In the 1980's video stores were one of the important stops during the spooky season. The horror section was always crowded but it was worth picking up some videotapes for Halloween night. Here's a bunch of video store ads from the 80's.

These are wonderful, thank you! I want that free mask!
Ah the days of staring mindlessly at the endless aisles and racks of VHS cases wondering what to watch. Now we stare mindlessly as we scroll through endless pages of streaming offerings. And the end result is the still the same: we can't find anything to watch.
Fun stuff, glad you are saving them for posterity. Miss these old days, I know it is with nostalgia-tinged glasses, but it was fun and simpler, I guess.

Free mask?? NOW you're talking!
That free mask looks like the one I blogged about here https://garagesalin.blogspot.com/2019/10/creepy-crispy-critter.html

That has to be the mask they gave out! Buy a $349.00 VCR and get a free ugly mask valued at $9.97!
