In this episode of the VHQuest podcast we sit down with Andrew Peru, a VHS connoisseur and lover of all things retro from Portland, Oregon. Specifically, he opens up about his early induction into horror and sci-fi films, growing up in Seattle, and sometimes having to hide some movies from his parents. What movie scared the crap out of you when you were young? We delve into this question and the exact scenes that gave us the heebie-jeebies as youngsters.
Andrew goes on to give us a peek into what it’s like to be a VHS collector in the PNW and his different tastes for tapes. With warm memories of 90s video stores, slip covers, and cool fonts, Andrew takes us into his mylar-wrapped world and the memories that make it special. And you won’t want to miss his Golden Tapes! It’s all this month on VHQuest.
Here are the images of Andrew’s Golden Tapes that were provided to accompany his interview:
