Video To Go It was a Sunday night, and the residents of McCoy Hall had gathered to eat pizza and watch re n ted movies. Although th e party was small, it was a success in more ways than one. According to Michelle Dahlmier, the evening served as more than a study break. "It really brought our hall together," she said. The Video Revolution turned dormitories. lounges and students' apartments into private screening rooms. Renting movies became a popular. and relatively inexpensive,
form of entertainment, especially on wee kends. Video shops encouraged the rental trade in a number of ways. Most offered lower rates to customers who paid a yearly membership fee. This was the policy at Sounds Easy. a video outlet in Moscow. Its usual rate was $3 per movie, but with coupons. members could get movies for $1.50. With r e ntal tapes available for under $2 a night, an evening at home could be much cheaper than a trip to the movie
theater, particularly when a large group was involved . Many living groups took advantage of this when providing entertainment for their members. According to Campbell Hall President Wendy Reynolds, comedies topped the request list, with horror shows and adventure stories not far behind. The list of top rental cassettes included "Rambo," "St. Elmo's Fire" and "Breakfast Club," as well as "Ghostbu sters" and "Beverly Hills Cop." Movies dominated the
video industry, but music videos such as Michael Jackson's "Thriller" quickly gained popularity with the college crowd, too. Convenien ce was a contributing factor to the success of the video industry, and merchants near campus took advantage of their good location. Rosauer's supermarket not only offered tapes, but also rented VCR's for a small charge. The combined price was $6.50. At that price, it was hard to run out for a sixpack without coming back with a movie. 0
