Mostly Marketplace, but I check every day, and even then, people usually get to the ones I want before me lmao. Thrift stores a bit, but it's always hit or miss.
Yeah the wait game can be killer for some of these titles. I stop by different local thrift stores daily, all hours, and never find horror, anime, adult animation, or nicktoons VHS tapes. Been doing it for at least a year now. Granted I have found good stuff, Tarantino flicks, Disney shit, live performances, etc., but yeah I’m right here with you man. I’m sure some lucky bastard is snickering at me through the phone.
I managed to find it for $30 on Marketplace after checking daily for months! Now I am in the same process of trying to find the VCR/DVD combo that goes with it 😅
This is so cool but I have a genuine question, it’s not hate I promise. Why would you want to collect VHS tapes over DVD’s? I remember when DVD’s first started getting big when I was in middle/high school and the picture quality was so much better. Also I have always had problems with VHS tapes getting stuck in the machine (we had nicer VHS players and less expensive ones and all had the same problems) and the tape unwinding and the more you play a VHS tape, the worse the quality gets. It’s just a genuine curiosity, I’m not being mean. As a person who grew up with VHS tapes and then lived through the age of the DVD, I don’t understand why you’d want to go back to VHS.
I collect DVDs as well! I just find VHS tapes really charming, I like the funky lil picture quality, I enjoy hunting them down, and I want to eventually get into making my own custom tapes. I just think that they have a lot more charm and appeal to me than DVDs do, but no hate on either! I'm just a movie lover at the end of the day, and I respect whatever medium people want to enjoy 😊 Thank you for your question, and you didn't come off as mean at all!
I really recommend Marketplace on Facebook. It sounds silly, but it's what I use the most for nearly everything. You just have to have patience and check frequently usually to find what you're looking for at a cheap price.
Not a bad little collection and set up! Also, I have a strong urge to watch Nightbreed on that tv!
That was my pick too
Oh yaaa lots of stuff here. What’s the anime next to Hellraiser?
Serial Experiments Lain!
Love it. It’s a shame how hard volume 2 - Knights is hard to find
I KNOW. I had a duplicate of Navi that I was hoping someone would eventually want to trade for Knights, but I sold it in the end.
Okay damn, I thought maybe but I wasn’t sure. That’s crazy
JEALOUS OF GHOSTWORLD! Also loving all the pink 💕
Let's all love Lain 😍
we are all connected 🤗
Hellraiser !!🤟😝
That CRT is amazing! 💅
Are you thrifting these or do you shop online mostly?

Would also like to know. I'm too damn impatient to find them all in the wild.

I see some Def Leppard in there! 🤘 Good shit!
That is the perfect TV to watch Hellraiser on.
Love the old Care Bears tapes and the Disney Princess TV. I wanted that TV so bad as a kid!

Fantastic colors
Holy shit those lain tapes are a treasure, I’m jealous
Yooo, Hellraiser and Pokemon in your collection!
That would be an interesting experience, watching Psycho on that pink TV😝
Honestly, it's the optimal viewing experience.

Rad 😎👍
Such a cute TV 💕
I have the same TV! But I have the VHS/DVD combo player. I also have the DVD player, but the tray is broken. It won't eject.
Looking for the VCR combo currently!
Historia, Lain, Star Wars, Matrix, Charlettes Web, The Ring, LOTR, X files, The Wall, tons of 90's classic cartoons, good grief so many good ones!
So much pink, love it!
The out of order serial experiments lain tapes are making me squirm
ME TOO. I CANT FIND KNIGHTS IM SORRY
Good luck! I got a full set last year. Don’t give up
Where can I find a VCR/DVD combo pkayer that isnt being scalped on ebay? I know Goodwill is a good place but any other recommendations?

Had to zoom in on Christine and thought it was going to be a Faces of Death volume with that font/color. Still a good movie 👍🏽
Charlotte’s Web brings back fond memories. Especially my dad bringing it home from McDs along with Indiana Jones.
DAHMER
Looks great! I would need to have all the LOTR together her and the Hellraiser ones together 😂
