Being an 8o's boy I just couldn't let video be forgotten - too many good memories, too many classic titles yet to make it to DVD (and some I doubt will ever make it!). The rescue mission began! Classic front covers, genius taglines and blurbs to make you weep with laughter - especially the horror films! Join me and celebrate the guilty pleasures that existed in the crazy world of home video entertainment!

This is a close up of the video cover of the 1982 comedy 'Wacko' that apparently picks up where the oft quoted, oft repeated and much loved Airplane! left off.
