ALWAYS REWIND YOUR VHS T-SHIRT

A dark humour t-shirt available in black or white cotton.

Step back into the magnetic mayhem of the analog age with the Always Rewind Your VHS T-Shirt. This design resurrects the golden era of rental tapes, neon horror, and late-night rewind warnings — but with a sinister twist. The command: Always Rewind Your VHS… Or It Rewinds You.

Rendered in blazing pinks and chilling blues, the artwork captures a man ensnared by the very medium he forgot to respect. VHS tape coils strangle him, pulled by a monstrous cassette whose snarling face and glowing eyes burn with analog rage. It’s a throwback to the 1980s when “Be Kind, Rewind” wasn’t just etiquette — it was law. Here, Hellwood takes that cultural commandment and flips it into a surreal horror PSA worthy of a cursed Blockbuster aisle.

“Long live the new flesh.” — David Cronenberg, Videodrome

Culturally, this design taps straight into VHS nostalgia and the horror tradition of haunted media — from Videodrome and The Ring to the shelves of every cult rental store that shaped an era. The VHS cassette is elevated from obsolete technology to demonic predator, punishing the careless and the forgetful. It’s a brilliant fusion of retro tech anxiety and grindhouse-style poster art.

This tee is perfect for tape collectors, horror junkies, synthwave fanatics, and anyone who’s ever stared at a tangled reel of black tape with dread. The Always Rewind Your VHS T-Shirt isn’t just fashion — it’s a neon-soaked warning that nostalgia cuts both ways.
