VHS "gimmick" boxes.

[Mofo Rising]

The VHS copy of Johnny Mnemonic had a see-thru cover and a "flesh" colored video tape, so when you pulled the tape out of the box it looked like you were removing a disk from Keanu Reeves' head. That was a touch I always though was clever.



Of course, now that the use of portable magnetic disks has diminished, the effect is somewhat ruined.

I collect these too! You should pick up the latest issue of HorrorHound magazine. This months issue has an article on gimmick vhs boxes. Anyway,
In case you dont get the mag, just to help your hunt. The others they listed in the article (that I didn't see posted here) are
Demon Wind, Bleeders, Fright Night part 2, Mirror, Progeny, Uncle Sam, and The Visitors. Happy Hunting!

Not a VHS box but, my Dusty Rhodes wrestling DVD boxed set had one of those greeting card style buttons you press to make the box talk. It had one of Dusty's promo recordings. It stopped working after two days.
