White Screen of Death
The screen that appears if you are curious enough to watch a VHS tape beyond the credits. It shows a screen after a few minutes of a blank screen, usually white or black, and has a beep noise like in a test pattern. They usually show up for a few minutes and then goes back to a blank screen, or continues until the tape is ended by static. No one knows what the purpose of them are as of yet. I guess they had to be cheap, they could of just showed a screen saying "End of VHS tape, please press stop" but no, they had to show something irritating and horrifying.
Example:
TV: "Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep"
Friend: "What the hell is that noise?"
Me: "Oh, its the White screen of death, I forgot to shut the VHS off, I guess it woke both of us up. That movie was boring."
Friend: "Whats a White Screen of Death?"
Me: "Its what is on the TV right now, no one knows what it means."
Adult: "It means the movie is over! Damn, you kids don't know nothing!"
Me: "No, there has to be a more logical explanation for them!"
