The Un-Usual Suspect

feb1908-suspectvideo.jpg
It is with a very heavy heart that I heard about the demise of the true and only Suspect Video, here in Toronto. Yesterday, a blaze ripped through downtown Toronto, eating up a half a block of old buildings and businesses, and swallowing up Suspect Video in its wake.

Poor Queen St Suspect Video. The source for almost every Zombie Night video during the Invisions years. Here’s hoping it comes back. In the meantime, support Suspect by making the trip to their Markham St location, conveniently located very near to the Bloor & Bathurst Subway station (and even more conveniently located just one block north of me). It worth the trip to Markham.

That’s right Rob– there is another one on Markham Street (605 Markham St.). It doesn’t have quite the eclectic selection of the Queen Street location, but it still has a taste of that underground feel.

And all you people out there holding on to late rentals– get ‘em back– they need ‘em. WE need ‘em! Think of it as one little thing you’re doing to restore a legacy.

Hey Guys,
My name is Daniel and I was the Manager and Head Buyer at the now completely leveled Queen St. location of Suspect Video. Thanks for the kind remembrances! I am currently attempting to resurrect the collection and open a new store a.s.a.p.! Follow the progress and pitfalls at: http://www.500wattbrain.blogspot.com/

Hope to see you all again soon!
