Within The Woods (1979)
The Blind Waiter (1980)

The Sappy Sap (1985)


Does anyone have any of the other shorts? I know from the various compilation
DVDs I have and have seen offered, there seems to be both a decent and a
crappy DVD VHSrip version of each one doing the rounds. I have both quality
versions of all of them except 'The Blind Waiter' which is only the crappy version.

I also have the Evil Dead 2 Workprint DVD. Its only about 45 mins long and
contains the first & last parts of the film but they're more or less shot for
shot as they are in the finished film except for 2 short shots; one extra shot
of the workshed and a shot of the piano with what looks like steam pipes coming
out (although the picture quality is ok the video has alot of damage making it
break up frequently), and the music is all temp mixed, it also has a TCR. Also
on this disc I got some shorts (Cleveland Smith Bounty Hunter / Torro, Torro,
Torro! / The Blind Waiter / Attack Of The Helping Hand / Evil Dead 2 Trailer /
The Sappy Sap / BTS intruder (night crew) footage & Raimi Interview) All the
crappy quality versions.

One thing I've been on the hunt for ages is Greg Nicotero's behind the scenes
camcorder footage from 'Evil Dead 2'. I think there's around 6 unedited hours
or so of it. I know there are some very short clips in the 'Gore The Merrier'
feturette on the AB ED2 DVD. Currently I've only been able to track down about
72 mins on a BTS compilation DVD, that DVD also features camcorder footage from
'NOTLD90' & 'Two Evil Eyes', both also shot by Nicotero. If anyone else has any
more of this footage and wants to trade, PM me!

Enjoy 

as for the other shorts by him, i cant find them ANYWHERE  (except within the woods of course which is on google video)

Greg Nicotero himself has said he cannot find the 6 hours of film he did during the making of Evil Dead 2  as I would love to see that footage too!.

Have you got the 72 minutes BTS footage readily available? would enjoy seeing that!

Seems a shame if he cant find it, although he must have lost it recently or where
would AB have got the BTS camcorder footage from for their DVD documentary
'The gore the merrier'? Anyway, if 72mins of the footage made it onto the bootleg
circuit, then the rest may be out there too.

If you want a copy, thats fine. I really only trade bootleg DVDs (ie I don't sell them)
so PM/Email me if you want to trade?

The Blind Waiter (1980)
Toro Toro Toro (1981)
Cleveland Smith Bounty Hunter (1982)

I hope you know that Josh Becker, not Sam Raimi directed the above shorts. Sam acted in two of them though.

I know, other shorts in the list were also directed by; Bill Ward, Bruce Campbell, Josh
Becker & John Cameron either alone and in various combinations. I thought I'd stick to
'Sam Raimi Super 8 Shorts' to keep it simple for everybody.

Our quest begins, we need to collect all of these and make a bootleg box set
