A wave of totally righteous rewind-inclined excitement has recently rolled through the Videovore community in response a custom-painted, fully functional VCR from artist Sorce122, paying homage to one of the most iconic horror flicks of all-time: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre!

my love of painted movie poster and video cover box art. Also, a hatred of boring ass silver and black electronics. VCRs are more than that now (and they always were)… they mean more to people than DVD or Blu-ray, IMO. They have, hold, and project character with every burp, glitch, and picture roll. To me, they scream freedom, and things that make us free shouldn't be solid silver like some kind of 1984 totalitarian robot of death. It should have character, just like the covers of the movies we love. So, that’s what I’m doin’… I'm trying to create a 3-Dimensional movie poster that plays movies.”
Well, we can get certainly get down with that most bodacious notion, eh, Tapeheads? Lunchmeat also asked about the process of creating the VCRs, and if they are indeed fully functional after the transformation. Sorce122 explained, “The VCRs are 100% functional. I use pencil, spray paint, paint pens, sharpies, and clear coat. No paint gets inside the deck, and they're fully tested before and after.”
The current price for a fully custom-painted deck is $70 plus the cost of shipping, and Sorce122 will even provide the VCR. He estimates each custom playback machine will take approximately 2 -3 weeks to complete (due to his full-time job as a baker!), and guarantees your VHSatisfaction.
