Hello and welcome to VHS Wasteland! VHS WASTELAND is your home for high resolution scans of rare, strange, and forgotten vhs covers. Each of these bizarre gems is scanned at 200 dpi. Our staff of over 40 contributors (and more added all the time) scans and posts between 15-30 new covers every day along with reviews, trailers and much more! So bookmark our homepage and check the site often! Simply click on the thumbnail of any vhs cover to download the full high res format. We'd also love submissions from you. If you have a vhs that is weird or rare, you can find info on what we are looking for here.
FREE PUPPIES: Want to help us out? An easy way to do so without any real effort on your part at all is to make this page your home page. It would give us more hits and help bring in a few precious pennies in ad space. Come on, do it now. Why are you not doing it? What, do you hate us or something? Do it and we'll be your best friend... And we'll give you a puppy. Legal disclaimer: the staff of vhs wasteland has no intentions of giving you a puppy. Are you not doing it because you don't know how? Here's a link that explains how to do it. There now you have no excuse. Do it now. Oh, and also be sure to check out our new online store and get yourself some great vhs wasteland merchandise. Come on... We'll give you a puppy. Dang it, why haven't you made this your homepage yet? You used to be cool man.
Also, why not visit our parent sites (madhatterdesign.net and serialkillercalendar.com). They have nothing to do with vhs covers but i think you might be pleasantly surprised by what you find. Or not. I don't know you. Maybe your not surprised by anything. Maybe your the kind of guy that sees a cow fall out of the sky and explode like a piñata and your all like "huh, that was weird." man. What's wrong with you anyway? Jeez. Some people.
OUR WISH LIST: Our wish list: we are always looking for new movie reviewers and vhs contributors to join our vhs wasteland team. If you have something strange or rare you, we would love to include it on the site. You would, of course, get full credit for your contribution and be added to our ever growing staff page. Some of the titles we are looking for right now include (but are in no way limited to) "dancing grannies" "bambi meets godzilla" and any kind of insane religious vhs. You can click here for instructions on how to scan and submit these covers or, if you are the coolest person ever and want us to promote the crap out of you (or your website) you can mail us the actual vhs tape to add to our collection. Either way, contact us for more info!
Thank you to wildeyereleasing.com for sending us a big box of vhs tapes! As an extra thank you to them, we will be putting their banner at the top of the site for the rest of the month. Any person or company that mails us a box of VHS tapes, will have their banner moved to the top of our links page and get their banner put on the top of the homepage for several weeks. Plus MORE!

JANUARY 15 VHS HISTORY LEASON : REPUBLIC PICTURES HOME VIDEO
First, a little history lesson. Republic Pictures was founded in 1935 by Herbert J. Yates and, during it's early years, produced numerous small B-Westerns (making stars out of John Wayne, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers in the process) and serials (i.e. THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN MARVEL - 1941). Eventually, Republic Pictures would make A-list films like THE SANDS OF IWO JIMA (1949) and THE QUIET MAN (1952), but Yates always kept his hands in the B-movie field, churning out small films in every genre (they were also the first studio to offer their film library to TV in 1951). As the 50's were coming to a close and the demand for small films was waning (thanks to TV), Republic Pictures closed up shop in 1959. In 1962, Republic sold it's film library to National Telefilms Associates (NTA) and, in the early 80's, NTA began releasing Republic Pictures' films on VHS. NTA would eventually buy the right to the Republic Pictures name and logo in 1986 and release films under the Republic Picture Home Video banner. A mixture of old films (INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS - 1956; MONSTER OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS - 1959; CASTLE OF EVIL - 1966) and new productions (SCARED STIFF - 1987; DEAD MAN WALKING - 1987; NIGHT OF THE DEMONS - 1988; PLAYROOM - 1989: CTHULHU MANSION - 1990), Republic Pictures Home Video would release hundreds of genre titles, many of them Canadian tax shelter films like the SCANNERS and AMITYVILLE series, independent horror films like THE BOOGENS (1981), SOCIETY (1989) MAD AT THE MOON (1992) and NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW (1995), actioners like MISSION OF JUSTICE (1992) and DIGITAL MAN (1994), and just plain weird films like NIGHTMARE AT NOON (1987) and INVISIBLE MANIAC (1990), until closing up shop in 1995, shortly after being bought by late TV producer Aaron Spelling. Lionsgate Entertainment (who else?) now owns the majority of the Republic Pictures theatrical film library. { text from critcononline.com }
