| Notes | The VHS release of Slaughterhouse-Five brought Kurt Vonnegut’s complex time-traveling anti-war novel adaptation to home audiences. Released in the early 80s by MCA Home Video, the tape was a staple in many rental stores’ drama and literature sections. The box featured artwork of Billy Pilgrim wrapped in a blanket, emphasizing both the sci-fi and war elements of the story. It remains a sought-after collectible among Vonnegut fans. |
