Susan is obsessed with horror VHS tapes. So she makes GIANT ones.
After we ran an article earlier this week on custom-made horror VHS art pieces, we got an e-mail from another artist named Susan, who also creates highly unique art pieces that pay tribute to the never-dead VHS format we all hold so near and dear. Susan, well, she makes mega-sized VHS tapes, replicating horror tapes in a much larger scale.
Susan explained to us, “I sculpted a giant VHS tape out of plaster and drywall. Then I took it to a plastics company in town to design the tooling based off of my sculpture so that it can be thermoformed, thus making it light weight, three dimensional, and have tabs installed on the back so that the tape can be displayed by hanging on the wall.”
“The Giant VHS tape is five times bigger than a normal VHS tape, measuring in at 37″ L x 20″ H x 2″ Thick,” she added. “It also has clear plastic windows installed, just like a real VHS tape. My friend designs the custom labels for the tapes.”
The massive VHS tapes, intended for wall display, are sold through the Etsy Shop Exhumed VHS, going for $104 each. They come completely assembled with “Be Kind, Please Rewind” and green “Horror” stickers, and can be outfitted with custom movie labels upon request. Otherwise, they feature a standard rainbow “VHS” label.
You rock, Susan. Thanks for keeping the spirit of VHS alive and well!
