It was a wonderful birthday present to find 2 people reply to my thread about this amazing show on Dec. 7…
As of now? The only update I have is this: I found SLP (EP?) Mode VHS tapes of The Nightmare Café episodes 4/“Heart of the Mystery”(Partial 30+mins of a WKEF broadcast) 5/“Sanctuary for a Child” (WKEF) and 6/“Aliens Ate My Lunch” (WKEF) I was also able to locate an SLP mode tape with all but the Pilot episode taped from the Sci-Fi series collection circa March 1995. I have a VCR that can pull a pretty stable picture off of them.
I believe an entity called “Bob Betamax” intends to sell a Blu-ray using rips from the Chiller broadcasts. Which gives me hope that a community member somewhere has those versions.
In the interest of preserving the show and as many versions of the episodes as possible, I’d like to preserve these tapes digitally. Can anyone give me some recommendations as to the best method for transferring them? I really am a complete noob but I would love to learn. Thanks again for your time and help with this project!
