OK, now before anyone gets excited about these being capped form a 3rd gen dub they look and sound bad. The original negative these were taken from is in a horrible state and generally they are very dark and have low, poor sound. Asuming the DVD cap is got is there someone here who is good at doing a remaster of videos (playing with brightness/colour levels and remastering the audio tracks)?
OK, now since I got these I'm fairly certain the Evil Dead Trailer and Book Of The Dead Trailer cropped up on the special edition of The Evil Dead - this will have to be checked. I also noted that Styker's War was released on DVD in limited quanitites a few years back. Does anyone have this? I'm guessing what I have is actually a different cut or a workprint, imbd made it out like Bruce isn't in it much - but have a quick look now (been years since I watched it) he's in the start a lot (smoking a cigar no less) and this cut is only about 45 mins long and has a real make-shift credits at the end.
Another question - did XYZ Murders come out on DVD? I know there was a laserdisc, and is a trailer on it?
I also found my SVCD of Within The Woods and The Book Of The Dead Trailer. Now, as mentioned above it does not look great even though it's as low gen as you're going to get - the print Scott Spiegel has is in a bad way, but it's basically as good as you're going to get until it actually gets a real release (which may never happen). This Dub it was captured from was also sent to Anchor Bay for possible inclusion on a DVD they were putting out years ago (likly before Raimi decided to remaster from his print).
Annoyingly right now I can't find my Hail To The King trailer, it was on an old VCD and I found it a few months ago and stuck it on youtube so it is about here somewhere! I also have a cool short video that was a fan made vid for SKinny Puppy's Who's Laughing Now (which heavily samples Evil Dead 2) and is made up from clips of the film - with the samples. It was made back in the late 80s, early 90s on an analogue deck so it's pretty vintage. However it's currently MIA also, but will turn up...
Possible other things that could be located:
On youtube is you type in Bruce Campbell someoen at comicaon this year has recorded his Q/A, someone could message that guy and tell him about the project. Those 2 Sam/Bruce made music videos - again message the guy who put them up. Also, I forget the film's name, but some guy made a low buget film about a wonder drug that was meant to be better than sex, and it was sort of a documentary, but anyhow as legend goes Bruce did a short bit for it at one of his book signings and it was included in the original cut of the film - however the Actors Guild/Union came down hard on Bruce because he has done this short cameo and Bruce had to call up this young film maker and ask him to take the clip out of the film. It's possible this clip could be located and included on this project.
Are there any other OOP or region exclusive Bruce clips from old DVDs/Laserdiscs?
With regards to the Evil Dead 2 workprint: I don't want to sound like a killjoy but about 5 years ago me and some friends were offered this and when the tape turned up it just turned out to be a generated dub of the film, and not a workprint - so don't get your hopes up too much.
OK, so how serious are people about this project and who is going to be involved in putting it together? I culd may be upload the VCDs I have so the people who are compiling this can see what is available.
OK, end of this long post. Thanks for the info and enthusiasm guys!
