Oops this post is for real late lol. My choice for last night was the sixth installment in the V/H/S franchise: V/H/S85
I rated this 7/10 as a whole, but I'll breakdown my ratings for each segment too, cause why not lol. This was a great VHS movie, much better than some of the previous installments (here's looking at you, V/H/S Viral).
Like the previous films this one is made up of different segments, plus a main background story type thing going on too. The background story for this one was Total Copy, and I'm rating that 8/10. Good acting, creepy monster, made me laugh out loud at the part where it's replicating a guy named Gary, and the main doctor says "do you wanna watch that again?" the camera pans into Gary's unamused face and the narrator deadpan says "Gary did not want to watch it again." Poor Gary, they should have listened to the other scientist who was played by an uncredited Kelli Garner <3, and gotten the hell outta there cause "Rory" wasn't playing around.
The first segment ties into another one, both directed by the same person. No Wake and Ambrosia were my two favorites of the whole film. Great fun, good acting, good effects, good twist, good resolution. I want a whole film with this, or showing the aftermath or something cause I need moooooooore.
God of Death was the next segment, and it was good too. Nothing amazing, but good.
Next segment was TKNOGD, and I kiiiiind of liked it, but it's probably my least favorite from the whole movie. Kinda neat though.
The last one is Dreamkill, and it was good though I totally guessed who the killer was going to be. Good acting, and I loooooove James Ransone so that was fun to see him in this.
All around, this was a pretty good movie. If you've enjoyed the other V/H/S movies, you'll enjoy this one too. I still want a full movie for No Wake/Ambrosia though cause that was fantastic lol.
Happy one year anniversary to my Over the Garden Wall VHS tape project!
I made it in both orange and black. I like black more, but orange really feels more in the spirit of the season. I used the shell from a VHS copy of the Rugrats movie.
I made the box art using various screenshots from the show, as well as some promo art. The description was taken from the DVD release, and the description title “will you take a peek?” was the tagline during the promotion of the show.
The back also has a fun little easter egg: the barcode is for candy corn!
What’s more is the tape has a special cut of the series that I made myself. I cropped every single scene in every single episode to make sure it naturally fit in a 4:3 aspect ratio, and I edited the episodes together to flow as if it were one movie (the pacing is a little like Babe). Additionally, I added trailers for movies that give me the same nostalgic vibes (The Last Unicorn, Princess Mononoke, Steven Universe: The Movie, and The Iron Giant). I also added the Warner Brothers and Cartoon Network title cards.
I printed this cut into the tape by integrating a VCR into my PC setup. If you want to see more about this project, I have a few videos about it on my TikTok @MooseGBT, or you can check out the main one right here!
The video has an earlier version of the tape, which is why the actual tape doesn’t have a real label (it’s kind of just a piece of paper slapped on upside down with tape). The content on the tape, however, is the same.
This was a really fun project, and I’ve already started working on a VHS cut of Scott Pilgrim vs The World, Steven Universe: The Movie, the Star Wars Sequel trilogy (I have 1-6 on VHS, and I also want 7-9), and the other Star Wars movies (the Christmas Special, the Clone Wars, Solo, Kenobi, and Rogue One). I also have plans to begin editing and printing the FNAF movie, the spiderverse trilogy (once ATSV pt 2 comes out), and Don’t Hug me I’m Scared.
