Be Kind Rewind
For this month’s drop, we went back to the 90's to take a look at some classic horror films and all things scary. it’s a collection of everything that once instilled absolute terror within us from the covers of VHS horror movie films in the old blockbuster Isles.
Mike Myers is known for his chilling mask and relentless pursuit of his victims, in the "Halloween" film series, Jason Voorhees, of the "Friday the 13th" franchise, is an emblematic figure in the slasher genre, recognized for his signature hockey mask and unstoppable menace. Patrick Bateman, the enigmatic protagonist of Bret Easton Ellis's "American Psycho," is an iconic character in American literature and pop culture, embodying the dark underbelly of 1980s society.
These characters, represent the dangers of materialism and the erosion of human empathy. They have become ingrained in American history and culture due to their ability to tap into deep-seated fears, societal anxieties, and cultural critiques.
But nothing compared to the horror of checking out a VHS, only to find the previous renter was clearly un-American. Back in the ‘90’s very few things were more patriotic than rewinding your VHS before returning it.
