Lo-fi Terror! 5 Horror Movies to Watch on VHS
by Giaco Furino
Sept. 15, 2011

2. The Toxic Avenger (1984)

The allure of watching The Toxic Avenger on VHS probably springs from childhood memories of video rental stores (remember those?).

For some reason small rental stores were always stocked with good Troma tapes, and it was always a thrill to check out the well-watched cassette and let the madness unfold.

We'll take a high-def release of Toxie any day, but we're talking true nostalgia when we talk Avenger on VHS.

Some movies just beg to be watched on VHS the same way certain songs sound better on vinyl. The entire 80s horror genre should be experienced on VHS first for the sake of purity.
