Another gem from my childhood!!! And i remember how i always thought the cover looked so badass!!! I won't miss the videostore as we know them now,but remember the videostore back in the vhs days?!?!they were so cool and i remember one in particular in my town called Jumbo Video.It closed probably 15yrs ago or so. When you rented movies there they gave you pink popcorn and also every section was decorated to go with the the theme.For example the horror section was a room,kinda like the porn section,where you had to go into a more "private area" and it was all decorated like a haunted house with props everywhere and all!!!every time i went there i would gaze at that cover and my mom would say "ew!don't even think about it young lady!!!"and send me to the kids section that kinda looked like a playground... The 80s were bizarre.We hated them because everything was fluorescent and teased hair and such..but at the same time the cartoons were pretty badass,the movies were awesome and we had the best toys ever! Where are you skeletor castle that got lost in the sand pit at my cottage?!?!?!?!
I finally saw The Nest because it played on tv late at night and my extraordinary grandma ,to whom i owe my passion for horror , taped it and when we'd spend time at the cottage she would let me watch all the movies she had taped especially for me. I'd stare at the tv in awe while she knit and every once in a while she'd look over her glasses during the gruesome parts and be like "i hope you don't believe all that crap because it's FAKE!" and she'd giggle!!!
