Scarecrow Video

If a disc looks iffy, we will check it; but we can't check every disc.

We compare it with our current rental, and if the donation is in better condition will will upgrade our rental. Anything else, we might keep as a spare or we will sell.

In memory of owner Craig Wilson, former Queen Anne/Fremont rental shop Video Isle facilitated the donation of their extensive collection to Scarecrow this past weekend. Our largest donation ever!

Listening to @kenjennings.bsky.social talk about @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social on @kuow.org's Week In Review and thought to myself, "man, if only I could rent by mail." So I checked and YOU CAN!

So far our Valentine's Day in-store watch has included Kazan's SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS & Wong Kar-wai's CHUNGKING EXPRESS! Time 2 yearn!

Happy Birthday to Carol Channing! Watching 1985's ALICE IN WONDERLAND, where she plays The White Queen.

Honoring the memory of Catherine O'Hara today. Previously played a whole bunch of SCTV episodes in the store, and now we've moved on to BEST IN SHOW. #RIP

Incredible news! A cathedral of cinema, a treasure house of trash, a palace of physical discs (and tapes), Scarecrow will thrive!

Never a director section for this guy.

This is such a win for Seattle (and movie people everywhere). We’re lucky to have Scarecrow!

The greatest store of its kind anywhere, amazing news.

This is such wonderful news for the film scene in Seattle (which has had some real blows in the last couple of years). So exciting!

Scarecrow Video is a Seattle landmark, yes, but it's also believed by most to be the largest collection of physical film media in the world -- over 150,000 titles. This is huge news.

One of the best institutions in the US

A real building for real movies.

As a card-carrying member since 1992, I'm happy to hear this!

I'm going to make a prediction and say that there will be more independent video rental stores popping up the next few years.

Technology run amok is forcing people to remember how much better when things were a certain way before that.

This store in Seattle has its flag planted hard.

This is awesome! Seattle once was a stomping ground for me. Seeing artists grow and expand makes my indie/horror heart soar! We got home grown #monsterkids!

Huge win for physical media!

I was so lucky to have access to this place as as a youth (they had all the anime & weird-ass horror I could ever want) - long live Scarecrow!!

Here it is. Took a long road to get here, and there's a long road ahead, but - frickin' wow.

Big congrats to @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social!

Viva la physical media!! 📼

A HUMONGOUS win for physical media, cinema history, and Seattle creatives! Places like Scarecrow (which I've sadly only visited once) are goldmines and libraries for not just cinephiles, but the artisans of the future who NEED these movies to fill their brains with magic, wonder, and truth.

We won't be moving from our beloved Staff Picks/Special Section filming corner anytime soon babes!!! Big big congrats to us and a big big thanks to you all.

huge fantastic news for us--a big weight off of our shoulders and I truly love to be a part of the small beautiful movie garden that is somehow still surviving in the gross decaying crack of ugly tech bro concrete that is Seattle!

Oh man, I grew up in the U-District and Scarecrow was such an incredible resource for me. This is amazing, very cool to see.
