| 2895 | Article | ExhumeOurIdols | When I was younger, my mom used to take me there to Blockbuster when the store was still open and it was a much more fun experience just getting to see those movies. Sadly online took over, but thankfully, there is still a video store I recently went to that had tons of movies, especially on VHS. Just have to keep digging for the gold. | Oct 14, 2015 |  | |
| 2902 | Article | Vaporman87 | @Exhume: At least some Mom and Pop stores are keeping the experience alive, at least to a certain extent. | Timewarp: Blockbuster Video 1996 | Oct 14, 2015 | |

| 1350 | Article | Vaporman87 | I can recall the hours upon hours I spent collecting the images for the VHS Covers section of the site from VHS Wasteland (with the owner's permission, mind you) and having to sort out the really gruesome images from those that could safely be viewed here. I purposefully left out the horror section because they were just so horrific, some of them. That is a testament to the effectiveness of the VHS cover. As you said, you had only a few ways to attract a customer outside of giant ad campaigns and being viewed on thousands of movie screens. The thing is, after so many times renting that eye-catching film with the great VHS cover and being sorely disappointed with the actual film, you start to catch on. But apparently that didn't stop others from making the same mistake, because the market was FLOODED with cheap direct to video movies for SO LONG! But I really feel like the VHS cover was an art form unto itself. A really great cover could be all the difference between losing your hat or scoring big. | The Lost Art of VHS Boxes | Oct 01, 2014 | |
| 1352 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Pretty unique selections here. So are these box art examples from Greek releases? Is that why I've never seen this wrap-around style of VHS art before? I feel like trips to the video store would have been even cooler if the back of the box wasn't just text and 2-3 small photos, but part of a complete mural. | The Lost Art of VHS Boxes | Oct 01, 2014 | |
| 1353 | Article | Vaporman87 | Your right. The wrap around style is sweet. Not something you saw an awful lot of back in the day. | The Lost Art of VHS Boxes | Oct 01, 2014 | |
| 1354 | Article | jkatz | @Hoju Koolander I don't think the wraparound style was exclusively Greek. I can't think of any examples atm but I'm positive it's been done in the states too. Also, didn't know swearing was discouraged here. I'll try to tone it down next time. | The Lost Art of VHS Boxes | Oct 01, 2014 | |
| 1355 | Article | Vaporman87 | It's cool jkatz. I usually leave enough there so that it's obvious what the author wrote, but also keep it friendly to those who don't care for it. | The Lost Art of VHS Boxes | Oct 01, 2014 | |
