Video Store Day is Saturday, October 21!

Posted October 5th 2023

Save the date! Join Scarecrow on Saturday, October 21 for the 13th annual International Independent Video Store Day. In the store, we'll be celebrating all things physical media with exclusive sales on select titles from Criterion and OCN and 50% off all used items.

Or join us on Scarecrow's YouTube channel for a livestream of the event hosted by Scarecrow’s own Emalie Soderback and Matt Lynch (of Viva Physical Media fame), featuring interviews with special guests, hilarious video montages, musical interludes, and lots more!


Video Store Day recognizes the importance of film's preservation via physical media and is a great opportunity to support Scarecrow's work stewarding the world's largest publicly available video archive. Donations during Video Store Day are a crucial part of Scarecrow's annual budget and we REALLY need the entire Scarecrow Community's support. Make your gift during the livestream and we'll read your message live on the air!
