This selection consists of some of my personal favourite U.S. VHS horror/trash cover art, most of which were released by the legendary Wizard Video.

      Thanks for your feedback Michael, you certainly don't get that sort of wonderfully lurid marketing these days with film cover art, everything is airbrushed blandsville.

    My mouth was watering and you know what, I own these tapes (LOL)...thanks Michelle for sharing this, I'm delighted to have these museum pieces as they are now a very important part of film history.
