The Tape Isn’t Dead™:

“This VHS just sold for $8,000.” A hunt through horror’s analog underground where trash tech becomes treasure and culture refuses to die.

The Tape Isn’t Dead™ is a premium docu-series diving into the VHS horror collector underground, where $10 tapes sell for $10,000 and magnetic decay becomes an existential threat. Blending treasure-hunt excitement with a horror-tinged atmosphere, the series taps the massive VHS nostalgia economy and the analog revival trend. It leverages the scarcity and obsession psychology of Gen Z and Gen X/Millennial audiences while interrogating digital erasure. Built for high-end streamers, this IP is designed as the Act One of a larger, globally scalable "Analog Obsessions" franchise spanning vinyl, arcades, and Polaroid.
