I just want to go back to when times were simpler and the line around the inside of the Blockbuster would stretch the interior perimeter of the store....

If you lived in the greater Northeastern United States in the '80s and '90s, Video King Superstore was most likely your first destination to rent the latest movies on VHS. The first thing you noticed walking into a Video King store was the smell of the complementary hot, buttered popcorn, a favorite of kids accompanying their parents. The rest of the store was pretty standard fare — wall-to-wall videos organized by category, a few toys and collectibles, and eventually, video game rentals. In the early 2000s, as video stores began to buckle under pressure from online video streaming, Video King cut their massive stores in half and dropped 'Superstore' from their name, but this was short-lived, with the chain ultimately closing up for good.

If you know, you know. Video rentals in the 90s in central IL were dominated by Family Video, and 2nd Cinema.

Johnny Rose once said that "you miss 100% of the tapes you don't play." That's the quote and slogan featured on this retro membership card for Rose Video. Notice that customers receive free popcorn with every rental. The last four digits in the store's phone number spell ROSE. The member number is a tribute to Moira's Rose's Garden.

Before there was Blockbuster, there was Ritz video. The best place for all your VHS needs.

A comedy variety show at Lyric Hyperion that celebrates all things movies and physical media. In the post-apocalyptic future, after the Streaming Wars, there is one beacon of hope: a lone brick-and-mortar video store...

Be kind, rewind! Kick it like it's Friday night and you just got a movie and videogame from Blockbuster.

The VHS (Video Home System) is a standard for consumer-level analog video recording on tape cassettes, invented in 1976 by the Victor Company of Japan (JVC).

Retro design typical of low-budget VHS and Betamax movies from the 80s video stores, featuring the raw and bold aesthetics of B and Z movies. The visual style evokes nostalgia from past decades, capturing the essence of a golden age of exploitation cinema.

If you're an '80s kid or perhaps just a VHS aficionado, you've probably seen the Vista rainbow film logo on one of the tapes you've watched. Based in New York City, Vista Home Video was a rather short-lived distributor that operated between 1985 and 1988, releasing about 20 titles during that time period. Notable releases include the horror titles Diary of the Dead, Howling III, and The Crazies.

Video Nostalgia 90s

Remembering the days of the independent video store!

In December 1977, George Atkinson spent approximately $3,000 to buy one Betamax and one VHS copy of each of the 50 available movie titles from Magnetic Video, which were then being sold to the public by direct mail. He announced the availability of the videos for rent in the local newspaper under the business name 'Video for Rent' along with a coupon for readers to fill out and mail in. Atkinson renamed his operation 'The Video Station' and opened what would be the first professionally managed video rental store in a 600 square foot storefront on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. In order to raise capital, Atkinson charged $50 for an annual membership and $100 for a lifetime, which provided the opportunity to rent the videos at a discount.

The perfect combination. I miss this place.

'The Video Dead', a 1987 horror film, centers on a mysterious television set that becomes a portal for the living dead to enter the real world. When a suburban family unwittingly acquires the haunted TV, they find themselves facing a relentless onslaught of undead horrors.

Nukie is a South African direct to video science-fiction film that was released in 1987. Largely considered an E.T. knockoff, the plot follows an alien named Nukie, who crash lands on Earth and seeks help from two children to reunite with his brother, Miko, who has been captured by the U.S. government. Nukie is considered one of the worst movies ever made, and had pretty limited distribution, resulting in somewhat of a cult following. An online auction for a graded copy of Nukie sold for $80,600, making it the most expensive VHS tape in history.

Travel back in time to the heady days of the 1980s when home video ruled all! Weekend nights began with a trip to the local video store to choose the evening entertainment, where home movie magic ruled all!

But first we have to hit the new releases section at Blockbuster.

Rewind that shit.

My gen x ex boyfriend had an impressive collection of old tech - VHS, Betamax, Lazar disc, CRT tvs. He sucks, but his collection didn't.

Cheap Trick the Blockbusters!
