The standard poster but I always liked it:
http://goregirl.files.wordpress.com/...es-of-hell.jpg I rented this one based on the video box cover when I was a kid. I was expecting something like Friday The 13th...boy was I ever wrong. It's now a running joke with me and I've grown to love it but I was pretty much like wtf? when I first saw it. http://horror.mdv.se/1971%20-%20Bloo...20(Poster).jpg Another I rented as a kid thinking it would be along the same lines. Again...way off, but again it's now a running joke between me and my buddies and we dig it out once in a while to laugh and drink some beers. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg |
ha...rented many movies off the poster art alone.

http://www.webstore.com/cache/cache_...6fd4b15jpg.gif I worked at a video store in my late teens and early 20's and this Predator 2 VHS cover always caught my eye. It works so well - especially considering how mediocre that movie is. I've always wanted a poster of it but I don't think they make it in poster form. There's a book I picked up off Amazon not too long ago called Portable Grindhouse: The Lost Art of the VHS Box which brought back so many great memories of browsing through the video rental store as a kid. It's all just nostalgia, but I miss those crappy VHS covers, the crappy VHS tapes with totally blown out colors and borderline-unwatchable dark/indoor scenes. As much as I love BD, every once in a while I have a hankering to watch a VHS of Street Trash or Intruder with the lights out and a big 'ole bucket of popcorn. |
