A History of VHS Obsession
Collector of 80s Horror & Video Shop Nostalgia
Its Only A Movie UK started from a lifelong obsession with the “Video Nasty” era, the dusty shelves of video rental shops, and the iconic cover art of 80s horror.
An independent website and store run by myself (Stu), with help from my cousin Mike (previous owner of video shops: The Movie Centre and Images). What began as a personal collection of tapes and posters has grown into a dedicated mission to keep the spirit of cult horror and video shop memories alive through articles, high-quality apparel, cover art, and rarities.
