If you were a Vulcan Video customer, you probably looked upon the various pieces of memorabilia and movie ephemera hung around the store with envy. Well, be careful what you wish for. With the tragic closing of the independent video store in early April, owner Diane Donnell is preparing a garage sale starting on Wednesday, April 22 to offload much of the inventory. This includes movie posters, collectibles, signage, display units, and shelving.

Whether you were eyeing that bust of Frankenstein, a Bates Motel tacker, or an original Stand by Me theater poster, you now have your chance. Donnell says everything must go by Friday, so grab your mask, gloves, and a trailer (if you plan on hauling off any furniture), and prepare to wait in line (only small groups will be let in at a time).

We’re sad to see another great piece of Austin history vanish into the ether, but just maybe you can honor its 35-year existence with a memory from its hallowed walls.

The garage sale is taking place Wed.- Fri. (April 22-24) between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at Vulcan Video’s former home, 4411 Russell Dr., Austin, 78745.
