Refers to where you wish to view a certain motion-picture creation for the first time, but DVDs or BluRay disks of that title are rather pricey, and so you are hesitant to shell out that much when you can't be sure that you would even like the movie all that much, anyway. So what you do is to initially purchase a used VHS tape of said film for just two or three bucks... sure, the tape may be an old worn scratchy thing that doesn't give all that pristine a picture, but at least you will be able to view the movie and see what it's about and how good it is, and then decide if you wanna "upgrade" to a more-costly digital disc of this title.
Now that so many older movie-titles are available on YouTube and other online video-viewing sites, there is often less of a need to perform a VHS-preview of a particular movie, since you may be able to just watch it online, and thus be able to "determine for free" if you want to buy a copy of it on DVD or BluRay.

Get the VHS-previewmug. Da wording on a dockside sign dat warns aquatic sportsmen about of a serious bacterial infection of fish caused by throwing videocassettes into the water.
I always find da "VHS ALERT: BOATERS & ANGLERS" signs puzzling, since conceivably most folks who would be venturing out on a lake or river would not even have televisions or VCRs with them, and so there should be little problem of folks tossing their broken/unwanted tapes overboard while they were cruising around in their skiffs and yachts.

Get the VHS ALERT: BOATERS & ANGLERSmug. Short yet creepy (canon) videos that add more lore and lore information to Five Nights at Freddy's. Sometimes it's about employee training tapes, people testing the animatronics, characters speaking to you (no voice, just text) and it all has... eerie background music or silence when it's about the characters speaking to you. Go watch some of them!!
Person 1: Dude.. I just watched some FNAF VHS tapes today, it was terrifying but had a lot of lore!!
Person 2: Wow... you are brave...

Get the Blank VHS tapemug. A type of sexual roleplay usually involves a party of 2-5 people, where one of them dresses up as a Halloween character and chases them around the house (or other areas), which usually resolves in both parties being turned on.

Get the Hop on VHSmug. A great medium being replaced by DVDs. You can rip the tape out of a VHS and throw it all over the place and shit, can you do that with a DVD? Hell No!
