Yeah, that was me that was surprised. RiffTrax’s Holiday Special riff was audio-only for years, and then they released a VOD version, which I purchased and then realized was sourced from my v1 HS release. I suspected it immediately because the crawl looked exactly like mine, so it was both surprising and kinda cool to see something I made was kinda sorta officially released. (I posted about that somewhere in this thread I believe.) Several years later, they released an improved HS VOD which I don’t think was sourced from one of my releases, but from someone else’s release that included my v1 crawl. That’s the version they still have up I believe.

The crawl itself existed well before any of my releases and was present on the version RiffTrax originally riffed. I guess at this point we’re just not sure who originally made it and when.

EDIT: Some images of my crawls and the one mine was based on…
