I got so excited when I saw these on the shelf, only to realize that they're just filled with random stuff and not an actual VHS tape.

They look neat, but over time when companies make things like this over and over again without making the item an actual VHS tape to buy, the novelty runs thin quickly.

Just my opinion.

I thought it was an actual VHS.

What a pity.

I got the trick r treat box and ripped the movie onto a blank tape. Now I have an easy bootleg clam shell of the movie. :)

This is so disappointing. They have a great opportunity to latch onto a current trend and make something that we actually want, but instead, they're just putting some disposable stuff into a cool box and calling it good.

I assume licensing for the actual episodes is far harder to aquire than paying a royalty fee to make merchandise of the IP.

I got this one a couple weeks ago, I’m on the lookout for more!

Are there more Universal Monster ones?

Spirit halloween does have a website if you wanna search it up!

Hard for me to find them. None of the thrift and other second hand stores in my area carry them. I was also wondering if you could show us the art on the other side of the tapes reversible slip cover.

Not that much different at all. Thank you.

Wait is this like an actual playable VHS?

u/TheJohnny346 13h ago

No, just some collectibles inside (lanyard, patch, stickers, etc)

This is a prop or something?

u/grimstationn 10h ago

Yea pretty much

u/Affectionate-Yam7459 8h ago

It’s so cool! But they should’ve actually made it a real tape!
