In converting my old VHS home movies to digital files I found all kinds of memories. It got me thinking about old horror movies on VHS and all the unsold and barely seen straight to video releases that were spawned in the 80s and 90s. So I took a trip to Yale University to discuss the school’s collection of 3,000 video cassette tapes with librarian David Gary. We discussed the history of VHS and he ran me through which VHS tapes are worth the most and why the case artwork is so important to American culture.
