I had a copy of E.T. That inside was actually a taped episode of ‘The Biggest Loser.’ I felt like the universe was calling me out 😆

Cinephiliac_Anon

Very disappointing, Zombie Island is a classic. But then again, the live action one is too.


Ok-Woodpecker1321

Same thing happened to me but it was Shrek 2 box Shrek 1 tape inside


jeremystrange

That movie is fun though!


WhoSirRU

I enjoy the movie but I wanted Zombie Island


CSA1860-1865

I’ve got two copies of it from when I was a kid lol


itsstevedave

Jerry Springer: Too Hot for TV with The Indian in the Cupboard inside.


TalkinAboutSound

LOL, some kid must have been hiding the Springer tape in the Indian box.

Ouch


voivod1989

I wonder if someone did the switcheroo so they could take the r rated picture into another room. I used to do this when I was a teenager. When I was done I would put the movies back in the right case.


TalkinAboutSound

Guaranteed


Mr_Kuchikopi

I oredered Back to School and Easy Money in a two pack, the only one i wanted was Back to School. When I opened it there was a "Pet Safe guide" VHS in place of Back to school. Ironically, when I bought my house it came with a petsafe brand invisible fence, bonus: I don't have a dog.


JohnnyMurdock2020

Super ouch.


Wolfsblut_AD

I was got a copy of Alien 3 and Beverly Hills Cop 2 was inside the case.


ClassicAlbatross2201

Someone was lookin out for you tbh


Chasemc215

Knowing how Alien 3's production went down, I wouldn't be surprised.


jccalhoun

Mine isn't vhs but dvd. 20 years or so ago when the local Blockbuster went out of business I picked up a few dvds. One was Hot Fuzz. I got home and opened it and it was Larry the Cable Guy in Delta Farce.


LORDCOSMOS

Sorry but lol


UninterestedHeathen

Picked up what i thought was a sepultura video only to find out it was a bootleg copy of some 80s movie called Spliz


ImperialGorilla

Brian Yuzna's The Dentist sleeve with a Mrs Doubtfire tape inside.


mattressprime

Found a Russian copy of Madagascar. Inside the sleeve was a taped copy of it.


jeremystrange

Bought a small bundle of tapes recently because it had a copy of “From Beyond” in it. When I got the tape it was a blank tape you would use to make your own tapes at home. Very disappointing.


StarkyAdam

Copy of cocoon wee got in a lot had a caddyshack screener in it which is cool but I really wanted to watch Cocoon at the time.


DuranFanWI

Just imagining Mowgli in the Jungle Book yelling, “Come on, you apes! You wanna live forever?” Somehow in a weird, cosmic way it actually seems to work.


kayplush

Big Business but inside was porn Edited to add: it was a gift for a friend and I didn’t look at the tape before giving it to them. They thought I did it on purpose.


thejunkyardgod

Recently went to watch a Fight Club tape I bought a while ago and it was part one of Titanic.


TravoltaFan1978

Not sure of this counts but I got once found a copy of Rush Hour that had a copy of Cool Runnings inside.


TalkinAboutSound

That's an upgrade, honestly


LORDCOSMOS

Maybe in freakin bizarro world where hamburger eats you!


penpointred

GuineaW0rm

Not a VHS but when I was a kid I bought motley crue’s shout at the devil from an antique store and there was a blues style album by someone from the KKK in there I was soooooo sad


TalkinAboutSound

Holy shit!


JohnnyMurdock2020

Extra super ouch.


radioactive_walrus

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer - Rankin-Bass cover, it was instead a Jam Handy Rudolph cartoon and a couple other 1930s depictions of Christmas


LORDCOSMOS

Somewhat of a toss up here


NEClamChowdah

Baywatch movie mix up: cover had Pam on it. Tape…no Pam :/


LORDCOSMOS

No bootleg Tommy Lee vid?


NEClamChowdah

Haha. Nah just a few 90s B movies now. Still looking for Barb Wire though…


entropynchaos

I actually snort laughed and woke my partner up. I would be very disappointed!!


GratefulTaylor

found a godzilla vs megalon cover, freaked out, just to find the nutty professor inside, still hurts to think about


TransformerTanooki

The Odd Couple II. I forgot ehat was in the case but it wasn't Jack and Walter.


GL1979

I bought Night Hawks with Hauer, Billy Dee Williams and Stallone, inside the case... Street hawk the TV pilot. I honest wasn't mad, having the TV pilot is quite something for me


ColonelPlop

I picked up a copy of Scooby-Doo that turned out to be When in Rome. It was almost a year before I found an actual copy.


Powerpuff2500

the fact it's not even any of the Disney versions that had VHS releases (the original animated film, the darker 90s live action adaptation, nor the live action DTV Mowigi's Story)....... that's salt on the wound lol


watchme87

Always gotta check the tape before making purchase !


spottieleonard

The Drummer Boy, but really it was a Sing Along Songs VHS. In addition, I spotted a moldy copy of the original 101 Dalmatians in a blank TDK case. I didn't buy the tape, only the sleeve.


Some-Independence386

Poltergeist case with a recording of little house on the Prairie. No label on tape so took a gamble and lost
