Unique PHANTASM 3 Japanese VHS Shows Up On EBAY

Japanese VHS copies have the best artwork

VHS, or Video Home System, has seen a surprising resurgence in recent years due to a number of factors. Foremost among these is nostalgia, as a significant portion of the population who grew up with VHS tapes in the 80s and 90s now have disposable income to re-purchase these childhood memories. Furthermore, there has been a broader trend towards physical media in the digital age. Much like the revival of vinyl records, VHS taps into a desire for tangible, unique products that digital media simply cannot replicate. Collectors also value the rare, out-of-print titles that only exist on VHS. Lastly, the lo-fi aesthetic of VHS has a certain charm and visual identity, offering a stark contrast to the ultra-high definition of today's digital video, making it popular among artists and filmmakers looking for a vintage look.
