Crazy this is not out still? If I get time I will just scan it for everyone for free I may have a print of it somewhere either Part 1 or Part 2…
Hey Pete, whatever happened to that “Re-Animator 35mm scan” you were going to post through your Patreon 😃
Hey everyone,
I want to address the accusations around the Re-Animator leak. Honestly, I find it ironic that my integrity is being questioned. Let me be clear: I did not leak that film. If you think otherwise, I challenge you—show me a single shred of evidence that directly links me to posting or sharing it. You won’t find it. Accusations without proof are just noise.
Now, for those who actually know my work, you’ll know I’ve put in serious time and effort into this community. I’ve helped bring real visibility to 35mm scans—actual visibility, not just chatter. People in the industry are talking about it now. I’ve traveled, I’ve met people, and I’ve done the groundwork.
Also, I’ve delivered on every promise I’ve made—often in under a month. And unlike others who just threw money at a Cintel, I took the time to understand the mechanics and build my own 35mm scanner. I’m not here to just ride a trend—I’m here to perfect the process.
So before throwing out accusations, maybe take a moment to look at the bigger picture and ask: what have you done to move this scene forward?
Let’s stop with the finger-pointing and actually work together. On that note—regarding Toy Story—I thought I had copies of the first and second films, but I was mistaken. If anyone can get me the reels, I’ll scan them for free. Let’s make something positive out of this.
Maybe embracing our passions is the way forward? You guys all thought I was full of shit & it turned out that I was for real. So what you guys unfairly judged me… Happens… But lets all move forward.
Re- Toy story I will help out for free as much as i can to not let the people in this thread down. Big love guys.
You put up on your Patreon that you were releasing a 35mm scan of Re-Animator. I still have the screenshot before you took it down when everyone messaged you. It was also posted in the Discord. You were literally trying to make money off the scan I paid a lot of money for. And I know for a fact that you don’t have a scan of it. Especially then. You aren’t very smart.
So did I leak it or not? Did you ever ask your self that the picture was just a picture to throw people off & I released Batman… Dude, I never leaked your film or make money doing this at all. Also, if I wanted a Re-Animator badly with out paying. I would scan my print & scan the film myself.
Honestly, I think maybe do some research on me. I supported your releases not because I needed the film but because you are a fellow fan of scanned films. I actually, I have a massive collection & I am buying prints every day.
Scan of what? Re-Animator? Actually I can prove to you right now that i donated. maybe check under my other handle? lol… Jesus christ you guys are out to lunch… You even made 2 versions ding dong…
Also you did napoleon dynamite? Did i share that?
“Did you ever ask your self that the picture was just a picture to throw people off & I released Batman…” Ok, I’m going to be very blunt and this is the last time I’m ever responding to you. You either think everyone else is mentally handicapped, you’re the worst liar in existence, or you’re actually less smart than I ever could have imagined. I’m actually astonished you actually wrote this out and thought another human being would take it seriously. You donated 10 dollars to 1 project and then you immediately started sharing clips of it on Twitter calling it your “personal”. And then you made a Patreon saying you had a “35mm scan of Re-Animator”. I have your Patreon archived from then on two separate sites, and have a screenshot. Anyone in the world can go look at the archived web page see that you were going to release a “35mm scan of Re-Animator” after you received my encodes, and were showing it on Twitter. At least you haven’t tried to make the even worse argument that it was one of your blurays with grain and scratches slapped on it. These are not supposed to be shared anywhere at all, in any capacity. That’s why all my projects are now done in private topics with a handful of trusted donors and in the locked away discord section. And all this is extra hilarious because you were the only one who said you didn’t want to talk to anyone on OT or Discord anymore. Remember when Dave talked to you and you acted all nice and said you just wanted to be left alone, then right after blocked everyone and started crying on Twitter, making up shit and posting your inept videos? I’ve tried to be nice to you and I don’t care if you whine and cry about me until Jesus comes back, but I’m 100% not going to let you come to someone else’s topic and let you act like a maniacal asshole. Especially when YOU said you didn’t want anything to do with this place or the Discord server. Remember we’re the “OT guys” and we just “want to bring you down”? So why are you even here? We all know why.
Did I leak it? lol… You see your not even full saying that I’ve leaked. You tripping out cause you think “tried to leak it” Jesus dude really? Mate if I want I could just scan my own print of re-animator on my own scanner… I think this is much a do about nothing mate… Honestly…
But it was ok when people jumped in my stuff right? I mean lets be honest here? At least I am offering help & to work together.
I think over all maybe you need to chill do a bit of back round on what I am doing & just admit you are wrong mate. I mean. Its all good, the guy explained the context of the release. All is good, maybe you should breathe for a second.
I was wondering, what condition is this print in?
It was shockingly clean! The condition is extremely nice overall, with just one splice on the third reel. I think people will be really happy with how the final scan turns out. 😃
All good man happy you got it done at the end. Maybe I needed a bit more context my bad. What kind of scanner?
The reason why I don’t recommend before people have kittens is due to the fact prices on Ebay are not correct. The price for thrashed prints are 10x the value in some cases. Can you get lucky? Sure… But the way to get titles is basically by trading for other titles. Also for ones who want to rent prints. Again I don’t recommend it becomes pricey.
The key is go on market place be willing to travel & do as much buying in the wild, get a strong 4 or 5 titles & start trading with other collectors… best way… anyways good luck… if you need help let me know…
By the way, this is a message to WRDZ/Dexx/whoever else runs the FPRR server on Discord– please unblock me and re-add me to your server so I can kee contact with people there who donated. I genuinely did not do anything wrong and I am so utterly floored by the disrespect I’ve been shown by your people. I have plenty of screenshots as well to show that I was being completely reasonable and didn’t deserve to be booted entirely from your community.
If I don’t hear from any of you soon, I am going to look into sending out mass refunds for the project. This isn’t an empty threat, I have several hundreds of dollars in excess funds due to circumstances surrounding the cleaning/shipping processes, and I will GLADLY do what I can to keep anybody in your server from accessing this labor of love we have worked so hard on, including potentially people who have nothing to do with it. I have no reason to trust anybody in your server won’t try and leak the scan anyways with what’s gone on there in the past, so I am MORE than happy to keep this project within my inner-circle of people at this point.
I’m doing being naively amicable about this and I’m done letting you people take advantage of my hospitality. Please and thank you.
Hey boss,
I don’t think you are guilty of taking advantage of anyone. I feel your heart is in the right place. But I do feel you are guilty for poor planning. The way I promise a title is I make sure 100% that I have it in hand & if I can’t delivery. Which so far knock wood hasn’t offer equal to better than title. My members then hold it down for a few months then after that it’s open season for anyone to have.
Honestly unless you are collector & have your own scanner I dont really recommend doing fundraisers… its just too risky and a headache…
Anyways guys,
Lets stop, lets work together? Lets get films scanned. Pointing fingers & just admitting maybe you were wrong is not the end of the world. But that’s it isn’t it, people admitting they were wrong. There should be no egos cause this about the films not us. We didn’t make the films, we are just here to help archive them…

You’ve sent $10.00 USD to Devin Stambolziovski
(You are very out to lunch my friend)
I originally came to this site with good intentions. I even started a Patreon to support my scanning efforts. But right after posting, my content was blocked.
So I decided to do my own thing—something a little different from what others are doing—and suddenly I’m getting hit with a wave of criticism.
On top of that, I’ve had moderators threaten me with cease-and-desist notices, and my Vimeo account was taken down.
Meanwhile, there are fundraisers here that haven’t delivered anything in two years. I’ve consistently released a new scan every month at the highest quality. Clearly, I must be doing something right.
Crazy this is not out still? If I get time I will just scan it for everyone for free I may have a print of it somewhere either Part 1 or Part 2…

Also heads up, for the people who feel I was some sort of leaker. I am not a leaker. Actually I’ve supported, never leaked anything. Often times supporting & not getting anything in return.
Also with Rob god bless him but I’ve paid & bought every single Rob Nostolgia disc I have…

The only ones actively contributing are Rob and myself. The key difference is that Rob approaches this purely as a business, aiming to generate profit. In contrast, I operate on a non-profit basis—every donation goes directly toward scanning and raising awareness.
I’m already established and successful in the arts, so for me, film isn’t about money—it’s about passion and purpose. I truly care. Even with our fundraisers, after three months we make the scans freely available to the public, especially for those who can’t afford access.
