when i was dragged forth on my mom's errands equally a little girl, i would go bored with the "waiting in line to pay" portion of the excursion, and if nosotros were at ann & hope or almacs, i would pare myself away to the VHS rental surface area and spend what felt like hours admittedly rapt earlier the mosaic-wall of movies i would probably never encounter, studying the encompass fine art and the taglines - never actually taking them off the shelf to discover what they were about, just visiting my favorites like we were old friends.
i was specially drawn to the horror department, because even as a little sprout, i had an appreciation for that winning combination of horror and sense of humour, and this was the 80's after all, a time when vanity and john stamos got top billing:
action heroes were not required to be shirtless and toned:
every other picture show was about a giant killer vehicle:
and all of the horror movie covers were hilarious:
so when this book came out, it seemed to be the perfect way to recapture that memory of awe and bewilderment and celebrate the cinematic triumphs of a bygone historic period.
which it generally did. information technology'due south not a perfect nostalgia for me; many of my favorites were absent-minded - seriously - no apr fool'south day??
and i didn't even recognize a lot of the ones included. what the hell is this one?
which, information technology must be noted, won an award for "all-time special furnishings" considering yowza
the book is cleaved into sections: activity, one-act, horror, kids, sci-fi, thriller, only i would dear to assist in the curation process for a second volume, one which focuses exclusively on horror, because everyone knows that's where the most fun is to be had.
i mean, come up on…
the comedy section of the book is the least interesting to me at present, and was the least interesting to me as a kid killing time. it's pretty much just boobies on parade, merely the tone was so different from the boobies on parade on the horror covers - these made boobies seem silly and cartoony
and since i was at a boobless age when these one-half-understood things made me shy, they held no interest for me.
i'thou erstwhile enough now to appreciate the gleeful middle finger to subtlety, just it's still nowhere near as highly-seasoned as this wheel of madness, with its still-exploitative but somehow less demeaning approach to sexuality
interestingly enough, the lines betwixt horror and comedy were farther blurred for me by covers such every bit these, filtered through my little-daughter brain:
monster in a toilet = funny
being spied on in the shower = scary
so, even though the book was not like visiting forgotten friends, it did innovate me to a lot of new ones that i might need to actually track down and view. because i need this in my life:
and in two years i'g gonna lookout this one to see how close information technology came to predicting the fuuuuutuuuure:
my estimate is - pretty damn shut
and THIS! a must come across!
fifty-fifty if it does expect similar a ripoff of the warriors
speaking of rip-offs, is this movie basically goonies?
and this ane:
this i makes some pretty bold claims for a movie NO One HAS Ever HEARD OF EVER
this is too one i must track down:
so much data on the dorsum
and look at these maniacs!! it'due south similar a high schoolhouse production of the thriller video
all the love in my heart for these covers.
and at present for a parade of taglines:
and my favorite:
this i is the most baffling:
i do Not know what! am i being obtuse?
some other gems:
does unconscious woman-toting not touch on weapon-accuracy?
do they hateful CANADA??
some of the synopses are likewise pure aureate:
y'all will be on the edge of your seat for ALL 88 minutes.
well, approximately.
so there is this ane, which is both besides much and not enough information:
and continues to entertain:
but once again what??
i love how honest some of these boxes are:
definitely for the kids. adults not and so much.
the book is not without its familiar faces, similar the gem i manage to mention in 43% of my reviews:
and some films i really ain on vhs, although in both cases, i prefer the cover i own to the one featured in the book:
mine is less sensationalist, but more accurate to the movie itself:
i also own this one:
my cover is improve:
but that still on the back of the book-featured back embrace is pretty rad:
both are fine movies you should watch for yourselves, along with blood of heroes, which i also own on VHS.
while i'm bragging near my splendid VHS collection, i am going to have the opportunity to bear witness this off, a fillum shamefully neglected by this book:
if it's not apparent, there is a layer of liquid blood beneath the plastic here, that you lot can move around in a about satisfying way with your fingie:
yous need to see this ane. it'south GOLD.
one of the all-time things near this volume is its size and shape, shown here with maggie for scale
it makes her ferocious!
and and so affrighted
all in all a actually fun volume, fifty-fifty if it didn't have the strictly-horror focus i craved. thank god for pinterest!!

VHS Video Cover Fine art: 1980s to Early 1990s is a drove of box art from VHS tapes.Not long ago, my wife and I watched Please Rewind, a documentary about the rise and autumn of VHS and the underground civilisation of VHS collectors and was overcome by feelings of nostalgia. Days after that, this popped up as one of my recommendations on Amazon and I splurged.
Every bit the title indicates, this is a coffee tabular array book of VHS encompass art, two boxes per page. Most of them are for b-movies, designed to grab the rubes past their resemblance to the fine art of popular movie boxes. This book screams 1980s from cover to cover.
Some of the box art took me back to days of riding downwardly to the video store and having about five minutes to pick something out before Dad was gear up to head back dwelling. I hadn't thought of Globe Star Voyager or Misfits of Science in years. Others reminded me that movies like Bikini Carwash Visitor and Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Basin-O-Rama had life outside of late night on Showtime.
The original comprehend art of Evil Dead and Return of the Living Dead were a couple of my favorites, since they looked like none of the ten-15 versions I'd seen earlier. Other boxes merely reminded me how dumb 80s action movies were.
While I constitute the book charming for nostalgic reasons, there's actually not much to information technology. Apart from two forewords, there's not much in the fashion of wordage. I call up some artist profiles would have been nice. Possibly I'm just being a curmudgeon since Paperbacks from Hell: The Twisted History of '70s and '80s Horror Fiction was so awesome and this one suffers by comparison.
All things considered, I'll exist keeping VHS Video Cover Art on my coffee tabular array as long as information technology can conduct all the weight. Three out of five stars.

I retrieve anyone growing up in the 80s volition love this book. Well if you are a movie fan of course, only who isn't? Information technology was quite nice to browse through the pages and wait at all the wonderful (and sometimes quite weird) covers. Mostly are these movies I accept never seen, hell mostly never heard of and I idea I was a moving picture vitrify. But information technology was not bad to read this book and I got a flake cornball. Simply remember it wasn't many years ago I had a drove of VHS now I just accept a couple left...Anyway, it was a nice book, perfect if you are a moving-picture show buff that likes former movies.
Here are some covers from the book, I will just pick some random ones. I did have a lot of screencaps and I can't mail service them all...:P
I have actually seen The Survivor and Fire and Ice...lol
3.5 stars

I had a adept time reading this eccentric coffee tabular array book. movies and all the paraphernalia, from a sociological spectrum are a great info provider of the ethos, everyday life, idiosyncrasies then on of the time they were filmed.

The book is devided in the following categories:

Comedy
Horror
Kids
Sci-fI
Thrillers
THOUGHTS Near THE BOOK
- The intro was very skilful.

Overall, fun for kicks and giggles. A very nice conversation slice for those obsessed with this unique point in history.

I remember what I've ever loved is the potential for stories on every VHS encompass. The film itself might really suck, but a expert encompass volition make you imagine all the ways information technology might be incredible. My sister and I used to browse the horror shelf long before our parents let us rent any, terrifying ourselves with stories of what might happen in those flicks. The marketing worked exactly as it was supposed to: a creepy comprehend would stand out enough to option upwardly and plough over, and the spooky stills from the back would freak usa out a footling more. The shelves in VHS Cover Art are from that very era of '80s and early '90s when the embrace artform really peaked, and includes a lot of videos I retrieve. If I have whatsoever complaint, it's that I wish the volume was longer. This is a really fun book to flip through if you e'er loved the video shop.

(I received a free re-create of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.)Video cover art is a unique and largely lost artform representing a period of unabashed creativity during the video rental nail of the 1980s to early on 1990s. The art explodes with a succulent, indulgent blend of pattern, illustration, typography, and hilarious copywriting. Written and curated by Tom "The Dude Designs" Hodge, affiche artist extraordinaire and VHS obsessive, with a foreword by Mondo's Juston Ishmael, this collection contains over 240 full-scale, consummate video sleeves in the genres of activity, comedy, horror, kids, sci-fi, and thriller films. It'due south a world of mustached, muscled men, buxom beauties, big explosions, phallic guns, and nightmare-inducing monsters. From the sublime to the ridiculous, some are incredible works of art, some are insane, and some capture the tone of the films better than the films themselves. All are amazing and inspiring works of art that captivate the imagination. It'south like stepping back in time into your local video shop!
Video covers - there accept been a fair share of goodies and baddies over the years (this volume focuses on the 80s and early on 90s) merely, for the nearly office, nosotros readily identify the theme of a film by the cover on the video box. Screaming girl = horror picture show. Muscled guy holding a massive gun = action film. Piffling green men = science fiction moving-picture show...and and then on. And this book has all of those...and so much more.
The book is broken up into a few categories of flick: Action, Comedy, Horror, Kids, Sci-Fi, and Thrillers. A lot of the classic films are here: Teen Wolf, Robocop, The Garbage Pail Kids. Some covers instantly recognisable. The art sticks in our minds for dissimilar reasons - but nosotros know that they are memorable for more than than but the movie (in some cases, the films are forgettable.)
At that place were a lot of films that I didn't recognise - and, judging past the covers, I think I may be glad for that. There are some very well designed covers that instantly draw the eye and make me think it could exist a film worth checking out - and there are some that are pretty bad and I know that I don't really wanna take hold of up with those detail movies!!
I think this would make a great coffee table conversation piece - there are some images that may scar young children for life (haha!) but, on the whole, if you were a teenager in the 80s, this volition exist like a walk downward memory lane (or, in some cases, a run downward a dark alley with a shadowy figure chasing you with a knife!!)
Recommended!!

This was the heyday of the video store, and I was working out of Los Angeles. Forth with big films like Elevation Gun and Cobra, I got to sell such gems as Banzai Runner! and Carmine Heat (not the Schwarzenegger film, although I sold that one likewise). For independent B motion picture studios, the only manner to compete was through outrageous art. In some cases, the art was better than the movie. This book is a gallery of covers from that era. The focus is on lesser known films, just I recognized quite a few. With each total encompass, the release year, studio and artist is given, where the creative person is known.
This is certainly niche art. At that place are lots of jutting biceps, explosions, big hair bikini girls and mirrored sunglasses. This is likely the kind of thing you'd find being sold as art at a gas station, but it served it's purpose. In a world of so many choices, sometimes you could but sell something based on cover art that had some appeal. This book brought back lots of memories of tardily nights watching a lot of actually bad movies. It fabricated me smile.

We used to rent movies all the time, and there was a Blockbuster (I remember it was Blockbuster) within walking distance of our house. Sadly, it eventually became something else, which then became a Baja Fresh, and which is now Pepe'southward Tacos. Some highlights from my movie-renting days include Throw Momma from the Train, random anime, American Gothic, and Sleepaway Army camp (that concluding shot haunts me TO THIS Mean solar day).This was a fun little volume. I have seen literally none of the movies featured within, however, though I still enjoyed looking at the covers and reading the tag lines. The kids' movies department was all over the damn place. Hardly any of them seemed like something a kid would spotter, but then I remembered my four-year-old was freakin' fascinated by Tremors (I'thousand not a terrible parent, I swear).
Some of my favorite movies shown in the book:
Bloodsucking Pharaohs in Pittsburgh (sounds, erm, interesting)
Sour Grapes: Beer sales are rise, the drinking age is dropping and all America's DRUNK! (featuring a scantily woman holding a beer and a big donkey gun, with a beer-drinking babe strapped on her back)
Aerobicide: This workout'll kill you! (death by aerobics. Nice)
Berserker (The Nordic Curse) (well this really sounds astonishing and I'm going to look it up)
Heartbeeps: An electrical love story (ummmm ADORABLE)

Some of information technology'south corking, some of it'due south non great, merely information technology's really fun, some of it'southward okay, and then... some of it's awful. And there's really no reason to have awful fine art in a book celebrating the bombastic art of 80s VHS covers. Sure, peradventure a few for i reason or another, only at that place are numerous covers that are simply horrendous and I can't believe they couldn't have establish meliorate covers somewhere else.
The book is divided into genres: action, comedy, horror, kids, sci-fi, thriller and every bit I paged through information technology I thought: No 1 is ownership this book for the Comedy section. I recall it safe to say that the majority of people buying it are exclusively interested in the horror/SF/F section though the action fits right in also. I was surprised the Kids section was as fun as it was, just there'south a lot of SF/F in there. But I was surprised that some of the worst art was in the thriller section. At that place were a slew of actually non-expert covers that looked terrible. I but mention this because I want this book to be the best it can be and I can't believe they couldn't find better.
Despite these detriments, information technology's a beautifully designed book and one I've enjoyed flipping through for most of the yr. I'll relish leaving it out for guests to peruse when the pandemic is over and I over again take guests!

I'm not the biggest fan of Tom 'The Dude Designs' Hodge'south work on posters – the bubbly, neon '80s stuff has e'er felt far too busy to me. He's basically the antonym to Drew Struzan. Struzan's work is clean, uncluttered, and offers upwards only plenty to stir your involvement, whereas I've always felt that Hodge's art tries to fit the entire plot to the movie within a one-sheet'southward 27×40 dimensions.That said: the work from which Hodge draws his inspiration shows that the creative person has deep sense of taste. His new book for Schiffer Publishing, VHS Video Cover Art, is a treasure trove of phenomenal and astonishing VHS cover art from the '80s and early on '90s. These painted covers are what drew so many of us into the stranger sections of the video store every bit kids. Every bit then many documentarians have pointed out, VHS covers needed something to brand them stand out, and those covers were a prime number mode of maximizing their appeal on the video shop shelf.
What makes this book interesting is that information technology'due south a collection of VHS art from Britain releases, meaning that while some of the titles might exist familiar to Americans, the covers are totally different. There'southward a lot of work past the likes of Graham Humphreys, whose work is bonkers in terms of quality and item, and only stands to exist the stick past which all of the other art is measured.
Given that so many of these VHS cassettes had artwork with bad perspective, strange homages to movies to which they weren't at all related, and just perplexing choices overall (for case, I cannot believe that so many sex comedies featured nudity on the covers), this is the sort of book over which you can repeatedly pore.
Given that these aren't just the covers, only the entire VHS box, in addition to admiring the art, you lot tin can admire the way some copywriter sums upwardly a flick in merely a short paragraph. Some are expressionless on the money, while others are out-and-out lies – a lesson many of us learned the hard manner. It's smashing that all this text is included, considering otherwise, you'd merely be staring at images with little to no context for them, aside from Justin Ishmael's introduction and Hodge's opening reminisces.
A big hand must go to Hodge for the way in which the book is organized. While the titles are bundled alphabetically, it's done so under a series of categories, making VHS Video Cover Fine art the coffee table equivalent of a trip dorsum in fourth dimension. Y'all want to wander the horror section? Let's try and cull between The Evil Dead and Annihilator.
Also, you starting time to notice certain trends. There are quite a few images which await an atrocious lot like other films. I know that Enforcer II isn't related to Cobra at all – nor does the star wait anything similar Sly Stallone – but damned if you wouldn't have rented the film if y'all liked Cobra. Like things occur when you have facing pages showing the career trajectory of stars. Linda Blair in both Vicious Streets and Savage Island? Obviously, she's found a trend.
In the end, this is a wonderful collection, showcasing these VHS boxes just as i would take found them in the Britain video shops during their heyday. For the connoisseur, at that place'south a lot into which you can delve, recollecting over your youth. For the novice, there are quite a few films of which y'all've probable never heard, and a definite starting signal for obscurities over which to obsess and search.

VHS Video Cover Fine art is a wonderful hard cover, total color book that reprints nearly 250 (!) covers from front side and back of his accented favorite tapes. He combed through massive vhs collections in the United kingdom to bring us the best, worst, and funkiest covers he could unearth. This is as shut as nosotros are e'er going to get to walking through the vintage halls of an old mom & pop video store aside from buying the whole damn store itself. The book contains the artist if it'south known and that's about it. There is no commentary or reviews or anything else to clutter it up. Y'all only open up information technology up and rub your eyeballs all over the funky covers and wonder if the movies evangelize what the posters offering, just similar in the practiced former days. Sure nosotros grabbed bon-i-fide stinkers only there was gold sprinkled through those shelves too. Now you can have the fun of looking at the covers whenever you lot want without really having to sit down through the stinkers.
The pictures are loftier resolution, full colour, and damn almost bodily size. In that location'south no weird "arty" filters put on them, no special lighting or text. You go pure raw vhs embrace fine art the fashion information technology was intended to exist seen. This could take been a wank fest of the curator putting his own stamp on every piece merely instead he treats each cover like the piece of art that it is. Living in the states in that location are several covers that I've never seen before for films that I have actually checked out so that's pretty groovy too. There'due south no way I would always get to come across these specific versions of the covers unless I hopped on a plane and broke into his house. Information technology'southward interesting to note that the highly regulated video laws (hullo video nasties!) in the Uk even so allowed a load of nudity to be on normal covers. That would never fly in the complimentary-est nation in the world. Nipples are a big no-no here. I would beloved to see future editions based on state of origin. UsaA., Japan, and Italy would all be very awesome to ain.
If you honey VHS Cover Art, you'll love this book. It's a elementary as that. It's fun to look at and show your friends. Information technology makes for a cracking coffee table book and conversation starter. Get your nostalgic fix and give the covers a re-appraisement. Some of them are actually very practiced. Others are truly terrible. You lot be the judge.

VHS: Video Comprehend Ar
For those of united states of america born in the 70'due south, the VHS record was the go-to method for watching movies throughout the last part of the 70's and all of the eighty'due south and 90's. In fact, even after the release of the DVD, there were many die-hard fans of the VHS tape that took longer to catechumen - I may or may not have been one of those people...considering I have a VHS player and a tote full of VHS tapes that I just tin't function with packed away with the collectibles that make up the story of my life.VHS: Video Encompass Art is available in a hardcover format in full color. For vintage art lovers (did I really simply identify the VHS tape equally vintage??!!), this hardcover novel is very much appropriate as a coffee table volume. Still, as I went along through the e-volume I was provided for review, I couldn't help but discover the risque covers that were very much reminiscent of the lxxx'south/90'southward movies.
The book contains separate genres including action, comedy, horror, kids, sci-fi, and thriller. I was born in the mid-1970's, the kickoff twelvemonth the VHS was available from JVC (co-ordinate to Wikipedia, anyway). As such, many of the movies offered up in this collection were not ones that I recognized, watched, or had ever fifty-fifty heard of before. I've only seen a handful of the movies listed and probably merely recognized the titles of about half of them. This is why MY rating would only exist 3 stars. What was provided within the covers wasn't really anything that engaged me or entertained me. Yes, the walk down memory lane was nostalgic in that you just don't see VHS tapes that often anymore, but I would need to experience more than than nostalgia to purchase a book of this type. Maybe if I related to more of the movies presented inside my opinion would exist different.
In terms of quality, quantity, and entertainment value for the die-difficult picture collectible fan, this book is an amazing piece of work. The ability to have pulled all of these covers together into one novel is superb and extraordinary. As such, I give this book 5 stars. For the correct folks, this will exist a must-take addition to their library, movie memorabilia, or other collection(south).

As someone who was born in 1982, I expected to recognize more titles than I did. I vividly remember walking the aisles of the local video stores (Video Village comes to mind immediately), and looking at the covers.

Annoyingly, I tin can't remember the names of some of the more disturbing movies I saw back and then, all B movies that were and then odd and occasionally scary and sexual. Just weird, but always fun.
After looking at these titles, I wish to god I could get my hands on them. Because they're from the aforementioned ilk, and they all await and so insane and so fun.
The fine art work is just fun. I would love to have this book on my hypothetical coffee table, for guests to practise a double take, open, and stare in shock and awe.
The further I got in the book, the more disappointed I was not to recognize titles. The Invisible Kid. Troll. The Garbage Pail Kids. (whee!)
And so I turned a page, and in that location it was.
The Legend of Billie Jean.
Nail. Washed.
Fantastic fun for anyone who grew up in the 80's.
