Fear Street Rentals: West Hollywood pop up brings back the video store era

Ever miss the video retailer period? As a baby of the eighties and nineties, I can not even think about what my youth would have been like with out my native video shops. I used to spend hours and hours simply strolling round, looking the VHS covers, and chatting movies with the clerks. Actually, for years and years in my late teenagers/early twenties, I used to be one! In fact, video shops have basically gone bye-bye now, however the nostalgia stays, and now Netflix is giving of us a style of this by-gone period with their very own “Worry Road Leases” pop-up expertise. Our personal JimmyO checked out this gorgeous cool interactive set up which, after all, ties into Netflix’s Worry Road Trilogy (learn our evaluations for the primary two installments here and here).

Positioned on Melrose in West Hollywood, Netflix describes the pop up as follows:

On the surface, FEAR STREET RENTALS is a 90s video rental storefront, and on the within, it is an immersive expertise that takes you again in time and brings to life the horrors of Shadyside in 1994, 1978, and 1666. Full of iconography and Easter eggs from the Worry Road Trilogy and a secret passageway that takes you into the world of 1978 (Camp Nightwing) & 1666 (the church), the pop-up is an expertise constructed for horror and Worry Road followers alike.

The occasion is free and open to the general public. Admission is first-come, first served. 

This can be a fairly neat little thought for those who ask me. R.L. Stine’s Worry Road books have been such a staple of the video retailer period that one thing like this feels solely acceptable. Each of the movies we have gotten to this point really feel like affectionate throw-backs to the sorts of video-store horror flicks we used to binge on on a regular basis as children. Its cool they’re giving the brand new era these motion pictures are geared in direction of a style of what the expertise of going to a video retailer was like.

Try all of Jimmy’s pictures beneath (together with a fantastic JoBlo shout-out from the trilogy’s superior director Leigh Janiak), and for those who’re within the L.A. space, try the pop-up for your self. It runs till Sunday, July 18th, and, as famous above, admission is free. You can too get extra information at FearStreetRentals.com
