Haven't owned a VCR in a while and I only have some VHS tapes lying around from when I was younger. Won't ever collect 'em, too bulky.

My local record swap has the whole Nightmare on Elm St VHS set for like 15 bucks. The Box set. Looks so fucking cool I almost bought it without having a VHS player.

Sometime I'll have to go back to that thrift store and buy some more old VHS tapes. I swear horror movies VHS tapes had the best scary artwork on the front cover.

But also I see tons of James Bond movies for VHS at the store also. They're so dull and boring to look at especially the Die Another Day VHS front cover.

God I wish I had The Howling II for VHS right now along with Once Bitten

Some of the art featured on the VHS covers alone are what make them worth buying.
I have a neat copy of Night of the Living Dead on VHS, released on...Old Time Classics...something like that. Just wish it was one of the hard cases.

Ooooh I would love to find a copy of the entity around. I have been scouring pawn shops for rare films lately but so far nothing.

I buy horror on VHS all the time. About 1/4 of my collection is VHS.

The stuff is cheap, and you can usually find them a buck a flick at most pawn shops. May not be as good as the DVD quality, but I'll settle. I love tapes.

I have resorted to buying/reselling to support myself now, so anything on VHS that is worthy is snatched up and sold at a fair price.

No, not since I gave away our VHS player to a 5 yr old kid who's family couldn't afford a dvd player. I only gave away our Disney and family movies though, and kept all my horror ones.
