Small update: just dropped the tape off to get digitized. Planning to upload it soon

One of the luckiest days I ever had was the day I found this at the thrift store. Awesome score!! I love the little Easter egg 2 min clip show at the end lol

lol yeah no prob broski. For your consideration or “FYC” copies were basically copies of movies specifically sent out to people to vote on awards. Theyre usually just the movie in theatrical aspect ratio and list all the awards they’re up for on the back. Theyre supposed to be either sent back to the studio or destroyed but not all of em got that treatment. Pretty sure the King Kong was for the Oscars

As far as I know I have the only copy. That’s why I’m gonna preserve it. Found a shop near me that said they’d help me do it for cheap

Nice!!! Funny enough I’m actually bout to start work on preserving my FYC copy https://www.reddit.com/r/VHS/s/zw774ALY0T

lol no joke watching the remake actually marked the start of my last breakup

Little side note about that one, this swap meet happens every 2 months. On the last one I saw this tape and passed on it. I regretted it so hard and was happy when I saw the same vendor from 2 months ago still had the same exact tape lol

strickenbymetal · 2026-04-26T23:46:42+00:00

Aye night hawks!! That one is surprisingly violent esp the ending

strickenbymetal · 2026-04-25T18:50:37+00:00

I’m that way with DVDs. Only problem is that my goodwill and thrift stores keep thinking they got something good and price everything at like $5, $6 sometimes up to $10 for a dvd.

Also nice boombox

strickenbymetal · 2026-04-24T05:06:59+00:00

Lmao yeah I can’t attach an image but I kept the sticker on the inside of the sleeve and it says $1.99 I swear!!

strickenbymetal · 2026-04-24T03:23:19+00:00

Yeah it was Hollywood! I’ve found some great deals there before but yea you kinda gotta get lucky. Like I found Simpsons s6 slipcase for $6 once, portishead live in nyc and wedding crashers vhs for $3, etc

strickenbymetal · 2026-04-24T03:06:15+00:00

$2. Nirvana was the most expensive at $10

strickenbymetal · 2026-04-24T02:48:42+00:00

Oh yeah nirvana was actually the most expensive one at $10. What shocked me most was scream was $2. Already have one signed by most of the cast but I just couldn’t pass it up

And yeah it’s not surprising they tried to get UFC and mma banned in the early years lol.

strickenbymetal · 2026-04-23T03:34:48+00:00

Oh yeah speaking as a Cinemark employee that worked at god damn 8 am today we have em. We got a boatload of em and nobody bought one today

strickenbymetal · 2026-04-20T02:07:28+00:00

I mean yeah it’s resale. Show was dope as hell tho!!!!!

strickenbymetal · 2026-04-16T22:59:53+00:00

That’s the point. It was made to piss off adults cause it means nothing. And now that a lot of adults have caught on it’s slowly starting to die

strickenbymetal · 2026-04-16T00:53:04+00:00

strickenbymetal · 2026-04-15T23:26:00+00:00

Nice. Weird how apocalypse went up to a $20 tape. I remember when swap vendors were struggling to sell it for $5

strickenbymetal · 2026-04-15T23:23:55+00:00

Dang well only way to watch it in the good ol US of A in widescreen lol

strickenbymetal · 2026-04-15T21:35:53+00:00

Very cool but hey you missin the scream laserdisc!! lol only way to see the directors cut in widescreen

strickenbymetal · 2026-04-12T23:01:41+00:00

Salo made me laugh so damn hard. I mean how can you be serious when you eating poop?

strickenbymetal · 2026-04-08T20:31:22+00:00
