Rarer Evil Dead Video Collection

[EvilDeadChainsaws]

Not sure if I can mention trading on this forum? Even if thats out of bounds I'd still be
interested to see what rarer Evil Dead stuff other people have in their collections.

The below list is some of the rarer unreleased Evil Dead stuff I've picked up here and
there over the years, this list doesn't include retail stuff like DVDs & VHS that can be
bought in shops, just stuff thats not been officially released & is ONLY available as a
bootleg copy. Everything listed below ranges from high VHS quality, down to almost
unwatchable VHS quality. All the screenshots shown are actual size.

Might I ask how one came across some of these goodies?

I've been building up this collection for some years now. Some of it was bought from
bootleg DVD websites, try http://www.stumpydisks.com & http://www.rustedrare.com
They both sell assorted evil dead bits and pieces on bootleg DVD. Most of the stuff in
my list noted as 'DVD' will have been from one of these two sites.

The rarer & better quality VCD/DVD stuff was mainly traded from other collectors,
In Particular someone off IMDB, contact the person who started this thread:

I traded with him a while back but haven't been in contact with him lately.

ah thanks for posting those

[Demonovation]

I have 2 VHS tapes of stuff that Tom Sullivan sent me after I interviewed him for this site way back when.

Tape 1

Within the Woods
Book of the Dead Trailer
Stryker's War
Cleveland Smithy Bounty Hunter
Torro, Torro, Torro
The Blind Waiter

Tape 2

Evil Dead Trailer
Detroit Magazine covers the Evil Dead Premier
William Shakespeare THE MOVIE
Attack of the Helping Hand
The Sappy Sap
Shemp Eats the Moon (ending is cut short)
Evil Dead Siskel and Ebert Review
Another classic bad review of Evil Dead
Tom Sullivan classic interview
Evil Dead II Trailer
Behind the Screams Evil Dead II

I did trade Tape 1 a while back and I believe it was the person I traded with that originally uploaded Within the Woods to the internet. I recently did a side by side comparison and the flaws in both are almost identical. However I believe my copy is a bit cleaner and brighter. I have no way of creating a digital version of these tapes.

I can transfer from vhs-pc if anyone can tell me where to get other stuff.

[EvilDeadChainsaws]

I emailed and offered to do the same thing joda, or to trade for a copy. If anyone else gets a hold of this set I'd be happy to trade for a copy

UPDATED LIST, added some new bits & added some screenshots

Also anyone interested in the quest to trace better copies of the shorts & how
they got released in the first place should read through the couple of pages on
this forum thread:
