Demon of Paradise transports viewers to the idyllic Hawaiian islands, where a group of treasure hunters stumbles upon a mysterious and malevolent force that turns their paradise into a living nightmare. Released in 1987, this horror film garnered a small but dedicated fanbase who praised its exotic setting and the tension-filled storyline. Although it may not be a household name in the horror genre, Demon of Paradise has found appreciation among fans of creature features and supernatural horror, who delight in its unique blend of tropical beauty and terror, making it a hidden gem in the realm of cult horror cinema.


This factory sealed VHS copy of Demon of Paradise with silver security sticker on the bottom and wraparound Warner Home Video Watermarks is believed to be the first release of the film on Home Video. It comes to us as part of The Motor City Collection, CGC Home Video's first Pedigree. The Motor City Collection is especially remarkable due to the fact that original purchaser would typically write the date that the item was purchased on the price tag, sometimes along with the store name or the street that the store was located on. Based on the handwritten notes on the price tag, this tape was originally purchased on 11-18-88 at a Meijer location in Michigan. It has received a grade of 9.0 by CGC with a Seal grade of A+.

The Motor City Collection is CGC Home Video's first VHS pedigree. The gentleman who originally assembled this unbelievable collection had purchased items as far back as the 1970s beginning with vinyl records. He would typically go out of his way to write the date of purchase on the price tags, as well as other identifiable info like a city, street, or store name. His collection was unknown to even his family until his passing. The majority of the items he'd purchased remained unopened in their original factory shrink wrap.
