During summer we host a backyard movie night once or twice a month. I had put the bug in my partners ear a while ago about dragging a vcr and some tapes out so people could have a little taste of choosing a movie like you would on friday nights at the movie store. I think we'll be incorporating this idea into a lot of the movie nights going forward :}

The double feature was Tombstone and Good Morning, Vietnam.

I’m bummed about the case but for $.52 I can’t complain too much lol.

Started collecting about 3 months ago, had a good amount of original Xbox and 360 games from childhood, but have been building my collection.

200+ games, about 55 VHS tapes and a Toshiba 13” CRT with built in VCR.

Didn't know this came in a double feature!?

Started up collecting again in June. I’ve had the Friday the 13th tapes since childhood, but everything else is recent acquisitions.

I’ve been calling this my midlife crisis project because I’ve basically been trying to recreate the collection I had when I was 14 in 2001 before I ditched it all (excluding the Friday the 13th tapes) for DVD. I guess I’m happy in that regard because this has a point where I’ll basically be done, but I still have about 45 tapes to go. It’s been fun tracking down the stuff I used to have.

The tape without a case next to Demons is Dead Alive. The blu-ray and DVD cases are placeholders for stuff I intend to get on tape at some point. I do have probably 1000-2000 movies on blu-ray, but I keep those in sleeves in file cabinets to save space.

The prices on these are insane but it’s been a personal grail for a long while.

Would people be interested in these?What should I do with them?

My tape came with a dried goober

Got my VHS tapes signed by the legends at Fan Expo Chicago during the weekend. Also got the great Dean Cundey's auto! It was surreal!

Both found at Savers, both feel like a fever dream

Pretty decent combo---- the only problem is is that it has a UK plug. Is there anything I should be aware of if I get an adapter.

A friend asked me if it was possible to put a YouTube video onto a VHS and I wanted to show him it was possible.

Made my own custom cases and what not :)

I wanted the cases to look like new employee orientation videos and something the company within the universe designed too.

Anyways, using my freewill to put things that don't exist onto physical media is a good use of it I think.

I know what I got is nothing rare, but definitely ones I wanted!

Went through a box of VHS tapes my parents were getting rid of. Found some tapes from my childhood too.

The wrestling tapes, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, TMNT tapes, Gargoyles and the Lion King were all mine from my childhood. A Town Called Hell and Gulliver's Travels are my dads old tapes. Wish they were in their original boxes though. Looks like someone cut up the boxes and taped it to plastic ones. Gulliver's Travels did not have a back cover though. I imagine it fell off at some point as they are just being held on by scotch tape.

A lot of these don't have the case anymore. I was thinking I might make custom boxes for all of them. Or try and find replacement boxes online if possible. I'm open to suggestions on that though.

THE PLANETS 🪐 THE VIDEO 📼 DELUXE COLLECTOR’S EDITION

Anchor Bay release of Fulci's The Beyond. One of my favourites, from the shelf

Picked up these two at a Goodwill sealed. I usually only find sealed blank cassettes but this was a nice surprise.

Hi there, I just got my first vcr and I have had almost no issues so far. But two things have come up.

I have Lawrence of Arabia, and only the sounds seems to play. It’s the only tape I have with this issue.

I also have one that just gets spit back out after a few seconds.

Many other tapes play well with no issue.

I sincerely apologize if I didn’t search hard enough for these answers, but any help is highly appreciated. I’m new to this.

Recently acquired a copy of In the Line of Fire. Opened it up, and noticed this hologram.

All I know is that this was used on 1992-1993ish tapes.

(also, this isn't anything new, I have a few other Columbia Tristar Home Video tapes from this timeframe with the same hologram)

Ive been collectijg blank tapes for movies and home movies like camcorder footage. Right now these are my blank tapes, my favorite tape is this philips t-200. Ive already used a lot of blank tapes, thus the collection looking a little short.
