I miss video stores! I miss VHS!

Back in the day there were low-key movie stores everywhere and you could rent like six movies for five bucks. They had random deals on movies that they didn't think anybody would just pick up and watch, so you could check out all the really cool low-budget horror flicks you'd never heard of.

Given, they became somewhat impractical as DVD became standard and a lot of the business found it almost impossible to operate for a long time because people would just walk off with movies because... well, because they were a low-key movie store who wasn't about to do a damn thing about it and would probably be closed down in a few months.

But those were the days. I remember walking miles back and forth to the movie store every day because they had cheap VHS's.


The mom and pop video stores had the best horror selections. Hollywood and Blockbuster stocked up on all of the mainstream. I was a member of about 6 different mom and pop's back in the late 80's and early 90's renting all of the horror movies I could find.

There was a great video store that took over a large grocery store. They had a giant 2 row section of horror flicks...then Hollywood bought them out an it turned to crap.


Well if it makes you feel any better...Hollywood Video is now a thing of the past!?

Neighbors who visited and dropped by unlike now where most will text or email (living next door)

Neighbors that watched and watched out for your kids, without repercussions.

An honest day's pay for an honest day's work.

Ren and Stimpy; what a great and completly useless cartoon at the same time, kind of like Beavis and Butthead.
