Got about 20 tapes in the mail today, the artwork for The Asphyx really stood out, especially the back.

I'm rather fond of the sleaziness of the old VHS covers. Two I have on my shelf right now which fit as sleazy favorite covers are:

Doctor Butcher M.D. (perhaps one of the few times the cover is not as sleazy as the movie)

Return of the Zombies (really sleazy cover, but the movie is too)

99% of old films rereleased Artwork is rubbish in comparison to original.even a deccent artwork still doesnt excite me as much compared to the vhs yrs. i mean lets face it was the artwork to some films that grabbed our attention. some fantastic artwork from years ago. its like their heart or interest of creating good artwork isnt there.
like most ppl i got rid of my old vhs , still have some but wish i hadnt threw out what i had and kept them.. threads like this every now and again ppl put up pics of odd films that you totaly had forgot all about and there for threads like this are great and also helps you bring back old memories.
