Gotta love a knock-off so blatant it’s practically a mirror universe. 💅🎬
These are the kind of gems we stumble on while cataloging the 25,000-title Video Visions archive—proof that VHS was the Wild West of movie marketing.

🦇 Born This Day: Bram Stoker (1847) 🩸
Stoker’s 1897 Dracula gave the world its most enduring monster — from Nosferatu’s shadows to Coppola’s velvet in ’92. Pure gothic analog magic. We are currently reading David Skal's "There's Something In The Blood" & Bram was a queer 🏳️🌈 hero! #BramStoker #Dracula

📼 November 8, 1972 🎬 53 years ago tonight, a small cable experiment changed how we watched movies forever. HBO flickered to life with an NHL game. Just 365 subscribers tuned in that night, but it kicked off the age of premium cable, pay-TV, and eventually the golden age of must-see Sunday nights.

On this day in 1997, Paul Verhoeven's satirical action flick STARSHIP TROOPERS premiered. Big bugs, lots of goo and Denise Richards (how 90s). Also, did you know it had 4 sequels?!

Alan Moore turned an old English rebel into a timeless symbol — and fun fact: Guy Fawkes’ real name was Guido.
