VHS covers were the same way.

None of this is in the movie.

Also, it's a terrible movie that was on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

It depends on the movie, og terminator VHS slip art is fucking great. Also honorable mention to monty python and the holy grail.

It was apparently worth the time and money to make four of these movies.

And the star of two of them, Miles O'Keefe, hates the ones he was in. He praised MST3K for being so merciless.

The VHS covers of the 80s-90s Godzilla movies were so good. I still have those tapes for the art.
