I was 13 when it came out, watched the doc they made for the movie so already knew the background of the witch and children plus rustin par. I 100% thought it was real for about a year or two. It scared the crap outta me. I love every way they filmed it….the cameras they used, no hollywood sound effects, zero jump scares (which isn’t horror) and the 2016 Blair witch was jump scare infested. Also like how they filmed it in the fall…makes it look better. The 2016 movie they’re walking on a trail with like mulch on it….looked so fake and all the green made it less scary. I’m the one who pitched the plot to Artisan for the 2016 movie. Pitched to have a family member and friends go out looking for one of the three from first movie. But didn’t add that it would stay dark or have 10,000 jump scares. Actors were horrible in the last movie also.

I have a couple thousand movies on VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray and 4K. If it's something I have nostalgia for from the old video rental store days, I have to have it on VHS and I watch it on a CRT. The art is also usually way cooler and displays great like you said. And if it's a favorite, then I also usually get the Blu-Ray or 4K because I like to have the option to watch it on my home theater setup with amazing picture and sound. Horror is interesting because some tapes are very expensive and in those cases a Blu-Ray or 4K just makes more sense. It's all good and I love collecting physical media! The biggest problem is always needing to find more space for your growing collection.

If I'm going to go this route I'd rather just get DVDs instead because I won't have to get a VHS player and an HDMI adapter. Also don't want to rewind before putting it away.

Damn bro way to knock out a bunch of grails in one fell swoop!

Dude! I’m also a teacher and I’m a union leader at my school. I live in Hawaii. I’m originally from Jersey. It’s cool to connect with other fellow teachers who are also horror fans.

Wow the gate 2 shipped fast they told me a week lol enjoy ! Love the artwork on that one. Great haul on here too.

So...Your 3 reasons are 1)price 2)availability 3)box ? Kinda underwhelming. You could say something more substantial like: fullscreen aspect feels more authentic for 80s horror, or that blurriness and lack of detail makes special effects look less fake.

Hello there good video, what film is on the right of you with mouth open on front cover?

I'll say this, there's a lot of horror films that have a certain appeal when it comes to VHS, and the top of the list is the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, to me it adds to how creepy that film is, and I feel the same way about Halloween and pretty much all films from the 80s, but I also appreciate having a surpirrior disc option with 4K if I'm in the mood to watch such a film, and yes, of course, it is amazing seeing these films in 4K because most of the time, they look so gorgeous but my main reason is because some of these films are very expensive to try to track down on VHS that I don't always like pulling them off the shelf out of risking any kind of mishap. Dont get me wrong, I do watch my expensive tapes, but it is nice having a good disk to pop in when I get the itch.

I almost bought this on eBay the other day lol. Trying to hold out for a 4k set though. I’ve only seen the first one😱.

So many sick pick ups dude. The majority of those are insanely clean! S Tier haul!

Huge fan of Sammy’s earlier albums 😂

I need to check this one out. Probably going to try and grab that bluray!

First ❤

I was 31 when this movie came out and we got stuck in the second row I felt nauseous and my neck was killing me because it was nearly sold out

Very cool! 🤘🏻

Man those are so sick! I need to quit sleeping on those custom tapes.

That cover art is beyond amazing! Will definitely need to check out more from Death by VHS...

Lots of great movies from 99 in that list man lol

I hope this gets a North American release or comes out to stream

Your list of "shitty" 1999 horror sure had a lot of great movies in it.

Man, you stated thst you were unsure if they were even original releases, is not a good thing when spending on ebay for tapes. Friday the 13th has a few different releases and it's important to know which ones are what. For example: part 1 and part 2 have 2 different early releases, being that the original first releases of them are in gatefold cases(standard slipcase sized, but with a front cover flap that opens up to take the tape out) and the second release (still early so say 81 or 82) being a standard slipcase. Then they were released again in 1988, then again in the 90s and those are identified with the red gateway logo on the back of the case, it's hard telling which releases you have because you didn't show the backs of the tapes very well but the 1988 releases have a barcode on one of the spines and tape label will be dated 1988, as the original releases don't have the barcode. I'd say over all, 200 was a little high, especially if you have a mixed bag of different releases but unfortunately that's the name of the game, and part of learning the hobby, if you're happy that's cool but be careful about getting bamboozled, it can happen very easy with collecting tapes off ebay.

So many thoughts! I love all the picks guys!! Krampus is definitely my favorite Christmas movie it is sooo good & such a vibe ( low key agree it’s better than Trick r Treat although I love that one sm too ) they’re also remaking idle hands which makes me so sad even though Finn Wolfhard is writing it I’m still super apprehensive because that one is such a classic!!

Krampus was a great pick for the season. Nothing gets me more in the mood. May have to throw that one on soon!

I’m so jealous of this collection of F13 tapes you got! I need to get the rest. That price is fair. It’s nice getting a complete collection in one shot. Jason Takes Manhattan is my favorite Friday film hands down.

Heather's notebook was on the website they created in connection with the movie. While it's no longer online, that website was as much about how to make a website that tied to the movie as anything being done today.

I'm an absolute GenX babe. My roommate and I lived near an independent theater that was actually failing at the time. We were cool 20 something baristas and clubbers. The theater in question was on a main thoroughfare in the "arts corridor" until the bridge project that shut that entire block down. Along came this little independent film with it's ingenious marketing campaign. This dying niche theater in Baltimore was the only place showing it in town. The dying restaurants and bars around it were suddenly inundated by tourists who wanted some tapas. The complete closure of the main corridor to vehicle traffic became an absolute boon to the businesses that had been starving as it was a pedestrian paradise. The theater completely renovated. Instead of running midnight shows of German expressionism to a few random art students it's now a beautiful showplace. Long story short, Blair Witch ripples out in ways many people don't even consider.

sold out damn it (as I post this, which is just as I first watch this which is where I first hear about it).

I was 29 when it came out; I had seen the TV ads months in advance and the Sci Fi 'documentary' "Curse of the Blair Witch" about two weeks before it came out and was totally fished in and believed it was real. I saw it opening day. The theater was packed...there were even people sitting on the floor in front of the screen. I imagine the fire marshal loved that. It was one of the best theater experiences I've had. People were gasping, cringing, shrieking and breathing hard. I watch it every year at Halloween. I'd like this release, but it seems to be expensive and that may put the kaibosh on that.

I love this movie. I think it was pretty creative of these college students to think up this documentary style horror movie.

That film is not even suspenseful. I'm still annoyed that i paid to see that film.

fyi an upcoming hardcover book you might want to pick up is - Videotapes From Hell: A Visual History of Cult, Collectible, and Crazy Video Covers. Including a foreword from beloved cult director Joe Dante! Out in January was supposed to have been out in October but got pushed now until January looks like. I preordered this back in April lol.

Watched the 2 1/2 hour documentary today was really good but disappointed no interviews with the actors. Watched the Festival Cut it’s only a few minutes longer but cool they had different cuts available. Hopefully these cuts make it to USA releases so others can see this instead of being region locked. Great limited set glad I picked it up.

Lots of sick tapes in that haul bro!🔥

Hell yeah dude glad they all came to you in the condition they shipped lol. Don’t worry I’ll keep an eye out for more vhs for ya! 😎

The Terminator, Alien, and Halloween. I do like Killer Klowns, though I haven't seen it for years.

Which of the four have you watched most??

I had bad fomo with this lol I ordered one from orbit last night. Can’t wait to check this out! Also, May is so good!

Whenever I really want time to fly by while on an 8 hour stint at work, I immediately pull up the V/H/S movies. :)

I have a lot of movies that I go back to: Friday, Nightmare, and Halloween entire franchises; Child’s Play 1-2, Texas Chainsaw 1974, Night of the Living Dead 1968, Evil Dead original trilogy, Witchboard.

Dude I couldn’t agree more with your picks! Those are all so re watchable. You couldn’t be more right about the mindless watching on those. All of them are so fun! Mine is obviously fright night from the sheer enjoyment I get out of watching that one.

Always a blast man! I will continue to buy used whenever I come across deals!

The Haunting is so good 👏🖤

Sick bro. I’ll be there on the 30th

Sick pick ups! I want to get those Carnosaur tapes!

I need to snag this set. I only have the scream factory release of the first one. I’ve also never seen the second or third. Sick set!

My son loved the Goodebump books . I love both the Goosebumps movies 👌👌
