Vhs findings

It came from Sweden or norway...it was a book series too I think, but the aribic countries have some surprisingly popular kids shows.

Even though french VHS covers for cartoons are terrible, arabic cartoon VHS tapes arent far behind

For example:

At least the drawer is better...
Also, this isin't how I remember The Magic School Bus:

The back of this is so fucking hilarious.

Not my VHS, but today on another forum I accidentally stumbled upon this video-of, all things, a 1991 road trip:

Interestingly, if you skip all the way to the very ending of this video, the recording cuts out and for some reason, the 1986 Walt Disney Home Video pops up, halfway through, plays for a couple seconds, then repeats for an additional second. The background music over this logo is, at first, a small part of "Someone Like You" by Van Morrison (carried on from the recording), then a strange sound, then finally the actual logo music. My best bet is that this was a factory error tape similar to the unusual It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown VHS also linked to on this thread's second page, but in the case of this WDHV tape it was recorded on a recordable VHS rather than the normal anti-overwriting tape.

I feel like talking about my VHS tapes.


The few that have read my guide on swapping tape shells will recognize these. As far as I know, these are the home video releases to own if you want to see Star Wars in its least edited forms. I wouldn't know as I still haven't seen any Star Wars movie in any form. Well, these are the re-releases, but I think I read there is no difference between these and the original VHS releases. I'm mostly bringing these up as I mentioned how bad my sleeve for The Empire Strikes Back looks in that guide, so here it is.


For $10 I got a bundle of Gamera tapes. Amongst them were these three: Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, Gamera 2: Attack of the Legion, and Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris. While the rest of the tapes in the bundle were standard US releases, these three have Japanese audio with English subtitles. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal. But based on the generic labels of 1 and 2 and the T-stamps on the sides of the tapes (usually found on home VHS tapes), I assume that these are bootlegs. But if they are bootlegs, they're at least high quality bootlegs. No distortion in the transfers, the clamshell inserts are done on quality paper, and the labels are nice and strong. In between the clamshells and tapes are my home-made slipsleeves, so they fit in my sheleves.


At least those tapes came with clamshells. I had to make custom slipsleeves for these two just so they'd have a home (in case you couldn't tell from the inkjet lines and the giant "VHSCOLLECTOR.COM" watermark). I got both of these for a dollar. A great deal considering the series lies in that same area as Silent Night, Deadly Night. It was bad/unpopular enough to have a scarce relase, but now that it's mainstream everybody with a copy is holding it for ransom regardless of whether or not their copy is worth anything.

Ninja the Protector. I'm going to be completely honest. I picked this up solely because it looks like something you'd see on The Cinema Snob. I have yet to watch it, but just look at it. Ninjas riding motorcycles with wings, one holding a crossbow. You know this is gonna be bad in one of many different ways. The case itself is strange, too. It feels like it's made of cheap rubber rather your typical disney-style box plastic.


These two have nothing in common. Don't bother trying to solve a nonexistant puzzle. I just didn't want to waste any more post space. You're in the Super Bowl, Charlie Brown isn't rare or special (or a spookyspaghetti). But, I'm sure many of you will be surprised to learn that there is a Charlie Brown special that has not nor will ever be released on a DVD or later format. This VHS tape is the only way to obtain this special, and it was sold exclusively through Shell gas stations. As you may have guessed, this special is about football. Despite the name, the Super Bowl plays no role. The special uses real NFL logos on their helmets, though, so any future releases would require permission from the NFL. I just thought that a Charlie Brown short not being mass-produced on all home media was interesting. As for the Snake People, I get a kick out of how generic this sleeve art is. It looks more like a heavy metal album than a VHS sleeve. On top of that, this was a Gemstone Entertainment release. It's practically ancient.


My promo copy of Full Moon Pictures' Demonic Toys. I love Full Moon Pictures' films. They're perfectly cheesey. I found this tape at a flea market along with a store advertisement tape for MTV's "I Want My MTV" VHS tape (as in the tape contains an ADVERTISEMENT to be played in-store for the "I Want My MTV" tape.) This is a full, complete copy of the film with the text 'This is a review copy - not for sale' periodically popping in and out. Neato.
