Lost Bad Movies

[dcj2112]

I love reading about lost media but a lot of the time the discussions gravitate towards more well known stuff. Like that Silent Hitchcock movie set in rural America.

I'm curious about the super obscure bad stuff that the Wikipedia page on lost movies doesn't cover nor do similar places.

What made me think of this thread is listening to some Something Weird commentaries where they keep bringing up the Herschell Gordon Lewis movie The Year of the Yahoo as a lost movie. For those who don't know that movie was found not too long after those commentaries were recorded. You can pick it up as a double feature with another Lewis film, This Stuff'll Kill You, probably for under $15.

Lon Chaney's first movie was a western.

Nest of the cuckoo bird was found recently, or some of it. I still haven't watched it.

I remember when Something Weird bought the only copy of The Bushwacker, which I then watched.

I can't remember the name of the site, but before social media took over, there was this one site that had a lot of these....

It had HWY: An American Pastoral (1969) by Jim Morrison, The Tony Clifton Show, and a page dedicated to The Day The Clown Cried years before anybody else was talking about it.

Nah, the site I'm thinking of was American, & wound up doing it's self in with some of those preformatted web pages & blogs & what not....

I'm thinking it was (something) cinema) or cinema (something)...

A whole lot's changed, & I've gone through a few hard drives since then.

No information.
Probably Thai, 1960s.
Only a trailer remains.

Possibly not a bad movie, but I'd love to see London After Midnight.

The original version of Doris Wishman's A Night to Dismember was believed to be lost - the print was destroyed by a disgruntled employee. Just a few years ago the films cameraman found a video master of the original cut in his garage or something. He uploaded it to youtube. Lost, but found again.

A lot of the so-called "subsidy features" made in SA during the 1980s were lost, either through over use or through the fact that the filmmakers didn't pay their lab bills and the labs destroyed the films. Many were archived with us but some weren't.

The WEIRD ONES (1962) is a lost horror/ comedy directed by comic book artist Pat Boyette ( who also directed the cheapie  the DUNGEON OF HARROW the same year.) The last know print was  destroyed in a garage fire.

That's the Holy Grail of lost horror movies!

Found It!
It was subterranean cinema.
As I recall, they'd found a copy of the companion book that was supposed to accompany screenings of El Topo, & were working on a documentary, White Roses For Domino, intended as a companion piece to Domino (2005), but like I said, FaceBook & WordPress ruined it..........

there's a lot of lost movies i've been dying to see for years yes London after Midnight (1927) is one of them it's amazing that it did exist until (1967) when the fire occurred i know they say that was the last prints but i dunno they've found prints of how many movies that were going to be Destoryed sorry for the bad spelling,  Nosferatu (1922) is one for example that was ordered to be burned by Bram Stoker's Widow yet that was one lucky enough to still exist somehow so i'm hopeful that someone does have a print somewhere. more films are found than there i think used to be and certain ones that were found that were thought lost forever and how many of them have said all the prints had been lost?


and than it pops out of nowhere that a print shows up so i'm hopeful. Silent era is another good site as well
