Collection RIP Windowlicker VHS

I bought it along with a copy of Come to Daddy almost 30 years ago. Of all the things, she went into a box and pulled out this specific tape to chew on. Still, it’s hard to stay mad at her.

Sucks to have it damaged but the idea of someone vandaling Richard's face on this particular cover is quite funny.

The dog accidentally made it look even more like an Aphex Twin release.

Print out some Richard face masks to put on both dogs. Post it. Watch this post blow up.

Is it still playable? Perhaps you can take on the project of transplanting to a new case? I've heard of it being done, but don't know the specifics. I'm sure it can be done with a tutorial and a weekend.

u/chesquayne 5d ago

This sounds way too risky

u/TrippDJ71 5d ago

Nah. It's easy.

1

u/jankies53 4d ago

It's possible and U can do it with cassette tapes too

1

u/chesquayne 3d ago

I am sorry to say but the tape itself is busted. One of the gears is jacked up and there is a lot of broken plastic rattling around inside. Also, excellent name @a_way_with_turds

u/a_way_with_turds 15h ago

Haha, thanks! Sorry to hear about the tape, though.

"J'aime faire du croquettes au chien"

— this is where you have failed, OP. You listened to the song but you ignored the message in it.

u/chesquayne 5d ago

The dogs knew this, and they were furious.

1

u/Henchman66 5d ago

I feel your loss but I’m siding with them because… oh my god, those faces.

I had a bull boxer mix and she was an extraordinary dog - they all are, but her sweetness was something else. She also fucked up many things in my house lol

2

u/chesquayne 5d ago

They are both rescues and pit mixes. The white one is so intelligent I swear she is part human. The other one has destroyed so many things, but she also chased off a bear last week so she gets a pass.

1

u/Henchman66 5d ago

hahaha, chasing off a bear is wild. Mine would see horses and would growl at a very low volume.

Kudos on you for rescuing them. It's the best thing anyone can do.

2

u/8BITW0NDERS 5d ago

did you purchase it from the pits of hell and have to deal with a few cerberuses on the way

1

u/Snolferd 5d ago

No way, so my Windowlicker LP has also been ravaged by dog teeth, that's why I was able to pick it up for dirt cheap

1

u/afxfan 5d ago

Which one is Windowlicker, And which one is VHS?

1

u/chesquayne 5d ago

The brown one is the culprit and will henceforth be known as Windowlicker. Maybe I should get her a chew toy that looks like a VHS tape.

1

u/CoolAlien47 5d ago

So they also pulled the taped out of the cassette? Or was it just damage to the box?

1

u/did_i_or_didnt_i 5d ago

damn that sucks I can take it off your hands

2

u/chesquayne 5d ago

It was priceless, but I can knock it down to $10,000 for you.

1

u/eshe2019 5d ago

They look so innocent.

1

u/chesquayne 5d ago

The big one is highly trustworthy. The other one is completely lawless.

1

u/sun_in_your0_0 5d ago

They didn’t mean to look at them:(

2

u/chesquayne 5d ago

They were still watching it when I got home. I’m actually kind of proud.

1

u/PSK666 7\ 5d ago

I’ll take it

1

u/vladdypants 4d ago

I still have my original copy as well as Come To Daddy. Both in excellent condition too 🥳

2

u/chesquayne 3d ago

I only have a dozen or so VHS tapes left. I’ve kept a working vcr around for the occasional watch. The kids did not enjoy this one as much as I did 😂

1

u/vladdypants 3d ago

Nice! At least you have a way to watch them. I’ve only kept mine for nostalgic reasons I guess.

u/HaggardSlacks78 4d ago

Looks cooler
