This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen, I would love to have a place like this in my house, I hope you keep adding on because that's incredible
Bonus points for making the Adults Only section! lol - as an 80's baby who worked a few years in an old video store...I'll never forget that awkward curtained room of regret lol
Thanks much! Been working on an ‘80s arcade in one of the rooms not shown, so will take a bit! - but there’s a home theater in the vid - where the Laserdiscs are! 🍿🎥
Wow!!!! I heard whispers about this basement. The rumors didn’t compare to seeing the real thing! This is an amazing accomplishment! It should never be finished like Disneyland!!!! Amazing!
I came here after watching the Corey Feldman show.. lol had to say this is possibly top 5 basements I have ever seen, and I want nothing more than to browse all them movies you got… lol AWESOME JOB!
You sir are living my dream. This is beyond amazing, I would literally pay to walk around your video store. As someone who grew up in the hey day of video stores your attention to detail is too good. The big shots poster in the kids section especially made me say out loud this man gets it. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
I just said the same thing I bet so many people would actually pay to tour this place it is so freaking cool I love the secret doors i just love every single thing about it
I wish I had the words that could accurately describe just how amazing you're setup is. It is literally perfect. I must have said OMG about seven times watching your video. 🎉❤
I miss those independent video shops in the Eighties/early mid Nineties. In my part of Scotland, we had two VHS rental shops in my local town. One is now a Turkish Barber shop. The other is a small business. There was another one in a nearby city, situated in the backstreets. It had a bigger selection. The owners also had this huge tv screen playing a classic film or recent release. Again, completely gone. (Can't even remember where it was situated). I envy looking at this set up of yours. Makes me feel young again and wanting to rent a film for a Saturday evening. Nice video, and nice to see keep somebody literally keeping the past alive in their part if the world.
this is sooo awesome!!! You are a rock star for building this. I would do anything to be able to take a tour but sadly I live on the west coast and will probably never make it to your part of the Country but if I ever did I would pay for a tour I miss the 70s and 80s so much this just took me back to Blockbuster and Bradley Video (bradley was probably just in my town) Love love love this.
As a collector of physical media, I applaud you! This is every collector's dream to have a basement like this. Are all of those actual VHS tapes or are some just "empty display cases"? Either way, super cool. I saw a red door with ET on it in the kid's room. I assume that connects to the workout room. But when you spun around, you revealed a second door with windows. Does that lead somewhere or is it just a fake door? Also, I wish you would have shown off your theater a bit more. We never saw the opposite wall of the laser discs and we didn't get to see your theater itself very much. I'm only asking these questions because I love this video and this space!! Must....have.....more!!!!! 😆 Thanks for sharing!
I can't stop watching this. You know when someone say's the cliche " I need this " ? Well I FUCKING need this. Props to you man it's an amazing room and i'm jealous beyond words, so much that i'm going to do something similar. Who knew that a simple video could bring so much joy.
Ha! Thanks very much! Appreciate it greatly! When building your space out, ask yourself what it is that moves you (cheesiness aside) - y'know, surround yourself with all the things you find fun and personal to you and you'll have a unique build that you'll never get bored of! Good luck and drop me a line when it's finished!
Hey Mondo, I'm building my very own replica Blockbuster Video Store in my home garage. On Augustb5th 8 ex video store shelves arrive to NY home with a massive VHS, poster collection and 5 huge metal store DVD & food shelves. I have one big shelf already. I need to get the canary yellow paint and paint the garage soon. I'll then source carpet but overall it will take a good 6 - 12 months to get it where I want, including building a shop front that will hide the roller door from the inside and from.ecterior will be hidden by the garage roller door, but once rolled up, a beautiful Blockbuster Video Store exterior will be fully visible. I'm drawing up those designs soon and will finalise plans once shelving arrives and I see in person what I have. When I watched your video months ago, that was the trigger for me to say 'Screw it, I'm doing this" but as Blockbuster was so nostalgic to myself here in Australia, I decided to do it as a replica Blockbuster Video Store, as it gives me a good base for design, style, structure and to really hit people who come visit it with that 80's -2000's nostalgia. Sadly in Australia we dint have basements in our homes like many American houses do, which really sucks, so my garage is my only option but it's a good size. So thanks again for the inspiration and mine won't have an adult section 😂
I thought my dream was to have a basement theatre but I guess it's a movie store/theatre. Would love to have both an analog setup (35mm) and some 4K quality options
I was just in awe the entire time. When I thought my jaw couldn't drop any further, you BLEW MY MIND and opened up ANOTHER section! This is my dream basement! Stunning work on every element and every room. "One more thing" is certainly correct!!
Rad Dude!!! I’m always telling my boys about video stores, this will help. I remember the video store I used to go to when you walked in you were immediately hit with the smell of popcorn 🍿 and neon lights. Long live the 80s!
Thanks very much! Not sure if you caught it, but it’s the largest section I have - it’s the first large wall I pan to on the right as enter the main section. Always a favorite of mine, as well 🍻📼
This is, without a doubt, the most glorious thing I've ever seen. Having worked in a mom & pop video store in the mid-80s while in college, seeing this is a vibe that resonates deep within me. Thank you for sharing the magic of your obsession.
@@mondovideostore Awesome, thank you! By the way, I'm sitting here beneath my OG Toxic Avenger poster from my days at the shop as I type this. So, needless to say, your Toxie standup gets extra props. Speaking of movies, if you want to check out the documentary made about our unexpected reunion a few years ago and trek to perform at a big metal festival in Germany, it's on YT for free now. Just throwing it out there since it seems like we're on the same wavelength. For example, I've got a life-size statue of Ash from "Army of Darkness" next to me here as well. I'm Ed. You can actually see the latter in the intro of the film. Here's the link: czcams.com/video/Ykp1q3eiIZQ/video.html Have a great week!
INCREDIBLE!!! This brings the nostalgia back heavy. Thank you for posting this, the kids section, the theater, and the break room with food titles was such a nice bonus. This is so many levels of cool.
This is also a dream of mine, to one day have my own in-home videostore. Thanks for the inspriation! I love what you've done. A little nod to the Dragonball Z videos
Every time I thought I had no more whats, wows and holy shits left, there was another twist to the video. Insane work dude, I'd pay to visit this place. Absolutely love it.
This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen, I would love to have a place like this in my house, I hope you keep adding on because that's incredible
Thanks so much for the killer feedback! Very much appreciated #onemorethingvideo 😜
@@mondovideostore Not all Heroes wear Capes, they have awesome Basements.
Man the secret rooms and how you have to pull the movie to open the wall!!! Omg this is heaven
Well said. That secret door upstairs was awesome but the downstairs one!! Wow...

This is absolutely incredible, you should be damn proud of yourself for doing such an amazing job.
Thanks very much!
When I see these retro movie rental themes, I can almost smell the popcorn! It's a good feeling.
