Three VHS tapes about how the world ends, back to back tonight at 9 ET. - A UFO propulsion lecture from the Roswell museum gift shop. - A prophecy video. - Final Warning, 0666 right on the barcode. Before the algorithm you had to buy this stuff direct. twitch.tv/90s_craig

Looking for some help! @90sCraig and I are searching for a full VHS recording of the WABC broadcast of the Giants vs Washington Monday Night Football game from Nov. 18, 1985. This would be the NY media market recording. If you have any leads, please let one of us know!

Recently acquired a 1992 Walt Disney Imagineering VHS labeled "Mickey’s Surprise Party Tape" . I expected generic B-roll. Instead, it was a private dinner celebrating Euro Disneyland and Mickey Steinberg, Imagineering’s executive vice president six weeks before the park opened

Found an internal Imagineering tape called Mickey’s Surprise Party with some interesting WDI executive provenance. Is this a party video? An internal presentation? Something for Mickey Steinberg? Disney history people, please inspect the evidence and tell me what I bought.

I got tired of TV shows and movies cluttering up my commercials, so I built software that deletes them automatically. Fed it a 4:46:46 tape rip. Got back 22 minutes of ads. The other 4.5 hours? Gone. As intended. Should I release it? Sample: youtu.be/vLCmeiwF9JU

Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot. 2 Hours. Is this raw footage? A highlight reel? Did someone bring a camcorder and just… film it? Was this sold at an event? I have so many questions.

Is there anything even remotely similar to Sobe on the market today?

Daylight savings means it's time to watch time travel movies! Back to the Future is the obvious call (it's my favorite) but "be excellent to each other" is the message the world needs right now.

50 states. 50 tapes. Each one has to have a local call sign on it or it doesn't count. Canada and other countries are fair game too. P.O. Box is open. Tag whoever has a dusty box of VHS tapes.

Bummed The Last Drive-In is over. Joe Bob's closing message was about filmmakers and that the world needs more horror hosts. Felt like it applied to anyone keeping something weird alive. What I heard was: "90s Craig, keep playing the tapes. The world needs you"

VHS is having a moment in the press. Great. Just don't let WATA find out.

The sleeve says Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein. But someone recorded over it and wrote "John C Newlan" on the tape. Then Vincent Price teaches you how to use a 3D camera. 9PM ET on twitch

“PG-17” - so not for kids. “Parents Approved” - so for kids? “Unrated” - so we’re just making things up now? Is this a family movie night tape… or a “wait until the kids are asleep” tape? I genuinely cannot tell who this was for.

Happy Hump Day! And yes, before anyone says it, I already know what day it is. That camel does not need to show up in my DMs again.

What random cartoon quote has been living in your head for decades? Mine is still “omelette du fromage.” #Nostalgia
