Recently Collectors Weekly spoke to Dan Kinem who, with Levi Peretic, has released a documentary called 'Adjust Your Tracking: The Untold Story of the VHS Collector.' For their film, the pair interviewed more than 100 VHS collectors, many of whom are unrepentant fans of the horror genre. What they learned is that often the poor quality of the tapes, versus the hi-def clarity of digital media, is a big part of the appeal.
