It is a pity to see a good store go under. On the brightside though here in Norther CA their are Rasputin Records stores around which have rare out of print horror titles on VHS at times for dirt cheap and not to mention a vast new/used dvd collection.

I was able to hit up a Hollywood that closed a few months ago for some cheap DVDs (they ended up going to 5 for $20 by the time the end). Now I know of a few more that I can hit up. It’s definitely sad to see this happening since they were such a strong force, but at the same time, while all of these are closing, the mom and pop “King Video” that I go to for my rentals is still going strong. Heck, they even still rent out VHS so I’ve been making a killing watching old slashers.

I worked for Hollywood for years, which were both the best years & worst year of my life. I can’t believe my mourning for mom & pop video stores has to be replaced w/ mourning for Hollywood.

It was at lot of fun working for a video store, that I wish my son could experience some day. But it looks like it will sadly not be.

this sucks, my neighborhood FYE closed down just recently, and now this? Man, if Blockbuster still sold videos I would not have a problem, but now it seems that the video store is truly extinct.

I worked at Movie Gallery for years, and scored many a good film from there, it’s definitely the end of an era. In smaller towns like mine, there are now NO more video stores!
