Hey guys. This may be a movie most people don’t like, but it’s very important to me for whatever reason. It’s looked down upon quite a bit, but if you ignore the crappy sequels, this first film isn’t all that bad. It’s by no means a masterpiece, but it has an interesting charm to it. I’ve been wanting to track down a print of this for quite a while and I finally found one. It’s approximately 720 dollars to purchase the print, and I’m starting to save up ASAP. If you want, you could send me a pm to donate for the purchase of the print.

If nobody is interested in donating, that’s OK. I’m perfectly willing to fund the purchase of the print myself.

Here’s a link to the listing.

Though for the most part laughable, the infamous TMNT concert tour has never been properly released since the days of VHS, and to this day is not even on DVD or any streaming services. This project will be to take the original 1990 VHS of the show itself and the “making of” and upscale them in HD. It will also feature a commercial for the tour and the Nostalgia Critic and AVGN mash-up review of the making of as bonus features.

This is a project I’ve wanted to do for many years, so I’m very excited to make it happen.

This project is on hiatus as I continue to work on several other projects. I’ll start work on it again sometime next year.

Working on a new 2K version of Both “American Movie” and “Coven”. Will be released as the raw MOV exports and a barebones bluray iso using TSMuxerGUI. The deleted scenes and trailer will also be included.

The 60th Anniversary blu-ray of Psycho is nice in that its the uncut version, but the mono mix on it is just a downscale of the DTS X mix which is rather disappointing as the 50th Anniversary bluray had the original mono mix.

Remember Victor Buono? Did you know he starred in a practically unknown horror film as a cannibal butcher? Interestingly, this film predates The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which of course is also about preparing and selling human meat. It was an Italian film, so it probably had an Italian audio track at some point. It was released under several names including “Meat Is Meat”, “The Vienna Strangler” and “The Mad Butcher”.

The film is VERY rare, only existing on a crappy dvd from the early 2000s, which is now rather pricey and only has the english audio. Despite this, using the wonders of AI technology, I’m going to do an HD upscale of it just for fun.

I’d just like everyone to know that I’ve taken into account the various problems with Version 1 of this project. First and foremost, it was encoded at 30fps for the purposes of making a blu-ray, which is not an easy thing to do for a mac user. I use Adobe Encore for making blu-rays, and the lowest framerate it can accept without lagging is 30fps. Therefore, I will from now on release all of my projects as as the raw MOV files that are made in Final Cut Pro. Version 2 of Shrek will happen sometime later this year, but I’d like to take a break to work on some of my old projects that have just as many people interested. First and foremost, I am returning to work on my Devo project. It won’t be as lavish as I originally intended, but It will have as many Bonus Features as I can possibly come up with.

Again, I’m sorry about the problems with the Shrek restoration. They have been noted and will be fixed by the time Version 2 happens.

Its finally here! PM me for a link.

Version 1 uploading right now!

I just got the 2021 blu-ray of Fast Times At Ridgemont High. The 5.1 Mix was ok, but I’m shocked Criterion didn’t include the mono mix.

Version 4 is now available via PM.

Trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVSXlrfUcoo

Version 4 is uploading now. There will be no further revisions after this version. Thanks to everyone who has supported this project, and a very special thanks to Turisu for donating the UK BD source. 😃

Due to time constraints, I’ve decided to make this project far more bare bones than I originally envisioned, meaning the project will be initially released as a collection of all the videos in their raw exported MOV format. The bonus features are on hold for now. This goes for all the projects I’m currently working on, such as the Weird Al Project, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Howling and a project that is being kept secret until it’s release. The Shrek project will not be affected by this.

All the projects will eventually be released as a blu-ray with bonus features, but for now I’m gonna keep things simple.

so by the fact that scanning is done and the bluray is in production
its going to be released sometime in August-September right?

Is this gonna be synced to the blu-ray?

Probably not, at least not at first. I may do multiple versions with more audio tracks, but the added music cue on the bluray really bugs me. The audio from the print, though it’s the Russian dub, confirmed that it’s not suppose to be there. Still, Thanks for sending me the blu-ray tracks. 😃

I personally think these tests are a little dark. It will be easier to determine how it should look once I get the 4K scan.

1080p Color Tests while I wait for the full res 4K scan to arrive. These are just for study.

The scan has been paid for, and the files are on the way. First release will be both 4K and 1080p versions with 3 audio tracks, Stereo, Surround & Optical Russian. They will be released as MKV files that will come with a special thanks to all who helped out in this project. We’re almost there!

You’re not going to include the dubs I sent you?

They’re from the bluray, which has an added music cue that wasn’t in the theatrical version.

There’s still an uncut original version on Cinemassacre, which I have downloaded and will use as my source.
