I've been out hunting VHS tapes recently, and have scored some great stuff! Here's an example of what I've found lately, but there are so many more available on my website!
VHS tapes, first introduced in 1976 by JVC (Japan Victor Company), changed the way people experienced entertainment at home, creating a legacy that has persisted longer than anyone expected. Though the format was declared obsolete with the rise of DVDs in the 1990s and streaming in the 2000s, VHS is experiencing a surprising comeback, embraced by a niche community of collectors, movie enthusiasts, and fans of retro culture. For these devoted individuals, the clunky, imperfect tape has become more than just a relic—it’s a cherished piece of history.
The original VHS format gained traction in the late 1970s and early 1980s by offering longer recording times and cheaper production costs compared to Sony’s rival Betamax. It dominated living rooms across the world, giving birth to the video rental boom and allowing families to record TV shows and home videos with ease. VHS was synonymous with Saturday night movies, Blockbuster rentals, and those grainy memories captured on home camcorders. For two decades, the format thrived, becoming a cultural touchstone for an entire generation.
Even though production of VHS tapes officially stopped in the 2000s, a loyal community has kept the format alive. Now, VHS is being rediscovered by collectors, filmmakers, and nostalgic fans drawn to its analog charm. In an era of flawless digital streaming, the quirks of VHS—like occasional tracking lines and the soft hum of the VCR—offer a tactile and immersive experience that modern technology just can’t replicate. Horror fans in particular are at the forefront of this revival, drawn to the grainy quality that makes old movies feel even more unsettling. Some independent filmmakers are even releasing new films on VHS, tapping into the growing demand for a retro aesthetic.
VHS tapes have become prized items at flea markets, thrift stores, and online auctions, with rare or out-of-print movies fetching high prices. For collectors, it’s not just about the movies themselves but the entire experience: the unique box art, the clamshell cases, and the satisfying click of the VCR as it pulls the tape inside. To these enthusiasts, VHS isn’t dead—it’s a living, breathing reminder of a time when entertainment was something you held in your hands.
While VHS will never rival the convenience of streaming, its revival shows that, sometimes, nostalgia isn’t just about looking back—it’s about finding joy in the old ways and appreciating the imperfect beauty of what came before. In the hands of these fans, the VHS tape isn’t just making a comeback—it’s getting a second life.
