The original VHS box cover terrified me as a kid

LOL

I don't recall being scared by it personally. I guess I was destined to be a horror film fan. As a kid I loved to walk down the horror aisle at my video store and look at all the unique VHS covers.

Funny story though, my oldest brother has told me many times the VHS cover of this movie gave him nightmares. My dad apparenty rented it eons ago. Believe it or not, I now own that very same copy. I bought it from the video store when they got rid of their VHS like ten years ago.

My videostore had a huge giant cardboard standup of that same cover art! Well, it must have been at least 8 feet tall but when you're 8, things seem bigger.

I actually prefer the original poster art. See below.

I was always intrigued that the still of the kid and the mom was from a scene not in the movie. I don't see how it COULD be in the movie as the kid is with his sister as soon as things start getting dangerous. Perhaps there was an alternate chain of events that was abandoned. Or maybe just a publicity still...

I used to love freaking myself out walking through the horror isle as a kid.

It was crazy how those vhs box covers captured my imagination when I was very young....all the torture and unimaginable pain those people endured....I thought it was all real....goes to show how a child can percieve things that arent quite as bad when you actually watch the movie a few years later

I Loved walking down the horror section as a kid but yeah that blob remake box cover scared the crap out of me as a child.
