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!

AUGUST 24 VHS MOVIE REVIEW : MORTAL CHALLENGE
From badmovies.org
At some point in the future, Los Angeles finally becomes a caricature of itself. The rich elite live on a private island, protected from the commoners by a private police force. When the daughter of a wealthy family goes missing, they hire a mainland private detective (Timothy Bottoms) to find the missing girl.
It just so happens that a group of elite are running their own version of Rome's Colosseum. People are captured in the slums and dumped into a maze where they are hunted by a cyborg. Just avoiding the augmented gladiator is not enough, because a number of remote control trapdoors are hidden throughout the tunnels. Falling down one of the vertical shafts deposits the contestant into a room where they are forced to fight a deathmatch against a muscled fighter who obviously has too much caffeine in his diet. The detective, the girl he is looking for, and a few others find themselves involuntary contestants in this game of death.
All of this is done for the benefit of a few wealthy schmucks who are bored with "normal" entertainment. Most of them are supposed to be spoiled twenty-somethings, including the star of Flesh Gordon 2 (and he plays a useless human flesh wart with such self-assurance that I couldn't wait for the protagonists to escape from the arena and kill him). Before the cyborg or Mr. "I tried to perm my hair after drinking four liters of Mountain Dew" dispatch a defeated player, the rich spectators vote with their thumbs. A thumbs up majority means the player is set free to get killed later; thumbs down is immediate cause for impalement (the cyborg has a retractable blade) or neck snapping.
Now, I am worried that I might have made "Mortal Challenge" sound like a film you might want to see. It is a lot like "The Running Man," though it lacks the daily recommended allowance of Arnold Schwarzenegger (Maria Shriver is known to regularly exceed this), and I could care less if any of the contestants survived. One contestant, Hawk, kept doing outright wicked things because he "wanted to live." He also kept reciting worthless wisdom that his old man had spouted from the bottom of an alcoholic pit. It was no small blessing when the script eliminated him from the game.
