VHS tapes are generally pretty cheap, if you happen to be on a budget (and who isn't?).

Another plus of VHS is that "original" versions of films can be found cheaply in this format (unless some Ebay seller realizes he's got something rare and prices it up like crazy). There's quite a few films now that have been altered and are not available in their original form on current formats. The Star Wars films are a great example of this.

What they said sums me up on the topic. A lot of horror flicks just look better on VHS too, the slickness of DVD just makes some effects look fuckin' stupid. Not to mention some of the poor excuses for transfers to DVD that have popped up. I'm buying a heap of VHS while its still about and cheap.... kinda reminds me of the switch from LP to CD - a lot of people will be kicking themselves over those LPs they got rid off to change to CD that are now worth a small fortune.
Last movie I watched on VHS was Invasion USA. Richard Lynch is a dope ass bad guy.

VHS RULES!

To be honest I prefer DVD, but only because I'm too lazy to lounge about waiting for videos to rewind. I must admit though that some of those eighties horror transfer look strange transferred to DVD. I've got that Offerings on DVD and if anyone's wearing red in the transfer it's like watching some psychadelic film...

Just popping in The Maltese Falcon...
