1st printing. Edited by Stephen Jones. Includes Contributions by Peter Atkins, Barry Forshaw, David McGillivray, Professor Sir Christopher Frayling, author of Vampyres and Nightmare: The B, Lisa Morton, Adam Simon, Ramsey Campbell, Kim Newman, Luigi Gozzi, Graham Humphreys, R. C. Matheson, David J. Schow, Brinke Stevens, Tim Lucas, Mick Garris, Stephen King, Stephen R. Bissette and C. Courtney Joyner. A jubilant celebration of the greatest VHS cover art in all its gory, glory -- which inspired, scared, and delighted generations of movie-goers. For anyone who frequented a video store in the 80s or 90s, the styles are instantly recognizable: surprisingly beautiful paintings of fanged and winged monsters; ridiculously lurid depictions of young men and women in peril; illustrations so incompetently drawn as to qualify as outsider art; absurdly overstuffed photomontages. The home video revolution was accompanied by an explosion of all kinds of cover art, embodying the anything-goes ethos of an era when obscure, cheaply produced movies—usually with supernatural storylines and bottom-drawer special effects—could be distributed throughout the world and watched from the comfort of ones living room. Videotapes from Hell provides a fascinating illustrated history of VHS cover art in all its glory, from direct-to-video oddities to major studio releases. Drawing on the expansive collection of world-renowned horror expert Stephen Jones, it collects nearly 500 pieces of period artwork, accompanied by detailed captions that give the history of the movie and its release dates in video format. In addition to front-cover images and full-sleeve spreads, it includes examples of promotional posters and freestanding original artwork that was incorporated into box designs. Including a foreword from beloved cult director Joe Dante (Gremlins, The Burbs) and commentary from horror luminaries such as Ramsey Campbell, Mick Garris, Stephen King and many more, Videotapes from Hell is a garish and jubilant celebration of a lost genre ripe for rediscovery. Hardcover, 224 pages, full color. Cover price $39.95.
