Remember video?

I'm sure I don't need to tell you what a homo I am when it comes to videos. Especialy ex-rentals from the golden age of videostores.
There's nothing I dislike about rental videos and i'm proud to say i'm one of those assholes who even enjoys the copyright warnings and label intros, especially those intros.

Here's the Thorn EMI intro. One of the first I found really exciting. I remember 'Dallas', the first videostore in town and it had a big Thorn Emi sign hanging outside over the sidewalk. The video store used to play Thorn Emi trailers all day long and I would hang around in there watching the same trailers over and over, stuff like The Soldier, The Burning, Madman and those crazy early 80's german sexploitation films.


Another one that released tons of great stuff was Video for Pleasure. That label was the shit for stuff as The Beyond, Maniac, Zombie Holocaust...and tons of x-rated stuff. I still buy almost every title I find on fleamarkets. Sometimes even shitty movies just for nostalgic reasons.


Here's another good one...Video Screen. These came with either this commercial or one for Pal Mall cigarettes. Ah the good ole days. I still have a couple of tapes from this label such as The Evil Dead and The Hills Have Eyes. Yeah, the connection!
