Family Video Movie Club Inc. was an American video rental chain serving the United States and Canada.
The Family Video branch in Hawkins featured a variety of movies, including Sixteen Candles, Scarface, National Lampoon's Vacation, The Outsiders, and Firestarter. It was adjacent to the Palace Arcade.
By 1985, Keith, a former Palace employee, had started working at Family Video. In October of that year, Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley were hired at the store after they lost their previous jobs at Scoops Ahoy, following the shocking destruction of Starcourt Mall.
History[]
1984[]
On October 30, 1984, the Byers and Bob watched Mr. Mom, one of the movies Jonathan picked out from Family Video.
1985[]
In October of 1985, Robin and Steve applied to Family Video three months after Starcourt Mall burned down and they lost their jobs at Scoops Ahoy. Keith agreed to hire Robin, but refused to hire Steve, until Robin convinced him it would attract a lot of female customers.
1986[]
Robin and Steve still work at Family Video and, when investigating a series of murders, use Family Video's computer system to identify a close associate of Eddie Munson.
Behind the scenes[]
The filming location for the store was located at 6500 Church Street in Douglasville, Georgia. The abandoned store renovated and converted into a video store for the show. It is next door to the location used to film the Palace Arcade.
