Video cover art is a unique and largely lost artform representing a period of unabashed creativity during the video rental boom of the 1980s to early 1990s. The art explodes with a succulent, indulgent blend of design, illustration, typography, and hilarious copywriting. Written and curated by Tom "The Dude Designs" Hodge, poster artist extraordinaire and VHS obsessive, with a foreword by Mondo's Justin Ishmael, this collection contains over 240 full-scale, complete video sleeves in the genres of action, comedy, horror, kids, sci-fi, and thriller films. It's a world of mustached, muscled men, buxom beauties, big explosions, phallic guns, and nightmare-inducing monsters. From the sublime to the ridiculous, some are incredible works of art, some are insane, and some capture the tone of the films better than the films themselves. All are amazing and inspiring works of art that captivate the imagination. It's like stepping back in time into your local video store!… (mais)

I think anyone growing up in the 80s will love this book. Well if you are a movie fan of course, but who isn't? It was quite nice to browse through the pages and look at all the wonderful (and sometimes quite weird) covers. Mostly are these movies I have never seen, hell mostly never heard of and I thought I was a movie buff. But it was great to read this book and I got a bit nostalgic. Just think it wasn't many years ago I had a collection of VHS now I just have a couple left...

Anyway, it was a nice book, perfect if you are a movie buff that likes old movies.

Here are some covers from the book, I will just pick some random ones. I did take a lot of screencaps and I can't post them all...:P






I have actually seen The Survivor and Fire and Ice...lol

3.5 stars

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with a free copy for an honest review! ( )

One of those interesting finds from my retro awesome brother.

As a child of the 80s in a small rural town, one of the few forms of entertainment included renting movies on VHS. Before it became hipster fun to make bad movies on purpose, diverging from the popular blockbuster section was often view at your own risk. There was no Amazon app to warn you of potential wastes of money.

Vhs: Video Cover Art is a nice, often hilarious, trip down memory lane. See the lovely riff-offs of Rambo and Mel Gibson-ish characters. The over-the-top illustrations and graphics. The cheesy, totally-fake-now horror makeup. Fair warning, some of the covers are from Europe and have some nudity.

Overall, fun for kicks and giggles. A very nice conversation piece for those obsessed with this unique point in history. ( )
