everyday is halloween

this video is a pair of commercials for blockbuster video & the film toy story [1995] for the scary season.  it was less than a decade ago that blockbuster video was the number one movie rental retailer, & scarier, that a few years before that VHS was the dominant mode of home movie watching!  alors!  VHS!  what quaint technology, right.  but then again, time means little to me now.  i mean, anna & i were talking about this very thing tonight.  we are at that age [scarier even still, tonight i saw a commercial for a service, like life insurance, for old folks that began with my birth year!] where what we remember could've happened 20 years ago & feels like yesterday etc etc.  still, this halloween video is an interesting document of another world & another age.  & yet, somehow, it remains contemporary, at least for me.  that might be the scariest of them all!
