    My dad made bootleg copies of just about every vhs he rented until the mid 90s.

    The ones that were for kids he imprinted with red or blue tape, all the others black.

    I have no idea what my mom did with that wall of tapes once he was gone, at this point she doesn’t remember either.

    The main tape I remember rewatching was the Raggedy Ann movie from the 80s that got super psychedelic and had elements of body horror.

      There was also an unsettling retelling of Beowulf via awkward English dub. Watched now, it would probably be charming, but 4 year old me was petrified when the cuddly looking Grendel bit off a man’s head and you could see the stalks of arteries poking out of the neck stump.

      I also watched the first episode of MadBalls more times than is probably healthy.
