This Custom ‘Halloween 2’ “Candy Corn” VHS Tape is Too Cool
It’s up to us fans to keep the spirit of VHS alive.
I write a lot of VHS-centric posts here on Bloody Disgusting, and that’s simply because it’s a format that I hold near and dear to my heart; and I know, based on responses I’ve been getting, that many of you guys feel the same way. VHS tapes introduced me to the horror genre long before DVD, Blu-ray, and digital downloads came along, and I’ll always cherish them for that.
The man behind both Warlock Video and Crimson Mask Studios has a pretty unique hobby that relates to this very topic: he personalizes the horror VHS tapes in his collection, rebuilding them from the ground up and turning those boring black tapes into colorful pieces of art. How does he do this? He swaps out the cases using parts from, well, other VHS tape cases.
While most movies released on VHS of course had black cases, some of them (particularly children’s tapes) had colorful ones. To build his latest creation, Collin used parts of white, orange, and yellow tapes, giving his Halloween 2 tape a candy corn-inspired color scheme that is just so damn cool. The innards remain the same, but the outward appearance is something special.
Says Collin:
I implore everyone to start doing this. It’s super easy and fun to personalize your collection.

Two-time BAFTA winning filmmaker Joe Wright (Hanna, “Black Mirror“) is set to direct the feature adaptation of post-apocalyptic thriller novel, Juice, Deadline reports today.
Emmy winner Abi Morgan (Shame, “Eric”) will adapt Tim Winton‘s novel for Working Title Films.
In Juice, “A young husband and father is recruited into a top-secret resistance organization, to join the ranks of militia men tasked with targeting the isolated and wealthy culprits responsible for this global catastrophe. When a mission goes wrong, he finds himself on the run, having to fight to the end to survive in this hostile world.”
It’s set in a world ravaged by climate-change disaster.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled that Tim Winton has entrusted us with his extraordinary epic,” Wright told Deadline. “The story is both a thrilling modern family saga and an urgent call to action. I cannot wait for audiences to experience it on the big screen.”
Winton added, “I’m pleased to know a filmmaker of Joe Wright’s calibre has chosen to adapt Juice for the screen. His capacity to portray the turmoil and the turning points of nations and peoples as well as private individuals distinguishes his work as a director and I’m confident that Juice is in good hands.”
Juice was initially published in October 2024 and longlisted for The Climate Fiction Prize 2026.
