To cut a long story short me and a couple of guys in the US, who used to trade a lot of Skinny Puppy bootlegs, went on a mad scavenger hunt to track down a copy of the original fund rasier for The Evil Dead - Within The Woods - about 4-5 years ago. Eventually Scott Spiegel's assistant was tracked down who parted with a copy of the film made from his dub of Spiegel's copy (so 3rd Gen) along with about 2 hours worth of very early shorts made by Spiegel, Sam Raimi, and Bruce Campbell. I have copies on VCD (this was pre-DVD burner days) but never wound up getting copies on DVD and I remember one of the shorts was left off because the video was so poor it was really only an audio track. I was wondering if anyone here has any of these shorts on DVD. This guy has the collection we uncovered - but I'm not sure if it's just taken from my VCDs (I traded them out a few times) SVCDs which were later made, a generated tape dub - or the 3rd gen dub properly encoded as a DVD.

I also have vague memories of another trader about 5 years ago having a site which listed other early Bruce and Sam films I never got my hands on, off hand one was a film about a bank heist which was an hour long and was filmed in one continuous take on one camera. Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about..?
But yes - I'd love to see some rare Bruce Campbell features on a DVD. I know I also have a very funny Hail To The King trailer on disc somewhere which Bruce crops up in.
