One of the things that really annoys about some of the DVD or BLU-RAY releases is the fact that they give away the monster on the cover. I don’t understand why they don’t pay that little extra to get the original art work. One of the worst offenders being the MGM MIDNIGHT MOVIES series, have you seen the cover for THE BEAST WITHIN?

Back in the 80’s I remember renting movies just based on the covers, which were great and with a lot of movies (just like in the 50’s) the cover art work was what initially got you interested, especially if you missed it while it was showing in the theater.

I saw PSYCHO 2 in the theater, but my initial interest in it wasn't the fact that it was a horror movie. I thought "Come on there's no way their gonna even come close to the original". But I figured I'd take the risk because I wanted to see MEG TILLY!!! Happily I really enjoyed the movie and am still a big fan.

I am a bit older, but yes i was a teen during the peek of VHS... a trip to the video store was something to be excited about. My first movies were actually JAWS and Halloween. And you couldn't just watch Halloween whenever you wanted - you had to wait til Halloween night - it was a major TV event every year to see it. VHS was a blast and back then i loved Gates of Hell, Mutilator, Chainsaw II and Friday part 3. Get the air popper going and have a blast with some awesome horror!

I was born in 88, close to the end of the 80's horror boom and can really attribute my love for the horror genre to my father and uncles who would watch these types of movies on tv and video constantly. From that point on I was hooked. I can remember going to stay at my grandmothers for holidays and summer and going to either videotime or albertsons and coming back with cartoon and horror film rentals.

Hey Wes, loved the video. Thanks for sharing your memories. Great idea for a video. Your words give me chills man, cause I can relate to EVERYTHING you said. I was born in '76, so I'm a little older than you. I saw my first horror film back in 1983 in the theater in 3D. It was Friday the 13th part 3. After that, I was hooked. You're so right; the 80's were a magical time to grow up and be a horror fan. The memories I have of going to the movies & video store as a kid with my dad are the best! :)
