Video Store memorabilia

Every night I go to my mom's to help put my grandmother to bed so I decided to check out my old room and grab something i've been meaning to bring to my house for awhile.

I got this back in the 80's when I worked in my first video store. It's a cloth hanging of Back to the Future with movie buttons all over it that I got when the movies were announced.







The movie buttons are:

ET
Batman
Batman Mask of the Phantasm
Back to the Future 2
Tales From the Crypt Demon Knight
Land Before Time
Dirty Dancing
In the Mouth of Madness
The Mangler
Tank Girl-2 different buttons
Star Trek 20th Anniversary 1966-1986
Dick Tracy
Voodoo
Big Trouble
Say Yes
Dark Half
Gargoyles The Movie
Monster Squad
Little Shop of Horrors
Assassination
Unbearable Lightness of Being
From Beyond
Critters
Troll
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
Let's Get Harry
Ishtar
Pinoccio
Rescuers Down Under
Brainscan
Wolf

I thought some people might find them interesting.

That's a pretty cool little window into that era.

That's awesome man. The Batman Forever one immediately made me remember when I first bought the tape THAT DAY when I was 8. I forgot it was Halloween day too. I went as the Shadow for Halloween that year, I think.

Very cool. It takes me back to when I plopped down $75 for a videotape of Back to the Future on the 1st day it was available. If I could have only really known the future. I still have that tape.

LOL, I had that same rush to buy it but I got it late on the 30th from K-Mart because they were releasing it early as a special.

Awesome poster towel and memorabilia!
