My dad's been on an eBay kick lately, and yesterday he surprised me with a tape of the Ed Wood episode of The Incredibly Strange Film Show. It was most excellent, and the clips of future episodes at the end left me hungry for more. Anyone know where I can get any other episodes?
Also, at the end of the tape there was the beginning of the episode on Tsui Hark, which was unfortunately cut off after a few minutes. However, the bit I saw included a clip from a movie called "We're Going to Eat You," evidently a kung fu/cannibal/social satire/splatter comedy. It looked amazing-- anyone know of a video release?
Cinefear.com sells copies of most of the episodes of The Incredibly Strange Film Show. Sadly, they're not listed on their on-line catalog, you have to get their MAIN catalog to find them.
I agree with you- I fell in love with that show and years ago I bought copies from a guy who taped them when they first aired in England in 1988(For THE INCREDIBLY SRANGE FILM SHOW) and 1989 (For SON OF THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE FILM SHOW.) I LOVE all 12 episodes!
In no particular order:
1.ED WOOD
2.EL SANTO
3.SAM RAIMI
4.JOHN WATERS
5.JACKIE CHAN
6.TED V MIKELS
7.RUSS MEYER
8.H.G. LEWIS
9.RAY DENNIS STECKLER
10.TSUI HARK/STUART GORDON
11.DORIS WISHMAN/FRED OLEN RAY
12.GEORGE ROMERO
Check Video Mayhem's website . . . they have a lot of Asian imports on VHS and DVD. I bought a couple of DVDs from them, and I was pleased with the transaction.
Vermin Boy,
I just dug out my Cinefear.com paper catalog and it looks like the only episodes they sell are:
John Waters
George Romero
the Tsui Hark/Stuart Gordon combined episode(It SHOULD have been all-Tsui!)
Ed Wood (which you already have)
Ted V Mikels
Herschell Gordon Lewis
Ray Dennis Steckler
Jackie Chan
For the remaining 4 episodes (El Santo, Sam Raimi, Russ Meyer, and the Doris Wishman/Fred Olen Ray combined episode) you may have to surf the 'net.
The late, lamented Blackestheart.com sold ALL the episodes but they're gone now!
Thanks! I might have to go after those (along with some of those garage band videos from the 60s). How much are they selling them for?
They sell them at a rate of 2 episodes for $20.
If you have any directors you would like to have seen the show feature, I've started a thread about that topic called "Directors who SHOULD have been in..."
