Summary

A carefree memoir of growing up during the golden age of VHS and video rental stores in the 1980s. This humorous nostalgia trip rewinds to an era of chunky plastic tapes, horror movie sleepovers, and rewinding woes. Relive the magic of discovering cinema through the blurry analogue footage, cheesy effects, and garish cover art of the VHS generation.

A warm remembrance of all that was sublime and ridiculous about watching movies on tape during the heyday of the video rental store. From dodgy splatter films to DIY camcorder creations, this book celebrates a bygone media age and the role VHS played in shaping many a budding filmmaker. Sit back and soak in the fuzzy signals of yesteryear for a heartfelt trip back to the fascinating world of VHS.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
