DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:LONG LIVE VHS!

Some might think VHS is dead, but it certainly isn=E2=80=99t forgotten!

Back in the home video heyday, the 80=E2=80=99s became a wonderful dumping =
ground for many films and also coined a new term, =E2=80=9CStraight to home=
 video=E2=80=9D. Tapes on almost everything were released to a public despe=
rate to visit their local Mom and Pop videostores to put something, if not =
anything in their new front loading VCR=E2=80=99s.=20
...
...After the success of the DVD player, and the VHS market hitting their ze=
neth by the early 90=E2=80=99s to a more discriminating public that wouldn=
=E2=80=99t rent ALMOST anything, many of these titles and the VHS format it=
self went onto a slow death.

Join host Dion Conflict (who has one of the largest and most eclectic film =
collections in Canada) take you down memory lane with a screening of a long=
 lost =E2=80=9Cmystery tape=E2=80=9D on the big screen. BARGAIN BASEMENT VH=
S VAULT highlights those clamshell classics that have been lost in the DVD =
shuffle.

No need to rewind! No grabbing of the butter knife to pull out of your mach=
ine! Skip the disappointment of going to the corner store and seeing the =
=E2=80=9CSorry, I=E2=80=99m rented!=E2=80=9D sticker on the cardboard box!
