Rented a cabin in the Poconos and found a stash of VHS tapes from the 90s
We rented this run-down cabin near Lake Wallenpaupack last weekend, and hidden in a closet was a cardboard box full of VHS tapes. I'm talking about stuff like "The Garbage Pail Kids Movie" and "Killer Tomatoes Strike Back." The owners probably left them there 20 years ago and forgot. My buddy popped one in the old CRT TV in the corner, and the tracking lines made the whole thing look even more ridiculous. It felt like a time capsule of bad movie nights. Have you ever stumbled on a random collection like that somewhere unexpected?

Oh wow, nothing says "relaxing weekend getaway" like a crusty copy of Killer Tomatoes Strike Back. That's not a time capsule, that's a biological hazard with bonus tracking lines. At least you can tell people you paid good money for a cabin that came with its own 1992 Blockbuster reject pile.

Man, I feel personally attacked by this. My own collection of VHS tapes from the 90s is basically a museum of questionable life choices. Pretty sure I still have a copy of Surf Ninjas somewhere that's held together by old pizza grease and pure spite. But hey, at least that cabin's entertainment selection is honest about what it offers, unlike my dating profile.
