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.

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!

THE WACKY ADVENTURES OF RONALD MCDONALD : THE LEGEND OF GRIMACE ISLAND
MARCH 29 VHS MOVIE REVIEW : I DRINK YOUR BLOOD (1971)
This film, along with LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, is the grandaddy of early 70's exploitation sleaze. It has played on so many double and triple bills (usually in a severely edited form) that it had a healthy life in theaters well into the 80's. It is finally available on video in pristine and unedited condition from Midnight Video (see address below). A cult of satan worshippers (led by the singly-monikered Bhaskar) arrive in a small town that is soon to be flooded when a dam is completed. They rape a girl and force feed LSD to her angry grandfather. In retribution, a little boy injects rabid dog's blood into their meat pies, turning the band of satanists into rabid, frothing-at-the-mouth maniacs. They infect almost everyone (including a bunch of dam workers who fuck one of the slutty female satanists) until only a handful of normal people are left. We learn that hydrophobia (aka: rabies) is quite painful. It causes a dreaded fear of water and the color red as well as causing the infected to have murderous tendencies. Thank God that our hero drives a red car and there are plenty of garden hoses on hand! The police are finally called in and shoot all the infected, as the town doctor says he would prefer them to die this way because, "Death by hydrophobia is agony!" Even though it is a cheap and somewhat dated film, it really delivers in the gore department. Hands, legs and heads are cut off. Grandpa is found with a pitchfork through his neck. Multiple impalements abound, including an infected pregnant girl who drives a stake through her stomach. Co-star Lynn Lowry (THE CRAZIES - 1972; THEY CAME FROM WITHIN - 1975) portrays a mute member of the satanists who proves highly proficient with an electric carving knife. Director/screenwriter David Durston (who is also responsible for the 1972 VD horror film STIGMA) keeps things moving at a brisk pace, never giving you enough time to realize how ridiculous the entire proceedings are. Viewing this film for the first time in nearly fifteen years made me long for the good old days when theaters offered fare such as this on double and triple bills. I DRINK YOUR BLOOD richly deserves its reputation. A reputation that still holds up today. (Available for $19.00 + $3.00 S&H from: Midnight Video 5010 Church Drive Coplay, PA 18037). Also available on a deluxe DVD from Fangoria (www.fangoria.com). { text from critcononline.com }
