Artist Makes Mega-Sized Replica Horror VHS Tapes for Wall Display
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!
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
