★What Is The Watch Once Pile©? ★

The Watch Once Pile© is a literal pile of VHS tapes kept on a table in my dining room. Some have been given to us by friends and acquaintances cleaning out garages, storage containers, or the like. Others are found at local thrift shops and seem just too wacky or interesting to ignore. Way too many are movies released by weird religious publishers that my partner and I have a strange fascination with analysing.

The concept is in the name, but the goal is to watch all of these tapes at least once before deciding if they should be donated or if they might have the certain je ne sais quoi to have a permanent space in the collection.

I’m hoping to start writing very simple reviews for these when watching to help make the process a bit more fun and also get myself writing more. My partner also wants to draw screens from the movie now and then to include, so it should be a fun little project!
