The video tag is not reserved for anything strictly released on video. Since this title is a compilation of scenes from other films, it meets the compilation part of the video tag guidelines.

Reading the guidelines, I must agree that the "video" tag is not appropriate for this film. It is a hosted compilation with a narrative and released to theaters as a regular film, twice (as 'A Comical Look at the Best of Sex and Violence in Hollywood' and 'Screams of Flesh and Blood'). It meets the criteria for both the first and second of the the three major exceptions listed.

This is only for the original release, and it was allegedly released on VHS first. But why do you guys care whether the entry is marked as video or not?

Because movie sites that use tmdb's API exclude "video" entries as they aren't "real" films.

Maybe that's something you should discuss with the website you're using then. For example, Letterboxd import video content with a theatrical release.

If the 'video' tag was apt, then yes. But Filmgore , Terror on Tape , etc. aren't the kind of material it seems this label was intended to separate. And when they've been produced, released, and reviewed as regular films it's a little odd for it to suddenly be in question almost 40 years later. I chose this film to show that a theatrical release, or lack thereof, is an insignificant distinction between these and That's Entertainment or Terror in the Aisles .
Terror in the Aisles has two actors (appearing as themselves) who break the fourth wall and directly address the viewers while showing them film clips . Terror on Tape has a video shop owner showing film clips to people coming into his store on Halloween. All are actors playing characters and the clips have a narrative purpose. The viewer is never acknowledged. The latter is a movie, the former...not so much. Yet the former is the "film", and the latter is not because it was a DTV release?
How can "real film" vs. "clip show" be a matter of distribution rather than content? Besides, how is a video release less legit than Netflix? Netflix is nothing more than today's Blockbuster.
