Heavy Metal Parking Lot, also known as "the majority of some of our wasted youths," is now available on DVD. In case you're not familiar, Heavy Metal Parking Lot is the cult 1986 film documenting the people in the parking lots outside Judas Priest concerts. The damn thing's been dubbed a million times, so we hope the DVD version is somewhat clear! [via Boing Boing]

Judas Priest fans? Please tell me they all get run over.
I heard they did a 20 years later Where Are They Now documentary. They tracked down the "star" (the guy who's on the cover) and he had no idea that he was in Heavy Metal Parking Lot or even what was Heavy Metal Parking Lot.
"What's your name?"
"Graham man! Like Graham of weed!"
Best. Documentary. Ever.
Actually, he says "Graham of dope, man!"
+ Watch video
Hell yeah!
+ Watch video
@KimGordonsPanties: Glen Burnie! MD pride, people!
I love this doc. And when paired with "Neil Diamond Parking Lot" and some boxed wine it makes for a lovely night in.
@adminslave:
woo, world's best parking lot!
And still " Unisex Disco Bathroom Stall" still languishes in the betaMax section of TwoBoots Video...
@mitchel_stevens: um.... kinda the point. You can like a place you grew up in and still know it sucked. Sigh.
I love the chick's little head-bob when she says "Party!"
I'm waiting for "Deathcab for Cutie Parking Lot".
Isn't the saying "another think coming?" As in, "if you think I'm gonna read one more article about Spitzer's whore, you've got another think coming?"
@Cheap Shot: Avril Lavine's will be called "Retarded Parking Lot."
@adminslave:
sorry. my DC-proper sense means i must attack all MD people in hopes that i can one day redeem my own city.
@mitchel_stevens: There are more fitting places to dislike. I currently live in CA which sucks so much more than DC or MD, and thinks it is super-awesome. And there is always New Jersey or WV.
@Malarcus: This is heavy mental we're talking about. You're thinking way, way too hard.
@kathotdog:
Neil Diamond Parking Lot is amazing!
Kudos to Mr. Krulik for keeping this franchise going and going and going...
I thought this was already out on a Krulik compilation DVD? Maybe it was VHS, I can't remember...anyway, Krulik did a "Harry Potter Parking Lot" in DC a few years ago, which was kind of cute and not too self-referential.
Is it cool or not cool to admit that I was in that video?
@ thegayrecluse: I'd say you gotta go with it. Loud and proud. Where you in Graham of Dope's entourage?
Oh, God, I have to buy this for everyone I know. I've been talking about it for yeeears!
"I'd jump his bewns."
Just one parking lot, the parking lot at the Cap Center, and I was there. I WAS THERE. And I was there the previous year for the Defenders of the Faith Tour also. The Metallian, baby! Rob Halford on a Harley riding through the mouth of the Metallian spewing fire and cum, doing an encore of "Hellbent for Leather" and "Jawbreaker." Was anyone else there? Does anyone else remember the burnouts on the floor of the show carrying the giant banner that read, "There's No Priest like the Old Prist [sic]", in six-foot high letters? Classic. I got high with a ten-year-old that day in the line to get in. (He passed it to me, in the crowd ahead of us, and what was I going to say, No?) Good times!
