2-Disc Region Free Blu-ray All 12 Original Episodes Previously Unreleased Episode "Tool" Select Commentaries Interview with Wayne Spitzer and Andy Kumpon Oral History of Dead of Night Behind the Scenes Footage Archival News Segments Six Short Films And More! English SDH subtitles"
"This is an entertaining low-budget series if you like science-fiction or horror!"
"Damn VHSshitfest really put out the more interesting, fun whacked out releases. That's why I love them so damn much. A SOV television serious, didn't even know these things broadcasted on Public Access. I've watched like 4 episodes so far as I need to space out my TV viewing but I'm loving it so so. Great presentation guys!"
