VHS horror covers that stuck out

here is where you name some VHS horror movies where the covers really stuck out to you in the past.
This cover ALWAYs stuck out every time i'd go to the video store when i was young

notible mentions are Dead Alive and Evil Dead 2. I remember always calling Evil Dead 2 the one with the cool skull on the cover, and then years later i finally saw it and my god what a good movie.

Troll, Monkey Shines, Alien Prey, The Video Dead, Wizard Of Gore, Lunchmeat, and 555 all stuck out to me.

i bought troll because of the cover... fucking regret it. But it's funny that "Harry Potter" was in it.
now that i'm older and wiser... these fucking DVD covers do anything to make you buy the movie, even when the cover has NOTHING to do with the movie.

The VHS cover had the creepy toy monkey bashing the symbols together.

Yep, thats the one. When my Mom worked at the video store when I was little everytime I walked by that one it gave me the creeps. Still watched the movie though and really liked it.

it was one of his last good films. Land of the Dead was good but VERY flawed.

Jason Goes to Hell The raised print and snake looking character looked badass when I was a young sprout.

( I love NY poster just cause I like it better than the actual cover)

Gotta love the old VHS covers. Then they had to go and update the covers with generic shit. Especially those deluxe edition DVD's with the Part 5 Roy mask on every cover.

The original VHS box for The Dead Pit stuck out... I mean literally stuck out... it was three dimensional formed plastic of a zombie coming out of a pit... and it's eyes would light up....
