VHS HORROR TAPES - COLLECTING


I found these three VHS horror film tapes brand new at a local thrift shop for a buck each.   VHS horror tape collecting is all the craze now.   Visit your thrift shops, craigslist, garbage cans, grandparents attic, where ever, find the VHS horror tapes in original boxes and collect them.   Many horror films on VHS are becoming rare to find.  Some of them you cant find on dvd such as Linda Blair 1982 cult prison film CHAINED HEAT.   Many VHS films will be worth money in the future.  I have the original VHS tape of the film BEN - now a collectible. 

VHS horror films take me down memory lane back in 1983 when every single corner of New York City had a video store, and you would go inside the store and see displays of boxed VHS horror films than any other films behind glass door cabinet.  A number will be in front of the film box.  You went to the counter and asked the clerk if that number (vhs horror) was available.  Many times the film was not available...  The memory of VHS horror films behind glass shelves with paper magic marker numbers in front of the box and running home with the tapes in hand.  Inserting them inside the big JVC vhs player and discovering the great films from the best horror and cult filmmakers...

So, collect those rare horror films on VHS for either a trip down memory lane, for fun - hobby, or just collecting to sell in the future.   It will be well worth it...
