I own that Freddy's Nightmares VHS - and Dream Demon coming to think of it.

I used to go to Car Boots looking for VHS until I ran out of storage space and it's a lot of fun and suprisingly addictive so I'm enjoying reading about your hunt. Somehow artwork always looked a bit better on VHS.

I'll post some pics when I get chance but here are some of my best finds:

American Nightmare
Blood Link
The Slime
(Vipco)
King Frat (Vipco Cult Classics), although I think I traded this with Pete
Machine Gun McCain pre-cert
The Black Panther
Three on a Meathook
(a European edition, Dutch I think)
Barfly (ex-rental)
Night Watch (Elizabeth Taylor)
Fists of Steel

... and a whole load more that are currently living in my loft. I'll dig them out and if there are any I can live without, will let you know. I know I have/had a Palace Edge of Sanity you'd be welcome to but have a feeling I chucked it away :doh:

that would be awesome sam, cheers!

im enjoying finding them even more than watching them to be honest and yeah the artwork is so much better, even more so when i get a big box vhs , just feels like i have something substantial in my hand.

a lot of people have thrown away VHS over the years, myself included :( i bet some real gems have gone to the tip too :doh: i used to own hundreds of VHS when i was living with my parents, so many that i had to build my Tv unit out of them :lol:

today i went to liverpool to meet pete and get some more VHS, this is my best day so far collecting :)

i meet pete at the train station to be greated with pete and two huge bags of tapes which we swapped over and i put in my little suitcase and backpack , they only just fitted :P and they were heavy!

after some searching around liverpool and a burger king :woot: we went into a a building that was filled with lots of small businesses selling all sorts, we spotted a small door backed into a corner that didn't really look like a shop more like an emergency exit, i tried the door and we walked into a small shop with 3 guys in there just chatting and they had quite a big bookcase full of VHS, after a few mins looking i got these for 50p each

apart from the blade runner, i got that from some cash converter type of place for 25p


had a great day with pete chatting about films and wandering around the town, after a while i got the train home and was so tempted to open my bags and search them to see what tapes i had got from pete but i doubt that i would have gotten them back in the bags, so i waited till i got home!

this is what i found!
