Yeah i made it a thing of mine to try and see all 39 Section 1 DPP's banned films. And the 42 Section 2. I've seen most of them. Most really are rubbish

Madhouse was ok. Driller Killer is very punk NYC grunge, very atmospheric, not bad at all. Nightmares in a Damaged Brain was crazy, but i kinda liked it. The Cannibal ones never really appealed to me. The Burning shows on the Horror Channel every other week now lol.

But yeah, none are very good really.

Have you seen the Video Nasties Definitive Guide Documentaries? They're really good actually.

I didn't like the Cannibal ones either or the Nazi ones - but The Beast in Heat was one of the most rare so most expensive. My ex had an original pre-cert video sleeve of it but only had a copy of the film. Driller Killer is probably the one I watched that I enjoyed the most.

We had the Jake West documentaries which were interesting (more to him than me lol).

Oh wow, yeah that is a very desired Video Nasty for collectors!! Driller Killer really is a decent film. It got soooo much sh!t at the time though, mainly for his cover art, which is extreme, granted.

Yep, the Jake West ones. Oh i love them i've watched them both a few times The first one is worth about £40 on ebay now too.

[bitontheslide]

driller killer is another blast from the past that i remember watching, couldn't tell you what happened in the film though

The only way to get a decent retro gaming experience of anything before the PS3/360 era is on a 4:3 ratio CRT television, so I know that good ones still sell for decent prices.

VHS I'm less sure about - honestly it just wasn't ever a good media format, same with cassette tapes. It would be purely for nostalgia.

There's a VR experience of a "90's bedroom" that's amazing... you can use the TV/old consoles, right down to putting in the tapes and discs yourself, and it has built in emulators so the games actually play on the screen... not a brilliant way to play a game but the nostalgic experience is great.

Yeah the CRT's for Retro gaming is definitely pushing up the price.

Oh yeah, it's only for nostalgia, not quality. Even Betamax was a better format than VHS.

Also, just been going through my old CD's from the 90's. Most of them are Rap and Hip Hop. Some go for decent prices. Not life changing or anything, but 2pac's All Eyes on Me just sold for £28 on ebay, i have a copy of that. Same as The Chronic, i see it see for 20 something quid a couple days ago.

Most, just like VHS are worthless, but worth checking before you disregard them.

[Swan]

I own this too - https://www.amazon.co.uk/K-Operation...=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Maybe get £25/30 on ebay for it?!

[LeatherTrumpet]

The Evil Dead VHS - Pre-Cert.

I've never seen one with the "not guilty" banner for sale, ever. Only seen a couple collectors on youtube show them off years ago. I have a feeling it's gonna do extremely well.

Been on for just over a day and bidding already at £275. Just under 6 days left.

Spoiler:

VHS is a crappy format to be honest... It can only be for the nostalgia value there.

However for retro gaming (anything up to and including PlayStation 1/N64) - they look and play best on a 4:3 CRT television and always will. They were made for them, and they look terrible on high-resolution screens. There's no way around that. I have dreams of one day having a gaming nostalgia room and it will 100% have a couple of CRT tellys in it .

Yes 1080i LCD came next

Ideal for TV broadcast via HDMI



I ignore the 720P
half HD tv's

Video tapes, especially Horror's, and not just Pre-Cert videos (which have always been quite valuable). Child's Play, the original VHS for example is currently on ebay with a £50 bid.

VHS Players, averaging £30/60.

Funny how things we throw out, sometimes pay people to collect for the skip now have a nice few quid value....

Does anyone on here still have any old TV and VHS media?

What’s the attraction of those old fashioned, bulky TVs ??

Like SB said, they're much better for retro gaming, much bolder colours and much more pleasurable experience.

VHS on CRT is purely for nostalgia, not quality.

I thought the selling point of the new tellies was more vibrant colours ??
