The Awesome Old School Video Rental Store (Around the Town Vlog)

- Today I went to an awesome old school video rental store and showed a bunch of the big box horror vhs tapes.
We also talk about the new Todd Solondz film Dark Horse which stars Jordan Gelber, Selma Blair, Mia Farrow, Christopher Walken and Justin Bartha
goldmine of nostalgia
It was cool seeing those again, I remember being freaked out as a kid by the popcorn box but always looking at it. Our grocery store had lots of these. I'd rent Nintendo games on the weekend and wonder over to the horror section. Cool video
dude, seriously, I envy you. I've been hooked on your videos for over a month now, just found them by accident. that video store looks amazing. just give me an air mattress, a cooler worth of sandwiches and pop, maybe a pillow, shut the door and lock me in that place for a week. just looking at some of those videotapes bought back memories. AWESOME!
I miss looking at the amazing art that vhs boxes had. Wish dvd/blurays would have artwork like that.
That brings back alot of memories. I love the cover art on those old vhs tapes.
God that is awesome. I miss places like that : (
This is an ongoing discussion I have with people. Am I the only one that kinda misses vhs tapes? They just to me have the same feeling like old Vinyl records. Just cool to own, especially the rare ones if you can find them.
He's a collector, not a pirate. A digital copy (legal OR illegal) has no value. No sentimental value, no collector's value, and no resell value. A tape, DVD, Blu-Ray or any other solid piece of media has all of those. It's cool to have the artwork, the physical releases of something on your shelf. Each one holds a memory and each one is worth something. A downloaded movie is just a bunch of code.
That store brought back memories for me of going to video rental stores and renting movies. I remember renting "The Outing" when I was younger. I thought it was pretty good. There were tons of horror movies I use to rent and I also use to own a lot, but they took up too much room and I had to sell them off. I still have a few that aren't on DVD.I also couldn't believe the rare DVDs they had "555" What a great store.
That place is impressive, reminds me of the old neighborhood video store I use to go to in the 80s. Thanks for sharing!
Coolduder is a throwback to the 80's and 90's :)
i agree there nothing like when going to a old shop and finding something u love
I miss video rental stores like this. Made weekends fun watching those rental films. haha.
He's not ugly, and faaaaar from a loser. Unless you consider being very close to a celebrity- really a personality, being a loser. He also got popular the right way, not by being a stupid fool to get to a level of almost being famous, but because people actually like him. He may be "fat" now, but I think that helped him get where he is today, not like wouldn't have anyway, he's very likable, but it distinguishes him from others doing the same kind of thing.
fear anxiety and depression is one of my all time favs. I own it on VHS. my basement is a mini replica of that video store. I miss the good old day mom and pop shop video stores where the cult section were twice as big as the current releases. great stuff coolduder! you have impeccable taste!
that selection is out of this world, shit that collectors would try to sell for $100+. Just beautiful
Man... That reminds me of my childhood when I used to constantly go back to the horror section of the video store and look at all the old tapes there. They would scare the crap out of me because of their covers and the mystery surrounding them, but I was ALWAYS going straight to the horror section of any video store back then. I would be in heaven if I were at that place you're showing!
My town used to have a store like this that still rented VHS movies. It was a great place to rent older horror movies that haven't made the transition to DVD. 5 movies for $5 for two days, but if you rented them Friday you could keep them til Monday for the same price since they were closed on Sunday. Unfortunately, the place has closed down since then. I still miss it.
An AWESOME video store...then, right next door, PINK FLAMINGOS. In a theater! Wow!
Awesome video store. Would love to buy some of those old movies and the standups
dude i saw the pit on vhs in the video that is a classic !!! ... dude i hate it that all the good old mom and pop video stores are closing it's a damn shame ...back in the 90's every weekend i would always rent a vhs tape and watch it like 3 to 5 times that whole weekend ... man those were the days
this is an amazing video, video store plus the old cinema is amazing looking too.
This is what my dreams are made of...
wow this is a better horror selection than the blockbuster near me back in the 90s. it's nice to know places like this still exist though
Time warp. Very cool.
I love the excitement in your voice. You don't really get that vibe from Netflix.
Funny thing is, even nowadays, I can still find VHS tapes for sale in charity stores, and for excellent prices, and sometimes, even some big movies aren't available (or super rare) on DVD or Blu ray, and if you get lucky, you'll find it in one of these.
Truly a great store with so many movies I have yet to watch! I love viewing these older Coolduder videos that I had already watched over 6 years ago! I miss the BIGGIE SIZED Coolduder to be totally honest, but glad he is much healthier now. He was just such a lovable big guy and just a more interesting looking character and his size brought out his character more back then in my personal opinion. I seen nearly every movie he was in thus far but he is sadly much easier to miss/overlook in movies now a days after his amazing weight loss transformation.
Awesome..Many memories of these kinds of tapes from my past as well!
Your parents are so cool.
I totally agree! things are going good out here for you!
u make me jellous that you find all these crazy out of the way cool video stores
This place seems so cool! We still have a bunch of our DBZ VHS tapes, just can't get rid of them..great video!
the thing i miss most about vhs is all the awesome covers they had. Now dvd and bluray have bad photoshop stuff but you cant beat some classic Vhs covers.
What a great video store and what a great video. Good work, buddy. Such a shame that finding some strange film on the shelf of a video store might be fading away along with the drive-in cinema.
One thing i remember about the old VHS horror film tapes is the box would many times have grusome pictures of something - some monster, alien or killer that was not even in the movie. Kind of like a bit of false advertising to make you think the movie was gonna be good-when it really was not.
Yeah man next time i come up to your house we need to go to that place
well you could rent them then record the video onto your computer with a video capture card
Wow that's store looks so cool I would so go there every day just to rent old classic and obscure stuff
You live in constant nostalgia.
Movie trading company has a bunch of old horror VHS tapes! love that store:) great video man!
a friend of mine`s relative owned a video store and they used to make homemade martial arts movies back in the 80`s and rent them out in the store.
Shawn, on the subject of old vhs, I remember a movie box that I've only seen once. I think it was called The Big Apple, it was a horror film, gruesome from the images on the box. maybe about new york but the box had a guy shoving a knife in a young girls face on the back. This was probably around 1987 saw it to rent only that one time but it stuck in my head. Looked like 70s quality photos. Your probably one of the few who may know what the movie was.
These are you're best kind of videos in my opinion :)
As much as I enjoy your DVD updates, I also really like watching these videos. You've got a wonderful family Shawn. It's great that you all have so much in common and clearly enjoy spending time together. These are the days that you will cherish for the rest of your life. I know that sounds corny, but trust me it's true.
Been going to Kensington Video for a long time, they've been around forever. Also very good for offbeat documentaries from the 60s and foreign films.
Insane place you found there...
Funny how the law is put together, you can't show naked people, but you can show terror and horror... :)
man thats an old school cinemas, didnt think places like that existed
because I remember video town and I loved the horror section. I remember when hello mary lou prom night 2 came out. Those were the days buddy, those were the days. today family video who still has stores open. they don't have sections like that anymore. at least mine don't. wish I would see a legit horror section the way blockbuster had
I really wish they had places like that where I live. I would love to go to that video rental store! :)
If i remember correctly in an issue of horrorhound there are artist today who are starting to make old school style covers for new horror DVD`s because fans miss those.
Thanks for uploading this mate, I like old VHS horror tapes, I'm from the UK and quite a lot of these got banned in Britain, fantastic vid.
Just went there today! You can buy most of them if you go up to the front and ask. I got the unrated VHS of Zombie Holocaust!
You can find that movie Rattlers on a 50 movie pack called "Drive in movie classics".
That place is awesome.
you honestly have to be the coolest dude, i wish i could chill with you
Neat Place, I bet it's impossible to come across a video rental store anymore, not since Netflix, Redbox, and the Internet.
Hey Shawn - Been a regular watcher of your vids for I would say about 3 years now and wanted to tip my hat off to you for such great content. You actually reviewed a Troma film I did a lead on called "The Killer Bra" which Lloyd Kaufman produced (AKA "Shameless, Tasteless") Really glad you dug it, you gave us a great review :D! Keep up the great work - I enjoy your stuff! -- Nick Smyth
that was a great video, you guys should have stayed to see pink flamingos. I would love a reaction video to that lol.
Yeah but I used to buy vhs tapes just for the covers at times. Ones like the video dead and return of the living dead were my favorite covers.
Someone should make a petition that this store never closes.
I totally agree renting old obscure vhs movies is my favorite childhood memory glad to see other people share the same love i do and yes downloads can kiss my ass
A guy i know owned a video store called ABC Video and he had a bunch of horror and sci fi with those big VHS boxes and when he was starting to convert his store to DVD`s he started selling the tapes for about 1.20 each. Oh if i knew then what i know now of how much a lot of old VHS tapes go for i would have grabbed them all. He moved his store to who knows where and i doubt he still has the tapes.
Wow, I'd like to LIVE in that store! :D
Reminds me of my friends' horror video store in Scranton, "Nightmare Video". Unfortunately they went out of business.
OMG !! I saw a VHS copy of The Pit !!
please tell me you've seen that before !! , greatest horror film ever ! =D
That's an awesome rental place. Some of them vhs go for alot of money on Ebay!
wow would have loved to camp out there just hand me a vcr some popcorn and beanbag chair -)
i still rent dvd's and blu-ray's from and old video store that has been around since the 80's, its great they have really old out of print dvd's and a lot of criterions, plus its only $0.99 for dvd's and $1.49 for blu-ray
Remember that store from Be Kind Rewind? This kind of reminds me of that.
And Shawn, when I saw you guys were in the cult horror VHS section, I thought I'd look for Grim Prairie Tales. Sure enough, I pause, and there it is. Ever seen that one? I know the director. It stars Brad Dourif and James Earl Jones. It isn't out on DVD, so I'm betting you haven't seen it, but if you had I was curious as to your opinion.
i miss the old vhs covers
Sheet man, i would friggin love to go there
Wow that place looks really inspiring.
...oh yeah, and William Atherton from Ghostbusters has a role in it too.
great video shawn that store looks awesome man :D
Awesome store!
thats a shame, you guys were like the definition of best friends!
seen a lot of these. forgot about dark night of the scarecrow
Wow that place is stuck in 1988. Cool store
wow what an amazing store wish we had things like this in england its a shame tht u cld only rent from there :)
Thats an awesome store!
Just checked the address on Street View. Sadly, the place has gone out of business (2018).
So jealous! I want to go to there.
you can get most of this stuff including all the new stuff, on torrent sites then just use convertxtodvd, and you can play them on your dvd player and it saves you a load of money. as you dont need to part with your hard earned cash.
2:40 *jaw drops* WOW. The Cinema Snob would piss himself with joy if saw that big of a collection!
I love that video store!
This video made me smile-
nice to see little places like this still exist-
reminds me of renting VHS when I was a kid.
F*CK downloads
Cool video store
Where was this and is it still around?
So many of these have not been released on disc, a few can be watched on Y.T and other sites, I wouldn't even try watching them on VHS, esp rentals, most of them are shot.
cant wait to see "dark horse"
This is great man. I love this retro horror stuff - Keep it coming!!
There's something intriguing about old VHS tapes, kind of like a record. I collect classic rock records and horror VHS's. They take up space, but they look cool. They are also conversation pieces.You do know that VHS copies of movies are often altered when they are later put into DVD and other formats don't you Even if you can download the same exact copy, to me that is a "faceless" movie, just like music without even being the real CD is facelesscan make your own, or but imitation, still...
Did you ever find any of Todd Sheet's movies on VHS? Copies of his movies (minus Zombie Bloodbath seires, which is all on DVD) are neigh impossible to find and go for a lot of money online!
Shit like this is what I live for.
i love all your videos and i think your cool
wow awesome place!!!!!
The original 555 DVD?! 😲
Ppl in there 20s are the last ones that are going to be able to rememer going in mom n pop video stores and spending hours looking threw vhs.
the vareity of the movies you review is really interesting
Some of that stuff is so cool, You should just ask them if you can buy some stuff, usually they would be happy just to get rid of it,
