I just recently found a bunch of my old recorded vhs tapes. It’s like stepping back in time, seeing the commercials. Super nostalgic and I love it.

[@HomeVideoHangouts]

Thats awesome!

[@josephtorres5486]

I have almost hundred vhs movies still growing and growing

[@HomeVideoHangouts]

Awesome!

[@stuartobrien78]

The trailers on vhs were special.

[@HomeVideoHangouts]

Yes they are like time capsules in that regard

[@josephcontreras8930]

Except for Disney videos I swear that they went on for an hour before the feature I wondered is this a tape of coming attractions?????😅

[@Likwidphase2]

I still watch vhs! I literally just an hour ago finished shallow Hal on vhs

[@HomeVideoHangouts]

Nice! Thats a fun movie!

[@TheDreamtimezzz]

I agree. VHS is fun!

[@HomeVideoHangouts]

Glad you agree!

[@josephcontreras8930]

Even if you get a dud movie your not out very much I probably lose more $ on bar pull tabs. Be kind rewind....😅

[@joshuapowell1868]

People like myself are fixing broken vhs tapes with Scotch tape it starts playing again with out no problem's plus I clean out mode switches in VCR players that start s playing again if you don't know what a mode switch is you can go online and say how clean out a mode switch in a VCR player

[@HomeVideoHangouts]

Cool good for you.

[@dishsoap1]

HD DVD is what I got into this year. The format that should have won. 😢

[@norbkowa]

i bough it before it was discontinued and now i have over 100 movies for it and 3 players. I still buy movies when i find some in local thrift stores.

[@HomeVideoHangouts]

Not a bad format

[@fredleejohnsonjrthe3846]

Well,well I'm just saying thank you for this evening true powerful video commentary. Is indeed in my opinion truth be told the truth and food for thought.. Yes indeed thank you for your deep point of view with all of the facts. Thank you

[@HomeVideoHangouts]

You're very welcome

[@xaviersejour9183]

I’m starting to hate VHS tapes they’re moldy and I have no idea how to clean them I think I prefer DVDs generally as long as they’re in the case they’re probably fine

[@xaviersejour9183]

For what I can tell cleaning VHS tapes requires a $800 machine or two VCRs when I don’t even have one.

[@HomeVideoHangouts]

Ya I think formats that came after vhs can be easier to maintain

[@stuartobrien78]

Good news Amanda and the Alien is now on blu ray at Vinegar Syndrome.

[@HomeVideoHangouts]

I saw that. Thats cool.

[@winslow-eh5kv]

Well, movies like THAT 3:51 probably WILL BE put out in streaming form eventually, just give it time. Just as it probably took a while for them to come out on vhs too (not everything got released ALL AT ONCE in THAT format either I'm sure).

[@HomeVideoHangouts]

That would be interesting if amanda and the alien went to streaming.

[@ChannelWackadoo]

'Terrifier 2' is available on VHS at Walmart right now!!! 📼

[@HomeVideoHangouts]

Thats awesome!

[@josephcontreras8930]

Really???? Noooo...on vhs???? I'll have to look

[@Tgarnett25-lb5rh]

I’d love to find a way to affordably project VHS.

[@tobrsun]

Anyone looking for The Three Stooges Idiots De Luxe(unopened), Beverly Hills Cop 2, Orange County, 007 Golden Eye, Nobody's Fool, Ben Hur or The Sound Of Music?

[@yazlaw1]

You found Amanda and the Alien on VHS? I had to buy a bootleg DVD back in 2006.

[@HomeVideoHangouts]

Yes I was able to pick it up on amazon from a third party seller.

[@Andre-qo5ek]

what about the responsibility of archiving the media? i do wish we had more archivists instead of JSUT collectors.

[@bondjovi4595]

No, No, No 1,000 times. The thrift stores in my area don't watch them all the way through. They are wrinkled, they scratch my VHS heads. They are missing parts of the movie, etc...

[@stuartobrien78]

Curse of the black wid1977w is only on vhs.

[@joshuapowell1868]

Vhs tapes more free whiching in your house now days then Disney plus and Netflix and KZbin is now days everything proven vhs tapes more healthy than Disney plus y vhs tapes keeps you moving more like getting up and down more

[@KarimKhan-ys8oc]

Upscale VHS? 🤣 Only the amount of titles on VHS could be a reason to go look for one. Apart maybe from wanting to own all versions of your favorite movie. But how many would you be collecting like that? Minimalism goes against collecting anything, I guess.
