A graphic designer takes new movies and turns them into fully-functional VHS tapes

To Matthew Dix, VHS tapes are more than just products of the past.

Instead of mourning the loss of Blockbuster video stores, Dix is bringing the '90s back by "physically recreating, as well as dubbing, modern movies into a fully functional VHS."

He creates the box design on Photoshop, constructs the packaging by hand, and transfers the modern movies - from "The Hateful Eight" to "Deadpool" - to VHS cassettes. He shows off the process and their results on his Instagram account, OffTrackOutlet.

The packaging is super '90s, down to the rental stickers and prices. He's made copies of Oscar-winning films like "Mad Max: Fury Road" and even Disney's "Big Hero 6."

Dix has also expanded his project to transferring film soundtracks to cassettes.

None of the cassettes are for sale, but you can check out some of his work below and follow him on Instagram:
