Here is a really cool--and super rare--videotape from December of 1985. This was not only a time when people began to have the ability to own scarce Toho classics in their homes, but also when some of the fancier manufacturers would actually issue "Preview Tapes" to video store owners.
No doubt, Prism sensed this batch of science-fiction-oriented films were going to be movie rental money-makers, so they went all-out with this tape!

| Also, this is one of those "wrap-around" boxes with flaps on both sides! |
Instead of just stringing together existing trailers, this video has sleek graphics, an intense narrator, and a Gary Numan-ish soundtrack! You know right where you stand, immediately.
Included are: INFRA-MAN (one of my all-time favorites), the awful ESCAPE FROM GALAXY 3, the hilarious OCTAMAN, and Toho classics THE HUMAN VAPOR and GORATH, all but extinct today.
It really is an amazing look at the past---oh wait, you want to see it, don't you? Do you think we would let you down? Enjoy!!!
