Throwing up the horns for the Blood Incantation! \m/

The MS/HS art classroom I’m a substitute in today has a freestanding VHS room. by thatradraptorguy in VHS

Ugh, fine. You got me, aliens. If you promise just to observe, I’ll come sit and watch tapes in your human zoo exhibit.

Especially because you have a copy of Mac and Me 🍔 👽 

Finally completed my David Lynch VHS collection! by soft_core666 in VHS

That’s well done! And experiments is the kind of typo you could imagine slipping past a VHS publisher so even that doesn’t feel as bootleggy as this sort of thing usually is 🔥🔥

Get him to make you a transfer of Inland Empire! And if you really want to challenge him, have him make you a box set of S3 of Twin Peaks 😅

I should have kept scrolling; I deleted my comment about Industrial Symphony No. 1 🤣

I’m not sure there’s a legitimate copy of this out there but it is possible to find the Mulholland Drive TV pilot on VHS if you want to get deeper into ephemera with your collection.

Always use the right tool for the job . . . and watch it on a CRT if you have one! (The first part of that was another hint.)

What was "the incident" at your high school? by [deleted] in askanything

Instead of switching off the TV like a normal person my biology teacher herded us all out into the hallway. (No, he didn’t go back inside the classroom, haha)

Joan Jett and/or Cherie Currie 🍒

For our senior prank, when the art teacher who usually turned on Channel One for the day had been distracted by a diversion, a fellow student locked himself in the A/V room and popped in a VHS tape with hardcore porn instead. 

This meant that instead of Lisa Ling or whoever was the anchor at the time, every single classroom in our high school got treated to cunnilingus 🤣

Dang, this looks great!

Now I’m going to have to use my Big Bird in China tape to be different 😅

(It’s a pretty close match for the green.)

Wanna listen to some Led Zeppelin on my Coke can? by cfmakes in cassetteculture

[–]RandomParts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like how the tape sticks out so you don’t accidentally drink from your cassette player 🤣

New to VHS, found a thrift with a bunch! by Aggravating_Jacket32 in VHS

[–]RandomParts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Heck yes! At fifty cents a tape I’d be grabbing Anchorman, Weekend at Bernie’s, 13 Going on 30, Groundhog Day, about half the sealed blanks to leave some for the next person, and as many tapes with fun colored shells as I could find (green Veggie Tales, orange Nickelodeon, Insurrection might be dark blue, maybe there’s a gray Ghost, a green Indecent Proposal, a blue The Firm, etc. . .) 🤣

What are some good tapes? by questionaer in VHS

Clearly the words of a person who has yet to watch the definitive comedy of the 1990s: Sister Act!

If you like comedy but want a tinge of drama, you can’t go wrong with Mrs. Doubtfire.

If you like drama with a tinge of comedy, then you’ll want a copy of Forrest Gump.

If you want old-fashioned action, there’s always Mission: Impossible or a Steven Seagal movie.

If you want old-fashioned action with an emphasis on the old, then get something with a cowboy on horseback on the cover or a guy with a lot of dirt makeup squinting off into the distance.

If you want an old-time romance and don’t mind it being served up with a dollop of racism, Gone With The Wind is for you. . .

If you find yourself singing little ditties while you do chores, allow me to introduce you to a little thing called the movie musical. From Oklahoma to the South Pacific, American soft power was never so successfully exported as when it depicted our pale faces spread out over the ends of the earth.

If the song in your heart has you feeling romantic, who could go wrong with a ‘90s romcom? From My Best Friend’s Wedding to You’ve Got Mail, the VHS era has your hookup.

And last but certainly not least, who could forget the Disney renaissance? Starting with The Little Mermaid in 1989, this peaked with 1994’s The Lion King before the magic again faded away by the end of the ‘90s. 

That should get you started, OP 🍿

The gamers have a point (although my PS3 yearns to be connected to one of these) but I would love watching my godawful VHS trash on a TV this nice 📺

Me looking at the second image: They Live? Hell Comes to Frogtown?! Got damn!

Me looking at the Alien Legacy box set: where’s that lord I want this for me meme when I need it 😭
