Even though millions of options are now available with a click, there’s still something charming about the chunky 1980s VHS tapes that used to permeate our entertainment culture.

Artist Steelberg has a knack for perfectly replicating this aesthetic, and has transformed dozens of recent shows and movies into believable VHS cassettes, complete with heavy wear and tear.

We love the torn stickers, worn out casing, and faded graphics that accompany titles like Stranger Things, Get Out, and Severance, all which came out way after VHS tapes disappeared.
