The Thing In The Basement (1973) - Un corto de culto olvidado Corto de culto dirigido por Richard Taylor en 1973 y rescatado en Fright Show (1985). Un alien interrumpe una partida de póker en clave sci-fi cómica.

Un meteorito alienígena irrumpe en un sótano mientras se juega al poker: así arranca The Thing In The Basement (1973), un genial spoof de sci‑fi que solo verás en convenciones. Humor retro y encanto underground. #CultCinema #ShortFilm #SciFiShort #RetroHorror #LostFilms #70sCinema #HorrorMovies

Inside the BFI’s Mission to Preserve Classics and the 100-Year Old Holy Grail Alfred Hitchcock Print They Still Can’t Find Nearly 100 years after its original release, Alfred Hitchcock's silent feature "The Mountain Eagle" is considered a lost film by the BFI.

I always find articles about lost films fascinating. Sometimes the discovery process is an amazing story. In others it’s just an insight into how even in modern times (though it never occurs to us) things can be put permanently out of our reach.

Alright fine I’m doing it…

We need a Lost Media search party for the 1983 bootleg film Doraemon: Robot Wars. Only a 30 sec clip and a couple screenshots resurfaced online. It has been 42 years since this movie has been released yet has no home video releases.

Long-lost early 1900s silent film thought to be lost forever uncovered on Long Island The 16mm film is believed to be the only known surviving copy of "The Heart of Lincoln," a silent movie about the life of President Abraham Lincoln.

It’s discoveries like this that give me hope other long-lost films are out there somewhere.

This film about Lincoln and the Civil War was registered with The Library of Congress, but thought to be lost the last 100 years.

Doomed: The Untold Story of Roger Corman's The Fantastic Four [Blu-Ray] DOOMED! explores the circumstances surrounding the legendary cult classic Roger Corman film, THE FANTASTIC FOUR. In 1994, Mr. Corman was asked to produce this classic story on a small budget. The film was ultimately shelved prior to distribution, but a VHS copy was mysteriously leaked and the movie became a "must have" by all.

If you ever wanted to know the complicated history of Roger Corman's never (legally) released THE FANTASTIC FOUR, I highly recommend DOOMED! Amazon has this great documentary for $12.99 on Blu-ray! Order it here: amzn.to/4avoH0h #lostfilms #physicalmedia #fantasticfour #filmsky #rogercorman
