There is a hand in House and it’s flushed down the toilet. Watched it as a kid and for the better part of a decade I would not sit completely down on a toilet. Had to hover in case a hand crawled up the pipe. Got to the point I forgot why I was doing it. Then I saw the movie again and the trauma came rushing back.
😂You know what I mean... He's not as pronounced, it's his eye, the glove extended... On 2, he's literally popping out of the damn cover and 5 is a baby shower invite.
Man, shoutout to y'all for the love on the NOES2 cover. That art of Freddy "peeking" around the corner with the flames behind him used to TERRIFY me as a kid 😭😭
Fantastic list... The House movie covers are timeless.... I found myself thinking about the VHS box for Phantasm, but that was made in 1979... Thanks for this video!
Some other great VHS covers are Demons (1985), Pet Sematary (1989), Child's Play (1988), Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986), A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 (1987), and A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 (1988).
Night of the Demons cover used to freak me out. I never rented it as a kid cause of it. I finally see it as a grown man on 4K, now it''s one of my favorite horrors.
The Company of Wolves (which in my opinion, the movie did not live up to) Don't Go In The House Carrie (with that split-screen image) Scanners Those are the 4 that fascinated me as a kid.
@mymangodfrey Great choices and agree with you on Company (though, I wouldn't call it terrible or anything). Don't Go in the House scares Matt and I today 😀
When I was a kid in the 80's/90's, I used to always see this creepy horror cover in the movie rental stores in my town.I can't remember the name, but I remember it was a girl facing forward with part of her face missing exposing her skull underneath. If anyone knows the title of the movie, let me know.
My favorite was always phantasm 2. Seeing that poster displayed inside the theater was mind blowing. Wasn’t used to seeing many horror posters displayed in the theater. Still love that artwork. Also return of the living dead with the punk zombies spray painting the gravestone. Perfection to me.
I remember going in a rental video store with my parents and there were all of the sections of comedy, drama, action and horror movies. I just couldn't go near the horror section all of those vhs covers frightened me. But now these covers are classics and I appreciate them.
Was there at the dawn of VHS in the early 80’s. August 30 1983 we rented our first movie: “For Your Eyes Only”. From then on we visited our local video stores about every weekend and things went crazy when the father of a classmate opened one about next doors. Thanks for bringing back all these forgotten movie covers @4K_Kings
@pieterbalk-ht7kq My friends (especially girlfriends) flat-out HATED going to the video store with me 😂. I'd look at everything, check for posters, used tapes for sale, read credits on boxes, etc.
@ I fortunately had friends and later girlfriend(s) with whom I went to the “Videotheek” (as they were called in Dutch) regularly. Especially with girlfriends not always the movies I prefered to see. But hey, how many times can most people watch The Warriors, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elmstreet, Dirty Harry, Alligator or the entire James Bond series?😄😉😂
@@pieterbalk-ht7kq There are countless films I endured back then due to the significant other of the time picking... Every now and then there'd be a gem, but the memories formed over films like Cruel Intentions or most garbage they chose are forever.
I love this topic so much. I didn't realize what a universal experience this was. I was born in 1981, and whenever my parents took me to the video store, I'd wander into the horror section and obsess over the covers. Some that really stuck with me were April Fool's Day ( I loved that a woman had her hair braided into a noose on that one), Dolls (still remember the line - They walk. They talk. They kill.), Sleepaway Camp with the knife stabbed through the sneaker, Dead Alive (I always thought it was a robot in the mouth of the person on the cover), and of course Chopping Mall with the bag of body parts. There's so many more and I wonder if my parents ever noticed their little girl obsessing over gory VHS cassettes. 😂
I was born in 81 also. I loved all those movies. Sleepaway Camp 2 was one of my favorites. I probably rented every horror movie from every video store in my area. I miss those days. Going to the video store to pick out movies with friends or family. Stocking up on snacks on the way home. The movies were so much better back then.
Frankenhooker was one of the best covers. There were so many great ones back then. I must've rented every single horror movie available when I was a kid. The Stuff, Serpent and the Rainbow, Re-Animator, I could go on for days.
You guys are so spot on with all of your picks. I too have a framed Night of the Demons poster that I love seeing every day in my office. Demons 2 might be the best though!
This was great. Took me down memory lane. No doubt my experiences in video stores back in the day plays a huge part in my physical media collecting today. Much respect to the artists, concept designers, photographers, etc. that created so many iconic VHS covers. For me, when it comes to horror, Fright Night is my personal #1. Yeah, something about those teeth just scared the living daylights out of me as a kid. Now, as an adult, I appreciate the beauty of such a perfectly designed image. Iconic. Love the channel. Keep up the good work! ✌🏽
I have great memories of waking up and down the horror isles of Hollywood Video 📼 and Blockbuster. I even remembered the ole mom & pop dingy lookin video rental store that used to be super close to my grandmas house lol I rented all the Halloween’s, Friday’s, Nightmares. But the one franchise i didn’t dare to watch was Night of the Demons. Those covers freaked me out man! Especially the 2nd one! Now, I have all 3 on vhs 📼 and they’re lots of fun! Can’t beat the old horror movie covers!!
Nice list. Night of the Demons and Demons 2 both had amazing art, (Night of the Demons 2, has even better cover art in my opinion.), and both movies are amazing. All of my personal favorite Cover Art came in the 90's, have you done a list on that subject yet? My 80's Horror Cover Art Top 5 5. The Gate 4. Near Dark 3. Trick or Treat 2. Demon Wind 1. Halloween 3 +1. Monster Squad
This was our first video discussing VHS cover art. The '80s covers are near and dear to our heart, but we might do a Part 2 in the near future for the '90s. What were some of your favorites from that decade?
@4K_Kings I feel like the Horror Genre has typically blessed us with amazing cover art throughout its history. Well..., maybe not during the Scream, I Know What, Urban Legends, Valentine, timeframe. As for the 90s, VHS Cover Art 15. Sleepwalkers 14. The Willies 13. Demonic Toys 12. Pumpkinhead 2: Bloodwings 11. Frankenhooker Tie 10. Freddys Dead/ Jason goes to Hell. 9. Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh 8. SGT. Kabukiman 7. Children of the Night 6. Arcade 5. The Granny 4. Society 3. Wes Cravens New Nightmare 2. Meet the Applegates 1. Highway to Hell +1. Sometimes They Come Back
I was born near the dawn of the DVD era, but I do remember having that vhs of Fright Night. The artwork is amazing and I watched that movie way too much as a kid 😂
Great video dudes! You guys are hilarious. I’d definitely have Child’s Play on my list. That shit messed me up as a kid. My uncle thought it was fun to torment me as a kid by cutting out the newspaper clipping of Child’s Play 2 and taping it to the front door of my house!
I love Demons, but to this day (and you're our forever day-one, Marc, so you may remember this), I haven't seen Demons 2. I watched a portion of the 4K, but didn't go back to finish... Demons though, is the definition of rad, I agree. One of my favorite last scenes in a horror movie ever.
Tales from the Crypt for me (The British one from the 70s). The Skull with just one Eyeball left looking right at you used to freak me out. As for the 80s, I would go with City of the Living Dead, The Howling, Dead and Buried, New York Ripper and Hellraiser. Also, You got to watch Demons 2 (and Demons 1). Think of them as a Italian Evil Dead, but in a Cinema and a Tower Block.
I'm probably old enough to face my fears now, but the art for Demons 2 and Night of the Demons had that big of an impact on me. The art for City of the Living Dead is also iconic!
I remember my parents buying our first VHS player a week after my 10th birthday. When we went to the video shop my mum would always tell me off for "accidentally" going down the horror aisle and scaring myself stupid! 😆 The VHS covers that always got me were Nightmare on Elm Street 2, 3, 4 and 5, Michael Jackson's Thriller and Eraserhead.
I was about to get pissed because i thought you werent going to mention Night of the Demons and the whoaaaa, 1st spot on the list, amazing, that cover gave me nightmares everytime i walked on the videoclub and passed by its hall
The good ol' VHS days of horror. I also enjoyed House 2 more than the original. Seems like Nightmare 2 has gained more appreciation over the years. Freddy was possibly at his most sinister in that one. Halloween 2, Trick or Treat, Phantasm 2, Texas Chainsaw 2, Halloween 3: Season of the Witch, and Nightmare 3 are some covers that come to mind.
Best VHS cover in my opinion is The Kindred (1987). That creature in the baby bottle was just so damn cool. I must add, I don't know if there is just something wrong with me or what but I was never scared of horror movie artwork or even the movies themselves. I just always loved horror. I thought the movies were fun and I loved the gore and kills and especially the cool final girls. Never had a single nightmare. I think I've always been much more afraid of real life. Humans in real life are scary. Movies are just fun. Anyway, some of my favorite covers: 1. The Kindred (1987) 2. Dolls 3. Nightmare on Elm Street (all the sequels had great covers too) 4. Mortuary 5. Ghoulies 6. Killer Party 7. Offerings 8. Chud 9. The Howling 10. Pumpkinhead
Thank you, Jordan... The first House is fun as well, just a little scarier/serious in tone. Not by a crazy amount, but it's noticeable... Matt & I truly do appreciate you taking the time to catch up, comment and all. We know you're in school, had a baby (Congratulations, again) and on to big things, so thank you again for all your love 😎
I distinctly remember being at a neighbor's tag sale when I was about 9 or 10 rummaging through a box of VHS tapes and saw that cover for the first time and it freaked me out big time. I had never heard of it prior and seeing that image with the tagline "Santa's Here" was just... I can't even really put it into words.
hope you guys are doing well, wife just had a baby this week so we been busy! I still have limited time for youtube and when I do I check out 4K KINGS!
Hey guys fyi an upcoming hardcover book you might want to pick up is - Videotapes From Hell: A Visual History of Cult, Collectible, and Crazy Video Covers. Including a foreword from beloved cult director Joe Dante! Out in January was supposed to have been out in October but got pushed now until January looks like. I preordered this back in April lol.
14:00 I thought night of the demons was part 3 of demons but was disappointed that it was not. I think it's called CHURCH or something, the true part 3... they talk about it on special features of part 2
Some interesting choices. It's a shame you guys didn't get artwork from Graham Humphreys in the 80's, his artwork was iconic here in the UK and still is, I think pretty much my top 5 would be art/sleeves crested by him, his most iconic creation is the original pre-cert Evil Dead VHS sleeve, the artwork and his unique style dree me to that movie! Fun times.
Natas: The Reflection had a killer poster, but the movie itself was a total snooze fest. The Dead Pit's box cover art had an embossed zombie with eyes that lit up, so of course you had to rent it, but in this case, the movie was actually decent.
@@CarlKeeling1881 While memorable and badass, we were focusing more on the ones that scared us... ROTLD was (and is) awesome, but I wasn't scared by it as a child. The first ROTLD is a rare case of the movie living up to (and possibly exceeding) the cover... 2, not so much.
@@russceasetheruss5360 my fault. I remember going to the movies as a kid and the Fright Night poster was in the poster holder on the building. It was very cool to see that one in the video. Brought back memories. This was a great video thanks for posting it.

What about Humongous that cover definitely creeped me out in the video store.
555
Hearing someone giving some love to House II the Second Story warms my heart
The realest time Bill Maher ever gave us...
Company of Wolves and the original Demons were two that always freaked me out!
Its a 90s movie but the Ice Cream Man cover with Clint Howard on it still creeps me out!
70s 80s video covers/sleeves were so dope back then... The artwork is amazing
There is a hand in House and it’s flushed down the toilet. Watched it as a kid and for the better part of a decade I would not sit completely down on a toilet. Had to hover in case a hand crawled up the pipe. Got to the point I forgot why I was doing it. Then I saw the movie again and the trauma came rushing back.
"Dream Warriors, he's barely on it..." Freddy is literally the size of Godzilla on that cover. His face takes up a third of it. 🤣🤣
😂You know what I mean... He's not as pronounced, it's his eye, the glove extended... On 2, he's literally popping out of the damn cover and 5 is a baby shower invite.
Man, shoutout to y'all for the love on the NOES2 cover. That art of Freddy "peeking" around the corner with the flames behind him used to TERRIFY me as a kid 😭😭
@christhomas1806 I look at it now and it's nothing, but as a kid, holy shit 😂
Happy Birthday To Me? Awesome cover!
Fantastic list... The House movie covers are timeless.... I found myself thinking about the VHS box for Phantasm, but that was made in 1979... Thanks for this video!
Thanks for the comment! Glad you enjoyed it! It truly was a magical time.
Dudes! ya gotta watch Demons 1, and Demons 2. They are so fun!
Matt needs to watch both, I need to watch 2.
Pumpkinhead!!! The moment I saw the box, I had to see the movie.
Some other great VHS covers are Demons (1985), Pet Sematary (1989), Child's Play (1988), Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986), A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 (1987), and A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 (1988).

The Company of Wolves (which in my opinion, the movie did not live up to)
Don't Go In The House
Carrie (with that split-screen image)
Scanners
Those are the 4 that fascinated me as a kid.
@mymangodfrey Great choices and agree with you on Company (though, I wouldn't call it terrible or anything). Don't Go in the House scares Matt and I today 😀
YES SCANNERS

Not an 80s cover, but in the 90s the Dentist 2 was great.

Creepshow 2 poster artwork actually intrigued me more than Creepshow 1. Great vid!
Both are really excellent.

Love all the covers you mentioned as well! This was definitely a universal '80s experience

The Stuff! Great cover!
Frankenhooker had a talking box, right? You pushed a button and it said "Wanna date?"
Fright Night… Couldn’t agree more. What a piece of art. Thank god the steelbook uses it instead of some revisionist crap.
Great video, guys.
@@richsadler2661 There would have been riots had they commissioned new artwork.

I'm not into collecting vhs tapes, but damn, those were some really badass covers.
I was born near the dawn of the DVD era, but I do remember having that vhs of Fright Night. The artwork is amazing and I watched that movie way too much as a kid 😂
Jonathan Stark was awesome in both Fright Night and House 2.
John Ratzenberger as a cable guy and part time adventurer is classic.
Great video dudes! You guys are hilarious. I’d definitely have Child’s Play on my list. That shit messed me up as a kid. My uncle thought it was fun to torment me as a kid by cutting out the newspaper clipping of Child’s Play 2 and taping it to the front door of my house!
@@film_bird84 😂 As a kid of that era, I feel for you... but as an adult now, your uncle is hilarious.
I don’t remember horror vhs covers at the video store, I was always in the section that you had to walk through the saloon door to get to
Child’s Play 3 scared the living s**t out of me when I was a kid.
Demons and Demons 2 are rad movies.
Critters and Fright Night are my two favorite covers.
I love Demons, but to this day (and you're our forever day-one, Marc, so you may remember this), I haven't seen Demons 2. I watched a portion of the 4K, but didn't go back to finish... Demons though, is the definition of rad, I agree. One of my favorite last scenes in a horror movie ever.
No Dead Pit? With the light up eyes?
Dead pit Bret Léonard
I remember passing Evil Dead 2…I wanted to rent it but they didn’t have the 1st Evil Dead.
Tales from the Crypt for me (The British one from the 70s). The Skull with just one Eyeball left looking right at you used to freak me out. As for the 80s, I would go with City of the Living Dead, The Howling, Dead and Buried, New York Ripper and Hellraiser.

The one where Michael is in the middle of a group of zombies? The Making of Thriller VHS? I loved that as a kid.
@@russceasetheruss5360 That's the one!
I like The original Nightmare on Elm Street VHS cover from the 80's is brilliant. 😀👍📼
Honorable mention, Chopping Mall. The cover was very misleading to the movie but awesome
I hate the movie to this day because of that... fucking robots?!?! After that badass cover?!?!
I was about to get pissed because i thought you werent going to mention Night of the Demons and the whoaaaa, 1st spot on the list, amazing, that cover gave me nightmares everytime i walked on the videoclub and passed by its hall
It's like they polled children nationally to see what terrifies them most and cobbled the cover together in honor of their studies.
You haven't seen Demons 2 or Night of the Demons? There goes your horror cred.
The artwork's kind of nah.
The good ol' VHS days of horror. I also enjoyed House 2 more than the original. Seems like Nightmare 2 has gained more appreciation over the years. Freddy was possibly at his most sinister in that one. Halloween 2, Trick or Treat, Phantasm 2, Texas Chainsaw 2, Halloween 3: Season of the Witch, and Nightmare 3 are some covers that come to mind.
The Season of the Witch cover art rocks.
The day I learned that TCM2 cover was a Breakfast Club parody, I lost my mind. After YEARS of seeing that, I had never put two and two together.
Best VHS cover in my opinion is The Kindred (1987). That creature in the baby bottle was just so damn cool. I must add, I don't know if there is just something wrong with me or what but I was never scared of horror movie artwork or even the movies themselves. I just always loved horror. I thought the movies were fun and I loved the gore and kills and especially the cool final girls. Never had a single nightmare. I think I've always been much more afraid of real life. Humans in real life are scary. Movies are just fun. Anyway, some of my favorite covers:
1. The Kindred (1987)
2. Dolls
3. Nightmare on Elm Street (all the sequels had great covers too)
4. Mortuary
5. Ghoulies
6. Killer Party
7. Offerings
8. Chud
9. The Howling
10. Pumpkinhead
Demons 2 and TCM 2 are my fav
sick HOUSE tattoo, I only ever saw part 2
Thank you, Jordan... The first House is fun as well, just a little scarier/serious in tone. Not by a crazy amount, but it's noticeable... Matt & I truly do appreciate you taking the time to catch up, comment and all. We know you're in school, had a baby (Congratulations, again) and on to big things, so thank you again for all your love 😎
I still have and watch the VHS version of Night of the Demons. Movies like this are always better on VHS.
I love Creepshow, Evil Dead 2, Blob remake, Zombi 2, and Night of the Demons and own all on dvd or blu ray.
The Silent Night Deadly Night VHS cover is awesome. 😀👍📼
I distinctly remember being at a neighbor's tag sale when I was about 9 or 10 rummaging through a box of VHS tapes and saw that cover for the first time and it freaked me out big time. I had never heard of it prior and seeing that image with the tagline "Santa's Here" was just... I can't even really put it into words.
It is truly iconic.

Congratulations, Jordan!
Congratulations!
Halloween 4 VHS cover is fantastic. 😀👍🎃📼
Did anyone else's local video store have the Fright Night cover in rhe shape of a coffin? Much bigger than the other vhs covers?
@@kellygilbert736 I've never seen that, but I'd love to.
@@russceasetheruss5360 turns out it was for fright night 2. Whoops. They both have the same illustrated femme spirit thing up the top.
I agree that Fright Night is not that scary. But it is a great movie.
5:05 Freddys pinball was scary af!!!!!

Great vid!! Does anyone know the store at 0:55 with the red banner saying horror??? I know I've been in one of those in the late 80s / early 90s
I think the movie is just OK but I always loved the cover for the flick The Video Dead (1987)
Yes!!! That cover is incredible and I like the movie! It delivered on the cover.
These guys are cool as fuk
This is a great video idea, do you mind if I borrow the idea and do a video of my own on the subject?
Help yourself! Let us know when your video is up and we'll check it out!

@@CarlKeeling1881 While memorable and badass, we were focusing more on the ones that scared us... ROTLD was (and is) awesome, but I wasn't scared by it as a child.
The first ROTLD is a rare case of the movie living up to (and possibly exceeding) the cover... 2, not so much.
@@russceasetheruss5360 my fault. I remember going to the movies as a kid and the Fright Night poster was in the poster holder on the building. It was very cool to see that one in the video. Brought back memories. This was a great video thanks for posting it.
