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 9 VHS HISTORY LEASON : MAGNUM ENTERTAINMENT
This is another video company that turned out splashy covers in big box, clamshell cases and regular size video sleeves that always caught the eye, even if the films themselves were strictly bottom-shelf. Films like CURSE OF THE BLUE LIGHTS, NAIL GUN MASSACRE, MAXIM XUL and THE REINCARNATE tempted renters with their colorful artwork, only to disappoint once the cassette was inserted into the VCR. Not that all of their films were bad, mind you. Magnum also released the uncut versions of good exploitation films, including Jose Larraz's VAMPYRES, S.F. Brownriff's backwoods trash epic POOR WHITE TRASH PART II, the highly-original A.I.D.S. parable THE CARRIER and Gregory Dark's STREET ASYLUM. But Magnum was first and foremost a trashfilm maven's dream as their roster included REVENGE OF THE LIVING ZOMBIES, BLOOD SALVAGE, THE CHANNELER (ugh!), GOODNIGHT GOD BLESS, THE DARK POWER and their crowning achievement, ROBO VAMPIRE. The sad fact that my library is full of Magnum Entertainment product attests to their market savvy. I was (and still am) a sucker for eye-catching box art. Magnum did close up shop in the early 90's, only to ressurect itself with new films (you can tell their newer releases by the number "2" next to their logo on the boxes) and a whole new generation of unaware film seekers getting duped into buying or renting shitty films. And we wouldn't have it any other way. Magnum finally closed-up shop for good in 1997 after a run of nearly 15 years. Not bad for a company that never released a major motion picture on VHS. Sunglasses are not mandatory but should be worn to avoid damage to your eyes. UPDATE: According to badfilm director Donald Farmer (SAVAGE VENGEANCE - 1993), Magnum Entertainment formed a subdivision called Eden Entertainment and released a bunch of lower-tier films under the banner of I WILL DANCE ON YOUR GRAVE. Along with Farmer's VENGEANCE, Eden also released his CANNIBAL HOOKERS (1986), Tim Ritter's KILLING SPREE (1987), the rape-revenge film LETHAL VICTIMS (1987) and the cleverly-titled (if awful) I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE TOO (1995). I have just learned from Donald Farmer that the Magnum that ran Eden Entertainment is not the same Magnum Entertainment that released all the other films mentioned. Confusing, isn't it? { text from critcononline.com }
