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!

FEBRUARY 3 VHS HISTORY LEASON : U.S.A. HOME VIDEO
Another 80's big box company that specialized in exploitation films and 70's & 80's TV movies. Started in 1984, U.S.A. Home Video began releasing 70's exploitation and horror films like RATTLERS and EMBRYO and TV movies such as TARANTULAS THE DEADLY CARGO, ANTS and DYING ROOM ONLY. U.S.A. Home Video came into prominence when they released the controversial SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT on VHS a short time after it's theatrical release. They were one of the first companies to offer a film in it's original unedited version, as they did with SNDT, which was shown in theaters in an R-rated edit. They also gave fans of 70's TV horror movies a lot to cheer about, releasing DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK, BAD RONALD, THE SAVAGE BEES and THE STRANGER WITHIN on VHS (they are all highly sought-after collector's items now). U.S.A. began branching out in it's scope of films, opening a sub-division for family films (called Family Home Entertainment) and a label called "Sybil Danning's Adventure Video", a roster of 24 films and TV shows where Sybil Danning (in an act stolen from Elvira) would come on screen before and after a film, usually dressed in some low-cut outfit, and crack wise about the film that was about to be shown. Some of those films included THE "HUMAN" FACTOR, ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON, RUSH, NINJA WARRIORS, and A MAN CALLED RAGE, with some episodes of the TV series THE SAINT and SPACE: 1999 thrown in. The majority of U.S.A.'s later output was 70's & 80's TV drama movies and docudramas, although some theatrical gems would leak through, such as IN THE SHADOW OF KILIMANJARO, STUNT ROCK and EYE OF THE TIGER. Just like most 80's video companies, when the decade came to an end, so did they. U.S.A. Home Video morphed into LIVE Entertainment, which morphed into I.V.E., which then became part of Artisan Entertainment, which then became the juggernaut that is now known as Lionsgate. { text from critcononline.com }
