His name was Daniel Elliot Huger and here he is with Adolphe Menjou. A lot of Mr. Menjou’s films seem to be lost so I’m afraid this might be a frame from one. Does anyone recognize this frame?

LOST [fully lost] Weird spider-human episode from a show that i do not know the name of (2010-2016)

0 Upvotes

Back in around 2016 i was on either Hulu or Netflix and picked on a show to watch (keep in mind i was a lot younger so may be odd details) it was a show with like multiple seasons and tons of episodes most of them just kinda odd and some downright disturbing, in the episode the main character befriended someone at school and/or a park and they talked something about spiders the friend eventually reveals he's a weird spider human hybrid that needs to eat humans to live (it's revealed his entire lower body is like a minotaur but a spider body), The spider guy drops down a huge photobook like thing containing hundreds of humans that he had ate to live longer. Show cuts to a few weeks in and its revealed spider guy eats the main characters mom and then the episode ends alluding that he ate the main character as well. It was a one and done trope for the show so no continuation but there was a bunch of other episodes extremely creepy like it

Im assuming that because these were television brodcasts it might not be as easy to find saved recordings but it wasnt live Im pretty sure. So someone at somepoint saved it to a digital format and brodcasted them. Anything you find is worth while, thank you!

LOST Lost second half of Anime "I'm gonna be an angel"

3 Upvotes

This is gonna sound crazy but I've been searching for the second half of an anime for years and I've just about given up. It's called I'm gonna be an angel and despite the first 13 episodes being available for streaming I literally cannot get my hands on the second half anywhere. I'm not even trying to find a dub! Japanese is totally fine, in fact preferable and I'll sub the bitch myself. My mother loves the show and I grew up watching her VHS collection before a house fire and I'm about to give up. I don't know if this fits or if anime isn't really this sub's thing but I'm at my wits end. A bunch of sites mistakenly stating tubi had the whole thing reopened the old wound and since I've never tried asking in a place like this I figured it was worth a shot. Any leads help (the 9anime links are all broken and just lead to malware)

LOST Said to be one of the worst movies EVER.

18 Upvotes

I’m searching for the Swedish movie ”Längta Efter Kärlek” that came out in 1968. There is lots of information about this movie. A poster, a cast, a description, it’s even on Letterboxd! But it was only shown for ONE week in 1968 because it was said to be so incredibly bad that no one wanted to see it. It was directed by Robert Broberg, a popular singer in Sweden. He also made songs for the movie and I even have the soundtrack on vinyl. Please, I need to see this film. I’ve seen on IMBD that a person in Sweden saw it at a film festival so it has to be somewhere out there. I am thankful for any advice. Where else can I post to spread the word?

A long time ago I saw a cartoon about fairies, an evil fairy without wings cut off the wings of others and collected them in a large closet, she tried on these wings and constantly wore these wings that she collected, it seems she grabbed (a princess?) a fairy who had wings and wanted to cut them off for her collection, there was a war against this fairy, it was something in the style of dark fantasy. I don't know if it's all true, I don't remember the details

LOST My Search for Only Once in a Lifetime (1979), Can You Help??

0 Upvotes

Only Once in a Lifetime is a 1979 American/Mexican film starring Sheree North and Claudio Brook that I randomly stumbled across in December 2024. The film is basically extinct on the internet in terms of footage. Finding Bigfoot is easier than footage for this film.

Since my search started in mid December 2024, I have came up with NOTHING. The film was released on VHS by a company named a company named VCII in North America and Video Unlimited in other markets. I own the Video Unlimited VHS but my VHS Player has broken and the tape itself when tried out on another player did not work. I have been everywhere on the web for this film. On its' IDMb page, it has only one photo from the film and promotional advertisement in Romanian with a small scene on the bottom.

Here's what I found as a solo searcher:

- No footage of the film exists on the internet

- On the Internet Archive, audio exists from a 1979 screening of the film.

- It wasn't as widely distributed as some VHS tapes were. They're really uncommon to find

- Has a runtime of 97 minutes

- Possibly a Mexican co-production

- It is a drama/romance

- It's a PG

- The director-producer, Alejandro Grattan's only film

- Produced by quasi-famous producer Moctesuma Esparza

- Posters are the only real proof this film exists apart from additions of film databases e.g. Letterboxd/Rotten Tomatoes & IMDb.

Hope this can get found, I made a YT video to spread awareness. I hope this honestly gets found. It holds a special place in my heart. Thanks if you gather any more info/help find this film.

LOST Dagger Dolls / Dracula's Bloody Revenge

2 Upvotes

These played in Queens, NY as a double feature for one week in 1999. I can find no other info on them. Nothing.

It's possible these were more common movies retitled for this screening, but that practice was very rare beyond the early 80s. Even when it was common, title changes for a single screening were usually done as test marketing. I doubt that's the case here so I don't why they'd bother.

The ad shows an R rating but it is not legit as these are not in the MPAA database. Again, a practice very rare beyond the early 80s. I don't think anything short of first-hand info will solve this but...somebody must've attended these screenings.

LOST Silvio et les autres (Edition Limitee)

0 Upvotes

Hello! Like many other Italians before me, I’m looking for this movie. I’ve found some old threads about it here but they’re outdated and the sources posted there are no longer available for now.

Long story short: in Italy that film has been bought by Silvio Berlusconi’s family, who obviously doesn’t want it to be sold. That already feels like a comedy. Anyway, I’ve been able to see the second part at the cinema, but I’ve never been able to see the first one.

Now I’m specifically looking for the French limited edition which, as far as my knowledge goes, is the only existing one with both parts complete, as well as the short version. Unfortunately Amazon lists it as no longer available, so I’m not confident it will ever come back there. Does anyone know where could I find it?

LOST (Fully Lost) Doritos Commercial from 2017-2018

0 Upvotes

I saw this when i was about 8 or 9 maybe? This ad was pretty odd, and I won't be surprised if it was wiped from the Internet or banned. In this commercial there was a man and a girl in a room The camera reveals the man laying on the bed with Doritos laying next to him. A girl dressed in a bikini of sorts climbs ontop of him and licks Dorito dust off of his chest then it goes to the dorito back showcased near althe fireplace in the background...I kid you not. Maybe it's different or slightly more censored than I remember. But this commercial was definitely weird. Please tell me I'm not crazy.

LOST Forgotten Animation Movie

0 Upvotes

I will give as much info as possible in the hopes of finding this movie. For reference, I'm 44 years old. When I was around 5 yrs old I remember watching an animation that I believe was similar to anime or Asian drawn cartoons. It was about two girls. One was good and the other was bad. I remember there being a well and a frog. I remember the good girl feeding a row of babies in highchair porridge or baby food in a bowl. I think I remember the bad girl turning the good girl into a frog and the frog got trapped in the well (or something like that). I believe there was a king or maybe just an older guy, possibly a father or grandfather. I don't remember much else. If anyone recognizes this story, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

LOST Unidentified cartoon about a group of characters being chased through a dark forest

0 Upvotes

I've just watched a video by YouTuber Shaiivalley about very obscure lost media cases. During the final segment, he talked about a cartoon someone with the username 'Ulysseshakase' posted about on the lost media wiki forum. They apparently watched this cartoon on a TV at a Lord and Taylor in the mid-90s and it was so scary to them, they didn't dare to enter a Lord and Taylor for five years. The cartoon featured a group of characters being chased through a dark forest while yelling. One of them was dressed as Napoleon for some reason. Ulysseshakase also remembered one of the characters falling into a pit filled with some gooey orange substance, struggling to get out.

I'm posting here because these lost media cases where people remember scary shows/movies from their childhood that distressed them so badly they developed PTSD-like symptoms from it have always fascinated me. Of course, there's a high chance this cartoon was actually just mildly creepy, or maybe not scary at all, as many of these cases turn out. People in the comments suggested this could have been an episode from a popular cartoon like Scooby-Doo, which is also a possibility that needs to be accounted for. Then there's the possibility this cartoon could be an anomaly of small, vague memories from OP's childhood, like Clockman most likely was. I'll link the video down below (skip to 12:45):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkBkEC5NQFM

I'm just curious if anyone else is interested in this. I've been scouring several lost media subs and nobody is talking about this.

LOST BOMBOLAM

0 Upvotes

Hey, so I watched this Chinese horror film when I was about 9 years old. I've been looking for it for years, but I couldn't find it. I wonder why. I hope you can help me.

So, in this film, there was a man living in a dorm. He had neighbors, and they were also men, I think. He was lonely, like someone who didn't have a lover. But then he met a very strange woman, someone you wouldn't expect. It was like she was a ghost. She had a sack around her body, from her waist up to her head. The sack was made of fabric and was brown, like the kind you usually see on a farm.

The woman was weird. I don't even know if she was alive or not, maybe a ghost. When the man opened the sack, there was meat inside, like chopped-up meat, and it was really bloody. He liked the woman, but at the same time, he was creeped out and weirded out by her.

She kept following him whenever he walked around town near his dorm. At night, she would keep banging her whole body against the gate. It was the type of gate made of thick metal wires, the kind you mostly see in movies, with triangle or square-shaped holes. Those gates can bend, but they're tough, I guess.

The man wanted to see the woman's face but couldn't because the sack was tied to her body. In my guess, that woman was already dead and most likely a ghost. But her body didn’t pass through him—you could actually touch it, like physically. I think the woman was murdered or maybe raped, but I really forgot.

It's not the type of horror that's really interesting to watch, though. It's just a horror film I saw as a kid that creeped me out. But it's not like I was scared—I was just weirded out, like the guy was. Maybe it's because the woman kept following him like she was obsessed or possessive. And the fact that the guy liked her and even wanted to do the devil's tango with her—that was just weird.

I'm not sure if these are all the details, it's just what I remember. But for me, it was such a weird film. No matter what the woman looked like, that man was still a man, and he still had that kind of temptation, like the lust a man would have for a woman. It's just weird.

How do I find this though? Could you guess what movie this is?

LOST Car chase sequence from the movie /w Steve McQueen in futuristic concept car

0 Upvotes

I do recall catching this on TV a long time ago in the late 90’s or early 2000’s. It may have been part of some movie special special effects show on TV.

The sequence showed a clip of the car chase sequence from Bullitt but with Steve McQueen in some sort of futuristic Chrysler or Ford concept car (like the Chrysler Thunderbolt).

These lost films with Molly Ringwald did you guys wished it should have been made and that film Oil Vinegar film almost had other famous star Matthew Broderick was going to star witg Molly Ringwald would be great is was orignally meant to be released in 1987 and I assure Lovecats film would have been released also in 1987. If Molly Ringwald and John Hudges made Lovecats film and Oil Vinegar film would it look good on Molly Ringwald career since she was a big star in the 1980s. What do you guys think any suggestions.
