Collector dossier - campaign history

Why this exact Really Weird Tales piece matters

This page is about the actual archive item, not a stock poster image.

Actual item

Really Weird Tales is cataloged as a home-video promo connected to HBO Video.

The page uses the uploaded front photograph and detail crops from that same item.

Campaign role

Many pieces in this archive were made for the 1980s home-video and rental-store economy.

Recorded print details:

HBO Video promotional poster for Really Weird Tales, featuring Joe Flaherty, John Candy, Catherine O'Hara, Andrea Martin, and Martin Short.

Provenance

Private Discount Video archive, retained from the store for approximately 40 years.

That history does not replace in-hand inspection, but it gives the listing a stronger starting point than anonymous marketplace copy.

Condition

Grade: good

Visible notes:

  • Photo-reviewed only.
  • visible fold lines, surface glare/reflection, light waviness, edge/corner wear, and handling marks may be present.
  • The August 1, 2026 catalog image has been perspective-corrected, rotated upright where needed, and cropped to the collectible edge so desk, table.
  • and holder surfaces are excluded where the source photo allowed.
  • No restoration, backing, tear, or paper-grade claim is made without an in-hand inspection.
  • Folds, glare, wrinkles, edge wear, sleeve reflections, and display marks are treated as buying facts.

Price context

  • Introductory archive ask set at $175 because Really Weird Tales has John Candy, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, Joe Flaherty, SCTV, HBO Video.
  • and scarce cult-comedy appeal.
  • This is not an appraisal.

The number is a selling ask, not a formal appraisal. Before checkout is enabled, the owner confirms measurements, packing, final condition language, and availability.
