Terror on Tape

Heres an excellent selection of all the classic gore flicks that came out on continental video back in the day, such as nightmare, vampire hookers, the deadly spawn, 2,000 maniacs, and lots more. Cameron Mitchell does a nice job as the demented video store owner who shows various customers clip of his best goodies. A very cool movie to watch on Halloween or with a group of friends, or as an opportunity to see about some of these great films that are highlighted throughout, also had an excellent strong nostalgic 'video stores of the 80's' feel, ha ha. If you are looking for the ultimate fright clip collection, look no further than terror on tape. a must. 9/10

Terror On Tape is an awesome hour and a half of violence, sex, exploitation and gore! I highly recommend this compilation to anyone that loves the grimy/grotesque aspects of horror films.

A great collection of clips from long gone Continental Video. I mean come on, how bad can it be? You have the wonderfully drunken madman himself Cameron Mitchell and the lovely Michelle Bauer and loads of bad gore clips! The only thing that could make this more fun is Rondo Hatton and a choir of shroom tripping midgets (and no i'm not talking about a Alejandro Jodorowsky movie!) Oh yeah , and to the dude that said "no doubt inspired by the success of Terror in the Aisles", actually this came out a year before Terror in the Aisles reared it's ugly head.

Anywho, a cool tape of a time that has sadly disappeared.

This is the film I credit with helping to mold me into the depraved little horror movie ghoul that I am today. Released at the height of the Video Craze "Terror on Tape" is a shameless vehicle for the now defunct Continental Video. In the spirit of classics like "Terror in the Aisles" "Filmgore" and "Coming Soon" it contains numerous clips from some of the most infamous horror flicks ever made. All horror fans know that during this time period, in the realms of horror, there were several fondly remembered and now bankrupt video distributors of the time who specialized in our genre. Names like Vestron Video, Gorgon Video, Wizard Video and of course Continental come to mind and bring forth a flood of blood soaked memories. This particular film introduced me, as a second generation fan, to the legendary Herschell Gordon Lewis with clips from his classic "Gore Trilogy" ("Blood Feast", "2000 Maniacs", and "Color Me Blood Red"). It also introduced me to one of my personal favorites "Return of the Aliens: The Deadly Spawn", brought the hidden horror gem "Scalps"into my life, subjected me to the pure insanity, horror and hilarity that is "Vampire Hookers" and it conned me into rushing out to rent hideous cinematic upchuck such as "The Eerie Midnight Horror Show", and "To The Devil A Daughter". Of course, I can never forgive "Terror on Tape" for introducing the hideous film maker's abomination known as "Cathy's Curse" (Why oh why does this retched film keep getting randomly thrust into my face?) "Terror on Tape" changed my life and if you can locate a copy I can promise it will do the same for you!

Cameron Mitchell play the owner of an all night video store that specializes in extreme horror movies. Various customers come in, looking for "something special" and Mitchell plays them the goriest clips from the goriest movies around. The reason for these compilations is to introduce the video viewer to what is out there. It forms a nice sampler for the unadventurous who prefer to have heard SOMETHING about a video before renting or buying it. It has some classics as well as many obscure movies. Recommended if you like campy videos or remember the heyday of the mom and pop video store.
