What is VHScoverART?

Before the days of the internet, digital downloads and On-Demand, going to your local mom & pop video store and wandering the isles was the only way to find the best/worst movies based on box art alone. Let's celebrate this bygone era! Post links or discussions of your favorite VHS cover art.

Rules for VHScoverArt

  1. DO NOT post links to DVD cover art, movie posters or any other film art. Only VHS box art.

  2. If it's not on IMDB, don't post it.

  3. Before posting any cover art, please search the subreddit for the movie you intend to post. This will avoid cluttering the place with reposts. However, if you find an alternate cover to a movie that has already been posted, please upload it!

  4. No "This" submissions. Please state the movie, director or subject you are linking to in the title. The exception would be self posts or posts asking questions.

  5. If you know where the movie can be viewed, please add the streaming service in brackets "[]" next to the name. You can use the site Can I Stream It? to make a cursory check of most streaming services, but also check YouTube and other relevant sites. However, DO NOT directly link to any videos that are illegally uploaded.

  6. NSFW posts must be tagged using the post tagging system.

  7. Don't spam or troll.

  8. Racist and/or bigoted comments will be removed and will result in a ban.
