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!

JANUARY 29 VHS HISTORY LEASON : SIMITAR ENTERTAINMENT
This is what I want you to do immediately after reading this paragraph: Go to the Simitar Entertainment page and memorize all the covers you see there. After you have done so, never, EVER purchase any of them, even if you can get them for free. They are the worst of the worst. No, not the films. Some of them are pretty good. I'm talking about the transfers. Most of them were recorded in the EP speed and have the worst tracking problems in VCR history. Most of Simitar's tapes are unwatchable and seem to have been mass-produced to make the buyer extremely angry. I should know. I own a good chunk of them. Simitar was in existence from 1984 to 2000. While the majority of their releases were sports, children's and outdoor documentaries, they did release some films aimed at the horror film lover. Unfortunately, once you brought the tape home you usually ended up cursing at your VCR, screaming "Why are you doing this to me?" at the top of your lungs, thinking that your VCR was the offending party. Well, we know better now. I was the recipient a few years ago of aquiring the majority of a small video store's inventory and about 50 of the tapes were from Simitar. After playing them all in four different VCRs, only one of them played correctly throughout. That film was Jeff Hathcock's VICTIMS, and since it was the only Simitar tape recorded in the SP mode, I'm not surprised. The only trouble was the print they used looked like a third generation dupe and was nearly unwatchable anyway. So, heed my advice and stay away from these releases. A lot of people try to pawn them off on eBay for outrageous prices. Ask questions and demand to see the cover before you buy. Here's another little tidbit about Simitar: In 1999, the World Wrestling Federation sued Simitar for trademark infringement for selling a CD of music titled WWF-THE MUSIC, VOL. 3 and won. This led to Simitar's downfall in 2000 when they declared bankrupcy. The owners then went to Brentwood Communications, Inc. (BCI) and started a DVD division. Everyone knows the troubles that ensued with the quality of the early BCI releases. Some of them would skip in various players and I have one that died during the final 30 minutes of MESSIAH OF EVIL. Simitar was also the first independent distributor to release their films to DVD (in 1997), but they were just as hinky as their VHS releases. { text from critcononline.com }
