GOING BACK TO THE '90s! (A Retro Reading/Movie Watching Vlog)
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 04. 2024
- Join me as I decorate my retro den for a cozy Sunday full of reading and watching horror movies on VHS! The Old School April Readathon/Watchathon is drawing to a close. I didn't mean for this to be my one and only video this month, but here we are... Oh well! We are getting in the Old School 80s/90s spirit by reading a Creepers book by Edgar J. Hyde. Creepers is a '90s Goosebumps knock off that is now being reprinted and sold at your local Dollar Tree, just a heads up! I am also watching Headless Eyes (1971) on VHS, courtesy of Full Moon Features Wizard Video VHS line, and tuning into Slime and Slasher's Old School April reading sprints. This is a pretty random vlog, but hopefully it gives you all the retro vibes your heart can handle!

Hi creeps! My name is Cameron Chaney. I'm a horror author (see links above for info on my books) and I am also the host of Library Macabre, a BookTube channel focusing on horror, both vintage and new, indie and mainstream. Don't care for horror? No worries! I feature other literary genres on my channel as well. I just love books! You might even see an occasional video about horror films. If it's spooky, I'm here for it. :-)

Aweeeee noooooo thank you for your kind words about my livestreams 🥹🥹🥹🥹 this vlog is seriously AMAZING!!! I know I'm going to be watching this so many times. All the wonderful nostalgic vibes 🎉🙌😍 you are so talented! The editing is next level! And congrats on your first sponsor!!!! You deserve it! Thank you so much for being a part of OSA! It means the world to me that you were a part of it. Had so much fun with you this month 💗
It's been a pleasure, Kelsi! I'm so sad OSA is almost over. I wish the month were twice as long! Thank you for all your hard work this month and having me on as a host. Until next year! :D
I feel so weird lol. I’ll be reading goosebumps till I’m 90. 50 already,hope I could make it to 90 and if I do I will continue my 90s teen horror reads.
You’re not weird at all! I’ll be reading Goosebumps forever. 🙌
So much work and dedication goes into your video’s! ❤
Thank you so much for seeing that! I put a lot of passion into these. :D
It looks like you had a very relaxing day, doing the very thing we all love… reading books, watching movies and ordering pizza.
It was a great day! The pizza was the cherry on top 🍕
I love the 80's and 90's so much. Im a nostalgia Nut.
Same here! Those were the days 😁
Loved this video, Cameron! So much fun. So cozy. Thanks for sharing your day with us. And congrats on the sponsor!
I want to participate in old school April next year! Though, like you, I tend to live a retro life all year.
Also…. Thanks so much for the shout out! Appreciate the kind words. 🎃🎃
My pleasure, sir! Any way I can work a Witching Season shoutout in, I will. 😁🎃
This was a beautiful and cozy video that actually helped making my day better, thanks cameron❤
Wonderful! I’m glad it could help 😊
Cameron, please do some more "Cranky Cameron Rant Cams!" I agree wholeheartedly with your rant; everyone's saying they're too busy to do that, too busy to do this, but yet they're busy endlessly scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. Makes me miss some of the simpler things from the '90s.
Just read two more stories in Autumncrow in the past week! Both I Have No Mouth and I Must Feed and CRYP-TV were amazing stories! Only one more left 😭 But at least that means I have a reason to immediately buy Autumncrow High
YAY, a new Library Macabre Reading/Watching vlog! Great videos and better vibes! Hope you had a great Old School April, Cameron! #BlueBarracudaSupremacy #CHOMPCHOMP
Thanks so much, man!! I’m glad you enjoyed the vlog and I hope you had a great OSA too! 🙌
Of course! And thank you! I had so much fun participating this time around!!
I enjoyed your constructive criticism for the book towards the end. You’re right that R.L. Stine is a great writer. He writes with a clarity of a pro.
I love how I can go back in time during your videos
Building a Time Machine one video at a time 😂
You are much younger than I but your videos make me feel like I'm going back in time. Thank you for the nostalgia. Your videos warm my heart. 💚🖤💜🖤 20:42
I’m glad my videos can take you back 😊
This is a great video, Cameron.
You know, Cameron, it never ceases to amaze me that you’re younger than me and basically live in the bedroom I would have killed for at age ten.
Cameron, thank you so much for talking about those Creepers books as well. I mean, that brought back some hardcore memories, Cameron.
I remember being in the dollar store with my mom in the ‘90s. I saw those books and said to my mom, “Hey, mom, look at these books. Don’t they resemble Goosebumps?”
She said, “Yes, son, they do. How interesting.”
I picked up one of them and flipped through the pages. “Mom!” I exclaimed.
“Look at these chapters!” I demanded. “Some of them are only one page long,” I informed her. Then, I added, “Isn’t that cool, mom?”
She took the book. “If you get one, son,” she began to say, “you will be able to finish reading it in no time,” she finished saying.
Sadly, Cameron, I did not buy one. I wish I could educate you on my reasoning, Cameron, but I can’t remember.
Now that I know that they’re back, I will have to check them out. Thanks again and keep up the great work…Cameron. 😉
This was so triggering. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh my god I remember those days wish I was back in that era you bring so many good memories cameron
Thank you!! I’m trying to build a time machine one video at a time 😅
Congratulations on the sponsorship Cam- I'm so glad Old School April went off with a blast!. The 90's was one of the best decades to be a kid for sure!. On a side note, the lunch combo was so on point.
Thank you so very much! We know how to do an old school lunch here 😂
Loved this video, Cameron! It took me right back to my childhood! (But I'm sorry you didn't totally love the book you read or the movie you watched!)
Also yay for a glimpse of Spooky Ohio! 👻
I ordered Autumncrow !!!! So far it's a very fun read I just read burnt brownies last night and it was funny and oh so sad but kept me going! Also enjoyed pumpkin light. Next up is frost. Its nice to explain some of the town before I do fresh hell which I can't wait for the school series ! Love books like that.
Oh and I'm not sure if it was you or the seller on pango books it smelled like fall like autumn scents the whole book was soo nice!! Maybe the sellers touch!
You are so lucky to still have your original VCR. I've been through so many and they are getting harder and harder to find in thrift stores.
I’ve noticed! They can be pretty expensive too. I remember a brief time where you could get a vcr for like $10 brand new. Gone are those days.
Always fun to “hang out” with you via your channel 😎
It’s fun hanging out with you too, virtually and irl! 😆
I love your nostalgic nook! Congratulations on your sponsor too, magnetic frames are an awesome idea!
Thank you!! I agree, it’s an awesome idea. No more having to buy all new glasses just to have different frames.
I’m loving the synthwave intro music!! Reminds me a bit of Sunglasses Kid or FM84 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
That’s what I was going for! I’m lucky I found this music royalty free. It’s good stuff!
Need more of this. Thank you.
Noted! 😁
Fun Vlog! I also had a blast with Old School April! So much so that I have plans to keep reading my April TBR in May!😊
Hey man!! Thanks, I’m glad you liked it! Keep the old school alive year round 😁😁
Great video! Love the X-Men shirt too. Reminded me of the 90s Saturday morning cartoon I used to watch with my dad and the X-Men trading cards that I collected at the same time. Still have them! Your comment about a retro life all the time - I totally relate. It's how I make it through most of my not so good days. Nostalgia = happiness! 😊
Yes!! I loved that 90s x men cartoon so much. It’s my fave x men adaptation :)
As soon as your intro starts I just smile. Always so cozy and so spooky, I love it! ☕️🎃💀
This was so nostalgic, Cameron! 📼 💿 🕹🎱🍿 And I can't believe you still have the television from when you were a child! 😮 So cool!
Loved your rant too. So true. We definitely used to go to Blockbuster as a family. Ah those were the days.
And congratulations on your first sponsor!!!! Yay!!!! 🙌🏾
I used to love Sweet Valley High. 😁😮
Hi, Nakia! 🤗 I’m glad you liked the video! I think I’ll need to start including more Cranky Cam in my videos 😂
When will your next upload be?! Can't wait ! Lol ,any vlogs soon? I've been catching up on all your vids ❤️I now love that song October by the ghost in you from your childhood video. It was so sweet! Downloaded it haha
Congrats on your first sponsor! Around Halloween time, they had a pair with dripping slime that looked very Goosebumps. Your nook looks like a cozy and fun place to hang out. Yes! Kelsi's livestreams are the best! lol, that's crazy that real blood makes you pass out but movies are no problem! The look of confusion on your face at the end of that movie 😂 OSA was so much fun. Looking forward to next year!
Thank you so much!! Yeah, whenever I have my blood drawn at the doctors office, I have to lay back and look away. Actually, just thinking about it makes me queasy 🥴 Not just my own blood either, but just a tiny drop of someone else’s blood makes me feel like I’m going to hit the floor 🤷♂️
Spot on about on about Stine's writing and how it compares to some others. Shivers that same wonky rough feel lol.
I read one Creepers (The Sold Souls) and it was crazy dark, especially the ending. Not them strongest but it's was interesting....
I’ll check out The Sold Souls soon! That was my main takeaway from the Creepers book I read. It’s quite a bit darker.
I totally appreciated the Cranky Cameron Rant Cam! I miss going to the video store, taking a chance on a movie, and watching it at home! It was an experience!! Love your movie nook! Such a fun video!!
Thank you!! I think Cranky Cameron Rant Cam will make a comeback 😂
Awesome video!! So cozy, nostalgic and relax hope to see more reading/movie vlog in future
Thank you!! 😁
What a cool vid, so chill. It made my lunch break way better.
I’m glad to hear that! Thank you for watching 😁
Fun vlog! Can relate to what you said about movies being an experience. Growing up, I'd check out movies from the library or pick up something random from the clearance bins, and it was always a lot of fun. Found quite a few hidden gems that way, which made all the duds worth it, haha!
Agreed! Even the duds were at least entertaining. Without internet, we all had to make our own fun back then. Haha
Super fun vlog! I also miss renting movies from the rental place!
Me too :( I hope video stores make a comeback one day, but I won’t hold my breath. 😅
Loving the vibes of this! 🖤 I love that you've been reading Sweet Valley High. I grew up watching the tv show and reading the books. I got them at a used bookstore that's still going! Insane since that's about 20-22 years ago now. I even found several vintage thriller/horror books there early last year. I also grew up reading Goosebumps. I remember sneaking away from everyone during recess at school to go to the school library and read Goosebumps haha.
I spent most of my recesses reading Goosebumps too 😂😂
Enjoyed a lot. Thanks,
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
This is such a comfy video. Pizza and tv and the couch is such a killer combination. We don't have the Creepers book series in Indonesia (where I live) even during the heyday of the Goosebumps books but now I really want to check them out. Even my late 30s like right now, reading a middle grade horror book brings massive nostalgia feeling like I'm back to simpler, more fun times. This video definitely evokes this nostalgic feelings in me. Great job!
Thank you, Dimas! You guys have the Mr. Midnight books there, right? I’ve only found one of them here, but I enjoyed it! :)
That's good to know about those Creeper books!! I snagged a couple of them recently! I read a couple of Shivers books...and I didn't have the best time with them 😂
Oh no! Which Shivers did you read? They can be very hit or miss. And I’m glad you got ahold of some Creepers books! 🥳🥳
Awesome video, Cameron! Been watching you for years, and really appreciate all the work you put into them. Vlogs are always my fave. :)
Thank you thank you! I’m glad you enjoy the vlogs. Thank you for being such a long time viewer!
Congrats on your sponsorship :) great video!
Thank you!! 😊
I loved this video, it was a great watch.
Thank you!! 😁🙌
Hey Creep 👻 Glad everyone had an awesome OSA 🎉
Thanks! I hope you did too 🙌
I love your videos, one of my favorite CZcamsrs
Aww, thank you so much!!!! 😃
I love your videos so much! ❤
Thank you!! I’m so glad you enjoy them 😊
Great vlog! 👾
Thank you!! 😁
Omg congrats!!! Loved this video!
Thank you!! 😊
This was so goood Cameron! Amazing work!!
Thanks, Andrew! 😁😁
Amazing vlog C!
Thank you!!
This was a great vlog. Thank you, Cameron!
Thank you for watching, as always! 😁
Cameron your videos just keep getting better and better. I can only imagine how many hours you spend editing etc. Awesome video as per usual man!
Thank you so much!! Yes, this one especially took a ton of editing time. But I’m so happy with how it came out :)
Very cool 🎃🎃👍
Thank you 🙌
Great video! And congratulations on your sponsor! I picked up some of those Creepers books at my Dollar Tree a few weeks ago but haven't read them yet.
Thank you!! Hope you enjoy those Creepers books. I’m curious to read more.
Such a fun vlog!! I’m sad that OSA is over but it’s been such a fun month.
Me too! 😭😭😭 The month flew by! But I had a blast 😁
This was a nice, cozy video. Congrats on the sponsorship!
Thank you! I'm happy to finally have a company reach out to me that I can get behind. I've had offers from other companies before but nothing I really cared about.
Great video. You should check out Home is Where the Bodies Are from Jeneva Rose Barnes and Noble exclusive edition. It's a thriller, but it's the coolest book I own! Looks like an old VHS tape with the slip cover and everything!
Yes!! I meant to go to B&N last weekend and grab it but forgot. This weekend for sure!
💜🎵💜 YOU are the BEST reviewer on CZcams as well as the BEST friend from overseas! Much esteem for you!
Thanks for lending your music, Andrea!
Great vlog
Thank you!!
That was a fun vlog.
I miss video stores so much, it's not the same scrolling through to select a movie.
Thank you!! I agree, and I wish video stores would come back.
This was a good video
Thank you so much!! I'm glad you liked it. :)
That guitar clock is sooo cool 💖
Thank you!! I’ve had it since I was a kid. I almost sold it as a yard sale once but I’m so glad it didn’t sell. I would have regretted it 😂
@@LibraryMacabre nah don’t ever sell that haha fits the theme of the room so well! So many stuff I wish I kept from growing up in the 90’s. Thinking about what happened to all my Buffy and Goosebumps stuff keeps me up at night 😂
Well structured vlog, Cam. Music was complimentary & didn’t overpower. Change of tone, color/lighting & location gave nice variety. The angle of ‘family time’ & its value with going to the rental store was on point. I highly approve of the Camp Crystal Lake mug..I have the exact same one. It makes everything taste better…and now I want Domino’s.
Thanks, Dave!! I’m glad you enjoyed it, and glad the music wasn’t overpowering. I used a lot of songs I hadn’t used before, and spent a lot of time mixing the audio so it would be balanced.
@@LibraryMacabre …well, the end result shows the effort & thought that went into it.
I only say this because it looked uncomfortable, but the bed and tv were facing the same direction. My neck would get stiff if I sat like that for a whole movie. Still a fun vlog 👻
It wasn’t so bad! The space is small so the TV is at a weird angle, but if I lay back at the end of the bed, I can see it just fine. Thank you!
I just found out this am i late for retro april 😂I started watching in april and finished xmen 92 on the first of may.
Still sounds like a fun month! Love X Men :)
When comes to pop tarts I like smors better . Them the fruity ones
lol I have been wondering about those Creepers books! Maybe I’ll have to go see if I can find any 🤣
You gotta, man!! It’s right up your alley.
@@LibraryMacabre Lol I found one at my local Dollar Tree! It was "hidden" behind a bunch of stuff near the books, but I now have The Golden Goblet!
@@ShaunStevensonBooks Sweet! Congrats, man!
Another great video, Cameron! Yeah, Kelsi is a lot of fun. You look a little tired. I hope you are getting sleep, and for the love of pete, eat a salad! Maybe two salads!
I didn’t realize I looked tired :( Must just be getting older! And I eat salads, don’t worry. This was just an old school day haha
@@LibraryMacabre Glad to hear it. You look a little perkier in the Elvira unboxing, lol.
@@miriamfalk7139 I thought I was perky in this video 😅 You have me doubting everything now Lol
@@LibraryMacabre Ha! Pay me no mind, Cameron. Maybe I was tired and just projecting!
fear street the prom queen is finally in the works!!!!!!!
Yes!!! I just saw the behind the scenes they posted today and I’m PUMPED!
I rwmembwr one of the girls in Sweet Valley High was in a few episodes of Dawson's Creek.
I didn’t know that!
@@LibraryMacabre and sorry about the typo. Cell phone writing is never easy.🙂
want more goosebumps series
I’m working on stuff, it’s just hard to get it all done while working full time.
Great video but sadly I still can’t find any of those books at the dollar tree here in Utah I’ve been looking weekly since they first started popping up in peoples videos last year
They can be tough to find! Keep looking. I didn’t find them for a long time, then they finally popped up. The new wave of five books wasn’t at any of my dollar trees within two and a half hours of me, but a friend pulled through and found them for me.
Great video Cam! Glad to see you like X-Men are you watching X-Men 97 right now?
Thanks, Carter! I haven't started watching 97 yet, but I must! I lived the original 90s series and all the 90s comics, so I feel this show was made for me. :)
@@LibraryMacabre Absolutly recommend but bring tissues the drama is real 😭
@@cartersalley1088 now I’m even more excited to watch 😁
Cameron, why do you always try to make yourself sound so old? You aren't. You really aren't. 😊 Try having the TV I still have from my youngers years & VCR. 😆😆 I always enjoy your videos. I may be late doing s,o at times but they do get watched. Oh! love your viewing nook too. 👍🏼 Oops! Forgot to congratulate you on your 1st and hopefully more sponsorship. 🎉🙌🏼💐
I guess I just feel old 😅 Thank you for always watching!
Hey Cameron! Random but have you read the zodiac chillers books and nightmare club ?!
I’ve read some Nightmare Club and thought they were okay, some better than others. I really need to read Zodiac Chillers though! I have some sitting on my shelves.
@@LibraryMacabre oh that's awesome !! Lucky! I keep searching and being patient with eBay like you said a lot is so pricey now!! It's cool my library does inter library loans so I can get books from other counties. I just finished the surprise party now and going to start the saga tonight of fear street. I rewatched your fear street vlogs twice ❤️❤️
I lovee that background music aeound 8 min what is that?!
