My friend and I go to Video Update (formally LA Video) to rent a couple horror movies. When we don't find anything we want, we go to a different video store and rent THE HEADLESS EYES and BURIED ALIVE (aka BEYOND THE DARKNESS). I still can't believe they rented out their tapes with the boxes. I wish these stores were still around.

so crazy. this was my childhood video store, in west goshen. i never thought i'd see this again. your whole channel is incredible for me. i feel like i knew you, but maybe not, just lived in the exact same time in the exact same place. thank you so much for filming your life and sharing it with us
where'd you go to HS?
Thank you. It's oddly calming. I remember alternating Spice World and Labyrinth on that tv wall from open to close. Simpler times.
Good choices. I can’t remember my regular plays when I was working there but I’m sure Spice World was one of them. Did you watch ‘TV Remote Control video? Also, ‘Driving Around West Chester May 1993’ has LA Video, Dennys and even the bowling alley.
Bat's was actually a good movie. It had Flores from Starship Troopers in it.
that guy not only has a clerk's shirt, but it's of their cartoon counterparts.
i love this video, and you.
i still have that shirt.
Cool Clerks t-shirt.
Honestly can't remember if we were still renting videos in 2001. The last local video store that I can recall became a spot for Warhammer, Magic The Gathering, and a computer room for LAN parties. As soon as we got a DVD player, we were mail ordering DVDs from Netflix.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure my boyfriend & I started doing the Netflix thing around 2001 also. I remember the 1st DVD we got was O' Brother Where Art' Thou, which released in theaters in 2000. 😂
love that old box art
me too
this is fucking insane. this guy just recalled exactly what two movies he rented fom this place last and when
I don’t know about you, video stores were never the same after 1998 especially when DVDs came out maybe it was just cause I was getting older, but I never got the same feeling going to the video store to rent a movie in the 2000s the excitement, they even have plastic covers for all the movies and the covers look like they are print outs lol. I remember the original box with the Styrofoam inside at my video stores.
Especially cause all the DVD were super scratched and would skip or just not play. Vhs were bricks and almost indestructible
It's definitely because you got older. When I was a kid we would go to Blockbuster and rent the dvds and it was magical to me
I agree. at this point we were hitting video stores just to rent the obscure stuff that hadn't found its way to DVD yet.
@@xXTwigManXxGetting older? Now old were you?
I want to go back. I hate this planet now.
AMEN! We were the last normal generation that will ever inhabit this earth. Gen X isn't given enough credit for surviving the changes that have taken place in our short 40-something years of life.
Ah summer 2001. Here we have schools we call "cegep". I went to that school during that summer. A French course I had to complete hehehe
I love that you gravitated to all of the $100+ big boxes. Walk out holding hundreds of dollars of crap.
Here before this video gets loads of views
I use to work at the Franklin Video in Exton at that time.
Nice! I worked at Franklin Video Bradford Plaza in ‘98.
@@mistah_whiskahs same one! Right around the corner from the Wawa.

I hated going into those places because I hated wasting time looking for a movie. I only went in when a) I knew what I wanted to see and b) if I can buy it.
I don’t want to watch a movie that I didn’t want to own. If I wanted to watch it then it was a “to own a watch over and over” type thing.
ie: austin Powers- Star Wars 4-5-6-1-3 only, dumb and dumber, cheech & Chong, etc. classics!
In hindsight, now I miss them.
I’m from the rural parts of Maryland inbetween DC and Baltimore, this looks a lot like the place in which I grew up but it’s to be expected since you’re up in PA.
Gotta love the phrase, "back in the day", in a 23 year old video. 😂
Excellent choices.
Phantom of the Paradise
one of my all-time favorites
A day before my birthday!
The Bare Wench Project is one of the best movies made 👌🏼
what part of PA is this in?
Have you got any Movie recommendations?
Funny….. I rented more in the 2000s as I was more interested in indie/limited release titles…. Back in the 90s since I had all the movie channels…. I really didn’t rent that many movies….
same with the indie stuff. at this point we were hitting video stores just to rent the obscure stuff that hadn't found its way to DVD yet.
Fuck yes. Video Update was INFINITELY better than Blockbuster and Hollywood Video combined!
