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.
Check out the VHS creation below, along with a custom Halloween 3 tape he also made!

‘Ebenezer’ Official Trailer – Ti West Turns Johnny Depp into ‘A Christmas Carol’ Icon Scrooge
Ti West (X, Pearl, MaXXXine) is back with the upcoming Ebenezer starring Johnny Depp, a fresh new take on the classic tale of A Christmas Carol from Charles Dickens.
Johnny Depp will play Ebenezer Scrooge in Ti West’s Ebenezer, and Paramount is bringing the film to theaters on November 13, 2026. Watch the official trailer down below.
The tagline? “The name you know. The story you don’t.”
Andrea Riseborough (Possessor), Ian McKellen (The Lord of the Rings), Tramell Tillman (“Severance”), Rupert Grint (Harry Potter franchise), Daisy Ridley (Star Wars franchise), Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games franchise), Charlie Murphy (“Peaky Blinders”), Arthur Conti (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice), and Ellie Bamber (“Willow”) also star.
Deadline had detailed in a recent report, “This version, a thrilling ghost story set in Dickens’ London, follows one man’s supernatural journey to face his past, present and future and fight for a second chance. Stephen Deuters and Jason Forman to executive produce.”
Nathaniel Halpern wrote the adaptation for Ti West to direct.
Written by Charles Dickens, the classic tale of A Christmas Carol has been adapted for the screen countless times over the years, with notable film adaptations including Scrooge (1951) starring Alastair Sim, Scrooge (1970) starring Albert Finney, A Christmas Carol (1984) starring George C. Scott, Scrooged (1988) starring Bill Murray, The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) starring Michael Caine, and A Christmas Carol (2009) starring Jim Carrey.
A Christmas Carol is classically a period piece ghost story. As Luiz H.C. wrote here on Bloody Disgusting, “Isn’t it weird how the single most influential piece of Christmas-related media is technically a horror story? One can even make the argument that Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol paved the way for the rise of Victorian Spiritualism during the following decade.”
