Memorial to our VHS tapes eaten by the player.

[Nukie 2]

Lets pay tribute to our fallen comrades...
my Troll 2 tape got ate a few nights back.
Even though I ordered it on DVD, this was the tape that I bought from my old video rental place;
I used to rent this tape constantly and watch it with my friends, oh the memories!

Here's to you

AILEEN WOURNOS:CONFESSIONS of a SERIAL KILLER. Ate 

My big box version of 2000 MANIACS. Ate. 

RETURN of the LIVING DEAD. ATE! 

DRACULA vs. FRANKENSTEIN!!! AAAAAAAATE!

A couple of years ago my uncut VHS tape of A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child got eaten by a friend's player.

The thing that sucks is that the Elm Street DVD box set I have only has the R rated cut in it for some stupid reason.

I had a bootleg copy of "Deep Inside Annie Sprinkles" when I was a teenager that a VCR ate. I wept like a small child. . .

My vhs of I Spit On Your Grave (Anchor Bay version) was eaten a few weeks back.

it actually does...good call haha 


not a 'film' as such, but I once managed to destroy my step-dad's important video of man utd beating some other european team by constantly rewinding a particular goal that was scored. the vcr basically ended up mashing the tape.

We never had tapes eaten by our old VCR but I do recall our VCR once tearing the tape of the John Candy comedy Delirious after rewinding. I was in panic because it was a brand new rental tape. I had three options: either bring the damaged video back and pay $90.00 or lie and say it was already damaged. Which might have not worked because the rental place usually checked the tapes before handing them out. I went with the third option and fixed the torn tape with scotch tape. I had to unscrew the tape to open it and yes, the safety sticker sealing ripped during the process. However, they never suspected a thing when I returned the movie so I guess I got lucky

wow... that story reminded me how we got screwed in those VHS movie clubs... :)

The movie club would mail you a movie and you have a week to return it or you be forced to buy it... and we got stuck with Aliens... it costed us $98 DOLLARS!!!! (this was between 1987 to 1988)

Not only movie clubs and rental places had insane prices. I remember in the late 80s some store was offering Brain Damage (1988) for a whooping $79.95. Another place had Meridian (1990) for $69.
