VHS (short for Video Home System) is a standard for consumer-level analog video recording on tape cassettes, invented in 1976 by the Victor Company of Japan (JVC). It was the dominant home video format throughout the tape media period in the 1980s and 1990s.

On Cinema guest Gregg Turkington swore by VHS, stating it was the preferred choice of home video format for movie buffs everywhere. His personal video collection was primarily VHS, and was most likely entirely VHS by the end of its existence. This focus on VHS carried over to the collection's successor, the Victorville Film Archives.
