Ahhh... the smell of old video tapes.
I can't believe how many tapes I must have owned back in the day and how much space they must have taken up. Of course pretty much all of them are gone but I kept one video tape - an old ex-rental VHS tape of Dawn of the Dead (which was massively cut of its gore) which was the very tape my parents rented back in 1980-1 and allowed me to watch (I must have been allowed to rent it several times, back in the day when an underage kid could get away with renting a horror film). When the shop was getting rid of its old tapes (it had escaped the mass banning and burnings somehow) I bought it from them and have kept it for nostalga reasons (it even has the old cardboard Alpha video box), it must be about 30 years old now.
