UPDATE: Well that was quick. After several years of this being a mystery, the unidentified ‘Blood Girl’ cartoon has been solved as ‘Fome Noturna’, an episode from a series named Anabel Link to the episode in the description :)
And one thing I always get surprised is that almost never it comes from Locomotion ok that it was a paid channel, I don't want to remember not even half of the disturbing things I watched on that channel but if anyone likes the macabre and disturbing is a gold mine like many of its commercials there were just incredible creepy, even that most are just edgy humor like "haha piss in the homeless", but some of a dude stalking and later stabbing his neighbor for no reason or the one that the father don't want his new kid and throws the baby down the stairs but he survives but becomes wheelchair user and just ends with the kid looking sad
@@CoolMagmarMTV and Locomotion weren't that much different, their overall aesthetic was pretty similar, the difference was how it was portrayed, while MTV's had this early 2000's cool dude of the block atmosphere; Locomotion had this more pretentious, artsy, weird nerd from school athmosfere
I could see that FBI warning coming from something like a Weird Al or Nickelodeon vhs, it feels like the type of thing they could do, and get away with, in the 80s and 90s.
@SpewnyBard I was even thinking something like a Beavis and Butthead vhs tape. Definitely not from an educational tape, it's too sarcastic, but it also seems too tame for an MTV tape. I would look into comedy and parody tapes.
That "Blood Girl" animation was also shown in the Philippines at about the same year. I remember watching it in a random channel while I was eating breakfast. I am fairly certain that it was one of those Saturday cartoons since I was elementary at that time and weekends are the only time I would watch cartoons that early since I don't have class. I can vaguely remember the girl being visibly sad every time she turned water into blood. The animation wasn't creepy but has some weird vibes so I stopped watching. Maybe someone can find a lead into Philippine channels during this time.
There were some wild “warning” screens that were created by bootleg VHS and Beta dupe houses. One of my favourite is about the rights being held by Disney, and how if they find out about the bootlegs, they’ll slap you so hard with a lawsuit that your head will spin.
I think I've found the "Blood Girl short", it's called "FOME NOTURNA" and the short is nearly the same as the description. Hope it turn out to be true!
About blood girl, there was this cartoon which was a collection of shorts called Anabel. It was owned by Nickelodeon Brazil ate first but soon changed to the brazilian exclusive channel TV Rá-Tim-Bum. The shorts were about this girl called Anabel who loved everything Poe and macabre and spoky stuff happened to her everyday tbh I think it could be one of those shorts
Replying to this to hopefully help bump it up some. I don't speak the language, but I was able to find "Fome Noturna" from Anabel with a quick google search, and it had a few scenes that matched up really well with what was described, including the water tank turning to blood.
when hearing about the orange muck cartoon, my first thought is a scene from the movie Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure. There's a scene where the main characters of the film encounter a monster called The Greedy who is made up of an orange gooey substance, and characters are tossed around on it's vast, mucky body. This scene is also notable for scaring quite a lot of children who saw it.
The description of the Lord and Taylor cartoon reminds me of the Raggedy Ann and Andy movie. Rough animation, pit of orange goop (the Greedy - a monster made of melted taffy), and as a kid's film from the 70s, it probably would have been cheaper to market through those stores rather than something more recent (and more expensive). The only off detail is the Napoleon character. There's a goofy knight, a goofy king, and a goofy / creepy pirate - so OP could be remembering any of those characters... but none of them appear right before the Greedy scene. =/ Otherwise, it sounds like a strong contender for this mysterious cartoon. I wonder if it's been ruled out yet? EDIT: checked the forums, apparently it has been ruled out. Darn it...
The FBI warning feels like part of a parody sketch and not like a quirky variation on the normal warning. In other words, I think it'll turn up in the middle of a video and not at the start of the tape. Just a hunch though.
There's a couple big lost media channels on TH-cam, but this one is just SO deliberate in its presentation. The visual aesthetic and production style is iconic, and in my opinion, the best way to deliver commentary about lost media. I love this channel and its creator. As always, I'm looking forward to more.
Looks like it! It's on youtube, but I can't post the link here. My comment was removed. Regardless, I've downloaded it For people who doesn't know, It's from the Anabel cartoon, made in 2005. It's about a 7 year old "gaúcha" girl in the 30s (a term for people from Brazil's south and other countries like Argentina and Uruguay, derived from the horsemen; akin to cowboys) It seems like it was from a Halloween episode and, based on the comments, it didn't air often on TV. Probably because of the blood. In the episode, she was hungry and overeats before sleeping, then when she wakes up to find her parents and everyone else in the city gone. After the blood scene and whatnot, it ends up being an nightmare. The 'teacher' from the post turned out to be her mom, and the twist at the end was a rather boring "Was it all a dream" trope. Other than that, it matches perfectly It's not an unknown show locally, I remember watching it as a kid. It aired on Nickelodeon Brazil and other local channels, and it looks like it was also shown on America (there is dub actors only on the portuguese wikipedia page, with Kari Wahlgren and Tara Strong?). So it also corroborates with other comments that thought they saw it on Philippines, since it aired internationally
i just recently found your channel (last night actually lol) and i cant stop watching. lost media has to be one of my favorite things to watch and learn about at the moment, and you do such a great job at finding/putting as much information as you can into these videos and you keep your viewers hooked. keep up the hard work, its all gonna pay off soon!
There is a bigger Brazilian puzzle. The Chapolin Polka's Mystery. It's a partially lost and unidentified song. Only 30 seconds of it are known. The catch is that those 30 seconds were broadcast nationwide for more than 100 million people on a daily-basis for more than 30 years yet nobody claimed ownership or was able to identify the author.
It's strange how many seem to come up in Brazil. I've also heard of a child abuse PSA there which depicted a man turning into some sort of hog monster.
@@dr3dg352 Or ads were quite weird and creepy for these things like the anti drugs from the 90s and 00s were quite heavy, one had kids playing something similar as The Game of Life were the kid that became a drug-addicted life is pretty violent and terrible and ends up getting the card saying that he was killed by the police, and the other that the teen start stealing to pay for drugs his mom catch him and he ends up killing his own mother, I think this second one was made only for my school because don't remember seeing it in my house. Nowadays is just happy stuff probably because now they want to pass it in the internet and have more regulations of what you can or can't do, because had a pretty hard shift in tone after the digital age
@@georgenoodles1387 His face changed. If I remember the other lost media video correctly, there was a Brazilian PSA where a man in the city was shouting at his son, maybe also grabbing at him or something. As the scene progressed he grew tusks and maybe turned red, looking like some kind of pig creature by the end of the ad.
@@dr3dg352 There are many PSAs here in Brazil (especially local PSAs), very obscure and dark. I can list many in my memory. Some have it on TH-cam, like the PSA "excesso de velocidade" (or excess speed in english), this PSA aired on Rede Globo in the 2000s/2010s. Another PSA that I remember from memory was one about childhood blindness, which showed images of dolls and teddy bears with their eyes gouged out and sad piano music playing in the background. This last one was aired on a local television in my city (Fortaleza, in the state of Ceará) on the channel "TV Ceará". This last one is lost media
You are slowly climbing up the ranks as one of the Lost Media greats my guy. Keep it up!!! Edit: Is it possible that the "cheaply animated" cartoon at the end could be one of the dingo pictures movies? They were shown A LOT in a bunch of different countries in department stores in the early 2000's...
That FBI Warning one feels shockingly familiar, I'm 100% sure I saw that on something at some point. Couldn't tell you any more than that, though. Feels like a gag that could've been in something like a Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network show.
Regarding Blood Girl: When you showed the "closest recreation", it immediately rang a bell for me. I instantly had to think about the "Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi" show. I'm not saying that is blood girl, but assuming the recreation is accurate, its extremely similar in style, which could mean there could probably be the same people/studio behind it.
The character design looks strickingly similar to a specific character from Fudêncio rather than AmiYumi, the only thing that throws me off from being her is the whole "being sad at the end" thing
It most definitely sounds like an animated short that was probably made by a small Brazilian cartoon studio so perhaps look for indie cartoons that aired on tv in that part of the world, also it the short could have been a metaphor for either a girl being on her period or she has been well SAed.
emember was a psychedelic music video. of chickens (the thing I remember the most was an orange one), cows, flowers, children and other things the style was like a kitchen tablecloth from a grandmother's house the strangest thing was that the screen was distorted every second of what passed in a way that I didn't really care what happened I had seen it in my parents car at night when it was night sometime between 2009-2014 now I lost hope of finding it because the dvd that could have had it was thrown away and as that was extremely obscure I don't expect anyone to remember this media This message was written so that someone at least remembered this thing. I hope you answer me clearly
Here's a few mysteries of my own: There's a CGI video I watched in kindergarten, so, around 2008, of a Heart with a face and tennis shoes on, singing. All I remember is her saying was, "Heart power." There was another video I watched around that same time period in school which was about dental health. This was 2D animated. Pretty sure some of the main characters had gotten caught by the villain and put into a decayed tooth cage, which they used something to wear it down and escape from (either sugar, or dental hygiene product). I barely remember much of that one. The art style would be similar to something like 'The Adventures from the Book of Virtues' or 'The Magic School Bus.'
i remember as a kid, my dad rented me a movie from a small hometown movie store, it was VHS i believe but could have been DVD. All i remember about the case is it had super animated cartoon characters, almost Looney Toon looking expressions, but the character on the cover had some sort of Mind Control Watch in his hands dangling from a chain, like something as a kid you'd think would hypnotize someone. And his eyes were big wide open with a red and white swirl pattern I believe, like he was hypnotized himself or just hypnotizing people with his eyes. The background was dark forests, I do also think the characters could have been based off of animals, but not 100% sure. Anyways it looked innocent enough for my dad to buy it for 6-7 year old me, until we got home and loaded it up and hit play... I don't remember the intro well (unless this was the intro) but I just remember that animal from the cover, ripping up and cutting up other Characters in the show (possibly with a chainsaw?) with an extreme amount of blood and internal organs pouring out.. It was quite a traumatizing site, I just remember feeling almost ill then looking away from the screen until my dad Turned it off in anger.. ALSO to clarify, No it isn't Happy Tree Friends. This one very well could have been released in the 90's just like Happy Tree Friends, But the scenery was to dark, It feels even older and not as well animated as Happy Tree Friends (seeing their show "H.T.F" style never really changed), And the cover really had my dad and I convinced that it was just an innocent cartoon movie or show, No blood on the cover or any type of violence.. Once again, I have already looked at any Happy Tree Friends movie covers, Series covers, and even the episode that happens in Happy Tree Friends called "All in vein" which is like a Vampire thing where some of the animals are hypnotized, Which almost looked familiar at first glance, but I believe that was just because the Eyes were animated in a similar way with the Swirls, it isn't nearly as short as this episode as well. Non of the characters or scenes were similar, And the Dark scenery is similar especially at the end of that Episode, but not the exact same . I do happen to believe that it's very possible that it was a M or R-rated Cartoon just like H.T.F, and since the Cover Looked innocent enough, my Dad just didn't think of checking the Rating on it. Thought i'd say and post this here since the video reminded me of this, if anyone has any idea of what this show or movie could have been, please share! This was purchased in a Non-French Canadian Movie Store which has been closed for probably the last 10 years.
This is really fascinating, have you made any posts to the LMW forums or any relevant subreddits? I think this is something that could be found if enough people saw a post about it.
that is REALLY interesting and definetely got my attention. any chance your dad could have more info, can you still ask him about it? it makes me think this may have been part of a collection of adult cartoon shorts that had a generic "wacky" cover, and it just happened to be that the first short you've seen was that gruesome one (i know you said it was the character from the cover enacting the carnage, but hey, people can mix up memories so i figured it was worth a shot). i know quite a bit about old adult animation (rock n rule, heavy metal, felidae, fritz the cat, watership down, etc) but none of what i have watched or read up on thus far matches your description. would definitely be interested in finding out what the hell this thing you saw was.
Can't believe Blood Girl has been solved. That's what reached out to me, so I'm glad it was quickly uncovered. I don't consider myself a skeptic, and I always want to believe lost media cases are genuine, but like Go for a Punch, there's always a part of me that ponders how easy something like this would be to fabricate. Sure, aspects of lost media stories like 'blood girl' give off a "you can't make this shot up" vibe. But part of me always fears that interesting lost media cases are either fiction or just a misremembrance of something. So the case in this video getting resolves definitely 'scratches the itch'. Very satisfying outcome.
That tone of the the FBI warning is kinda familiar. It's not an educational tape, but has anyone checked Bruno the Kid tapes? I vaguely remember my mom renting a tape of it when I was a kid in the late 90s/early 00s. I remembered the show being kinda snarky much like the FBI warning. I think maybe it might be a good idea to expand beyond "educational" kid's tapes.
I remember listening to this song on yt kids (cringe) back in like 2016 that I can’t find for the life of me. Some details regarding this video/song: In the video, there was a single picture of Tails from Sonic the Hedgehog. He was in a sitting position, with his legs pointing forward, and he had a smug (or sleepy? Can’t rember🫤) smile on his face, with a heart beside his head. The title of this video (iirc) was “Tails’ Theme TSPS”. (Only thing I found along the lines of tsps were Sonic plush videos). The song itself was a relaxing techno beat that I remember fondly to this day. The song had nothing to do with Sonic and it wasn’t a remix of a past Sonic song. If you wanna cover this topic in a future video, that would be cool I guess. If anyone else has info on this vid, plz lemme know this song was my childhood-
There was a Ready Player One rant by Trap Lore Ross (when he went by Ross Hacks). It was titled Is Ready Player One Garbage? I remembered watching this particular video after I’d seen the movie and purchased the book from the high school library. The one line I remember was when he closed the video off by saying “VR has a long way to go.” Not long after the video was uploaded it disappeared sometime in the summer of that same year. By early January 2019 he later rebranded his channel deleting almost everything that was uploaded.
to think the first one was on youtube all this time, sometimes lost media really is right under our noses gives me hope i'll one day find that one mmo styled mon-like game i found on kongregate several years back
Here's something that's been bugging my memories for the past few years: I remember an old VHS that I used to watch all the time as a kid back in the 90s, but it's been so long since I've seen it that I can't remember the name of it. It was probably either a show full of puppets or CGI, and it took place in the woods. I'm pretty sure the cast was comprised of bugs that I think lived in mushroom homes. The main characters were a boy and a girl, but I can't remember what they were. Another thing I remember is that one of the major set-pieces of the show was a large log, though I can't remember how important that log was. I think there was either a butterfly or a fairy at the end of one of the episodes. I remember the show being pretty colorful, but with calm warm tones, so it wasn't an "in-your-face" type of show. While I can't remember much, I can say that it's NOT Timothy Tooth (I did have that one), NOT Bug Bites (also had that one), NOT Fraggle Rock, and NOT Miss Spider. I wish I still had my old VHS tapes, or this would've been solved years ago.
Lost media youtubers: Blood imagery and silent Hill Music while talking about an obscure nick Jr. cartoon True crime girls: bubbly public domain music and makeup tutorials while talking about how 17 children were murdered and eaten by a youth pastor
really like the idea of an alternate reality where Minecraft was a game made in the 80s/90s and there also being fictional lost media of a Minecon 1993 broadcast Also the dedicated ram kid actually looks like a actual kid from the 90s now that I've seen the edited footage
Bro these lost media videos actually creep me out so much for some reason even though they’re really not scary but they’re so interesting and intriguing that I don’t mind lol
I love these videos so so much, they’re so calming and interesting to me. I hope one day these lost media cases will be solved, even if it is unlikely.
Love these lost media videos! Your video on the most mysterious songs on the internet introduced me to what’s known in the community as “lostwave music”. I’d love to see more of those kinds of videos. There’s multiple channels that upload unidentified songs which are pretty small so I love if you can cover them.
That last one, could it be in The Pirates of Dark Water? That show's animation fits the description they gave, it was pretty dark and scary for a kids' show, and it had plenty of barren landscapes and scenes of characters running from giant monsters. It also had a whole piratical/nautical theme to it, so there could've been a character dressed like a naval officer, which could make them resemble Napoleon. The main character wears a blue vest that has gold buttons slightly off-center; maybe a kid could think that looks like Napoleon's uniform? In Episode 17, "The Game Players of Undaar", there's a scene where two characters are running from monsters in a barren forest environment, and one of them gets stuck in mud and can't get out. That character doesn't remotely look like Napoleon, but the other character running is the main character, the one that wears the blue vest.
I love your videos. I got deep into a rabbit hole watching lost media videos because I had my own lost media that was a mystery to me for 2 years, which I've recently found. :D
There are many PSAs here in Brazil (especially local PSAs), very obscure and dark. I can list many in my memory. Some have it on TH-cam, like the PSA "excesso de velocidade" (or excess speed in english), this PSA aired on Rede Globo in the 2000s/2010s. Another PSA that I remember from memory was one about childhood blindness, which showed images of dolls and teddy bears with their eyes gouged out and sad piano music playing in the background. This last one was aired on a local television in my city (Fortaleza, in the state of Ceará) on the channel "TV Ceará"
Regarding the Lord and Taylor cartoon incident, it seems much like that one part in the Ed Edd n Eddy episode "Nagged to Ed," where the Kanker sisters are chasing the three through the woods. They fall into quicksand after hopping over a log, and they can't get out. I should also mention that the quicksand looks kinda orange when they're covered in it. I'm aware the timeline doesn't match up, and that Ed Edd n Eddy is by no means cheaply animated. Though I find this an intriguing thought, and a similar sounding scene to me at least.
blood girl may have been a reference to a short on nickelodeon between commercials. i remembered something about new shoes and some girl getting them dirty. at one point she jumps in a puddle or something and it splashes the tv. maybe im misremembering. but they aired quite a few shorts for each holiday season, so this one could've been one of them.
I remember my parents watching a really obscure weird show when i was young in late 2000s. It was about a man who acted very silly. I specifically remember one being his neighbor borrowed all his can openers and hid them under his mattress. The main character would bite holes in a slice of bologna and wear it as a mask. I also remember one episode he got rid of an evil talking superhero figure by throwing it out the window. I never knew if it was a local cable tv station or not.
Ok so I have an actual lost media case here, so let me tell you. Does anyone remember the 12 minutely object show? It was a webseires based off of BFDI and TDOS. There were 8 contestants and the only confirmed footage of the show to have ever existed is the intro (which is on my channel) The show was made somewhere between January to February and the episodes were either privated or deleted in April or may. The creator has said that they won’t bring back the episodes :( so the only chances at finding it are low. There is some more info in the comments of the intro video but anyways that’s it.
12:45 Holy crap, OP here, I had no idea my yarn from so long ago got so much attention! Sorry for not popping out sooner to say hi, life's been hectic and I've been taking care of my family following the death of my grandfather. Also, on a side note, the pandemic has since brought down the aforementioned Lord and Taylor. I've taken a few moments to review my original Lost Media Wiki thread since I last posted, but none of the suggestions thus far seem to have been the one. Thanks for taking such interest with this dumb memory in the back of my mind, I'm honestly a bit floored everyone is this fascinated.
I feel like I remember seeing the weird vhs warning in scholastic tapes?? I may be misremembering but that seems really familiar and those were the ones I watched the most.
Not Lost Media, but more of a TOMT or TOMJ situation - I spent years trying to remember enough details to track down a pinball video game I used to play with my dad as a kid. I finally managed to find it by accident - I was watching some classic game reviews and recognized the soundtrack. The art was kind of generic fantasy so didn't really stand out to me, but the bonus stages were very unique, and the music, and sound effects confirmed it was the game I was looking for: Dragon's Revenge!
That game was pretty well know in the 90s if you had a Megadrive it was the western Developed sequel to the game Devils Crash or Dragons Fury Outside japan,Fury is talked about less though.
@@Acidonia150reborn No way! Over here nobody's ever heard of it! My family got it out of a bargain bin for Genesis (most Tengen games ended up in the bargain bins sooner or later). I've since gotten 'Fury on Genesis and the soundtrack is AWESOME. There are two games inspired by the Crush series on Steam now - Devil's Tilt and Xenotilt. I highly recommend them!
The mock FBI warning is actually really familiar to me somehow. My thoughts first went to the Thumb parodies made by O Entertainment, but those would be notably more recent than what's listed here, and I'm pretty sure they didn't contain this message. The connection in my brain exists though, like it came from another direct-to-home video parody style of movie.
That funny fbi warning screen seemed odd to me…it looked familiar in the sense that I could have sworn seeing something similar back in like 2003. My parents bought a vhs movie store back in 2001, Id used to get off the schoolbus at the store, and spent a majority of my youth watching these vhs. This is intriguing, maybe I’ll do some digging.
While I wasnt born until 2001, something about the warning screen reminded me of the videos you watched during school for safety PSAs or Stranger Danger but I can't pinpoint what it is. I can also assume it could be from a piracy educational tape shown to schools, which could explain the humor of the screen.
@@LocalTorchwoodIntern yeah something about it feels intentionally ironic and hits this odd memory bank i have thats slightly recognizable, slightly foreign
I'm most curious about the Lord and Taylor Cartoon. Usually when I went to Walmart as a kid (the closest my area had to a Lord and Taylor), there were TVs showing cartoons, movies and TV shows, but usually they were stuff I had already seen, but it does sound a bit familiar. My guess is that it was something that aired on Fox Kids at the time, which had a lot of strange animated shows during it's run.
That last one made me think of an animation that traumatized me when I was young in the early 90s, which I'm pretty sure was a music video but I can't remember. I just remember part of it was in a dungeon, i feel like the animation was styled in the way KMFDM artwork is styled but I might be misremembering that. There were a couple of dominatrix-style women, and a guy had a fake tounge strapped to his mouth that looked like a weird chili pepper lol I had no idea what it was, never figured out what it was from, just remember seeing it being played in a bar my dad stopped into with me to get something from a friend (thanks dad lol)
@@kyuubicurry id have to comb through the show to see if that's it, it's possible because the animation is very similar. I just specifically remember this dude with a fake tongue strapped to his face that looked like a shiny hot chilli pepper (pretty obvious what it was gonna be used for) and he had a look of fear on his face cause these women were about to fuck him up hardcore
The Lord and Taylor one made me miss the White Flint Mall. It became well known after its shutdown for that 80s mall liminal space picture. Lord and Taylor is the last thing they are bulldozing. If only I could go one last time, just ONE. But oh well.
Hey sorry for bad writing im in hurry; Kids show 1990s or 2000s or later It starts with a black man explaining what is gonna happen After he is done He tells us it is a challenge Whoever doesnt fall wins He puts kids in red/orange vests And tells them to go The show doesnt only have 1 challenge It has 10 or more(?) And its a part of my childhood There are slides Water slides Trampoline And more
It may just be Mandela effect kicking in, but I swear to fucking god, I vaguely remember watching a movie as a very small child, seeing the FBI warning at the beginning, and my older sister noticing "blah blah blah" and laughing at it. I'm a zoomer and DVDs already existed when I was born, but in my house we had a VHS player and a bunch of movies in VHS from when my older siblings were younger. VHS hasn't been a part of my life since probably 2007, but I do remember watching some stuff when I was VERY little, most of those memories are very fuzzy though, so I may just be misremembering, but man when I saw the FBI warning message, something immediately rang a bell.
I saw a segment on a G4 show as a kid around 2005 or 2006 where Kratos from God of War was appearing as a guest on a satirical version of Oprah Winfrey show. He comes out on stage and sits on the couch and Oprah asks if it’s true that he has killed every god, and he responds that there is one more god he hasn’t killed yet, and then he stabs her in the chest with a sword and she bleeds a lot. It’s completely lost media now at this point. I’ve searched everywhere all over the internet and have spoken to others who also remember it. It seems some episodes of things like X-Play were never archived
i also have a piece of lost media i remember: it was a tiny little song, the song had the letter "y" as a singer. The letter Y had a giant mouth/lips too. It sung about how Y was a vowel in the english alphabet im pretty sure. The song was like... 10 seconds at most? The Y person also danced a bit in the middle of each sentence. I barely remember anything about the song. I dont remember the name too... Im sure there was also a version with Y and other letters in a concert singing a similar song... it was slightly altered.... Once again, I dont remember much. This song was on TH-cam though, so there's that. Maaybe someone can find this for me?
im not sure if this matches up at all, but do you think it could be one of the songs from the site starfall? that was the first thing i thought of reading this
ok i checked it properly, it is the band thing i remember but there was also the shorter version which was just y on a yellow background, i think she looked more... puffy... in that one? idk
I think the last one is raggedy Ann and Andy a musical adventure. There’s a pirate that looks like Napoleon and they fall into an orange muck called the greedy.
I had a similar childhood trauma-inducing incident to the one in that last story. But it was my father who took me to some store in the 2000s, and the thing that I was stuck watching that traumatized me isn’t lost media. For me, it was _Pan’s Labyrinth._ The Pale Man scene was what really got me the worst.
There was a British TV show where contestants became sci-fi soldiers and had to battle "aliens" (guys in ski masks and motorbike leathers) with "lasers" (paintballs). The series got cancelled halfway through because of 9/11 (no, really).
I do wonder if some of these are somewhat imagined or perceived/remembered/told very differently than what the original was. I have a bit of a "personalized super mario 64" experience from a toys r us from when I was a child, and I can even still recall the memory, but the game looked very different in the memory than it looks in the game, and I know exactly the part I was seeing as a child. Although, it might help to dig more in to foreign animation, like stuff that might've played on PBS or something. Maybe dig through some soviet animation, as there was quite a bit, that may only be discoverable by searching in their original languages and on different websites than youtube.
That last story, "geriatric brain" when they were an actual child in 1994-96, lol... In all seriousness, it's actually quite possible that the cartoon that terrified OP at the time was not intended to be scary at all, but something about it was scary to them. (And if/when they find it, they'll watch it and think, "That was stupid AF, why did it scare me so much?)
During my watching of your last 1 long video. I remembered an old video that I watched as a child. I remember watching it back in the 2010’s. The clips were 3D and of a small blue child that loved to eat pure white sugar. I remember he had the power of the gods. I remember this one scene were he challenged the gods and, using his strength, defeated them with his pinky finger. I remember that he had a mother and lived in a village. He might have also had a sibling. I don’t remember a father. I remember there being multiple episodes but I don’t remember how many. I also remember a scene were he defeated a giant 3 headed snake. I have tried to find it multiple times in the past. I did find a blue god from from India but I never found anymore than that. I wanted to see if anyone remembers what I am talking about. That would be very helpful. I will make more edits of this comment if I find or learn anything else. Thank you! :)
I'm from Brazil and our Mtv (which worked from 1990 to 2013) was known for their weird sketchs with the channel logo during the commercial breaks, they were very eerie! Like, creepy, psychodelic and stuff...the former Mtv Brazil building remains closed in São Paulo and maybe, the negatives are located inside the building, unfortunately rotting...
Hey Shaii. I've watched your vids for a couple months and finally subbed, and since you said you be reading comments (and if you do manage to read this one) I'd like to suggest a personal piece of lost media that I can't find ANYWHERE on the internet: In the late 2000s when TH-cam was still new to the world, I stumbled upon various animations of Nintendo franchises, with one that I used to watch being related to Kirby, only for me to stumble upon one talking about "Kirbies". Now these weren't about the character, but about some weird rubbery life sized Bacteria with hairy particles on them called Kirbies. The animation itself was very crude and was more akin to an animatic vlog, with whoever having the voice of a bored teenage girl talking about how her school works, with one notable piece outside of the main topic being how they talked about how people at school don't drink from the fountains anymore since they found out that the pipes are connected to the nearby toilets in the restrooms. I have more information on this if you are interested to know about it, as well as a link to it on the LMK Forum if you wanna see all I wrote on it.
I doubt that this is even right, so don’t come at me, but the description the person gave on the LMW, reminds me a lot of the Greedy from this old raggedy Ann movie I used to watch as a kid. Especially with them running in the night and the gnarly visuals. I’d love to find out what the cartoon actually is when it’s found! :)
Worth noting: If the last user was young enough it doesn't even have to be something traditionally scary for them not set foot in that store for five years. As a little kid I was TERRIFIED of Gossamer from loony toons and found it to be some kind of body horror.
That last mystery actually has me wondering if it could be the very old Raggedy Ann cartoon movie? Raggedy Ann and Andy: The Musical Adventure. It's from the 70s but I grew up watching it on VHS in the 90s, and it had some VERY psychedelic and upsetting imagery and weird, unhinged animation, including a scene where they're in the woods running and end up falling into the Greedy, which is basically a pit of orange stuff.
I can't believe people lost episodes of Fudêncio. This shows how poor is the state of media preservation here in Brazil. It was a popular show yet people didn't care. The fact that MTV Brasil went bankrupt and changed 100% its programming didn't help too.
Hi! Ok so recently, I fell into a rabbit hole surrounding THE DOG artist collection. This resulted from my obsession with the game THE DOG Island, so therefore I had to get more of these funky looking poochs. I found out about this from r/lostmedia. Apparently, there was an online browser game surrounding THE DOG, THE DOG World. It was a browser game on the Scholastic site. If you were to look it up now, you will find the link but of course, the game itself has been defunct since at least the early 2010's. I can't find any gameplay on the game at all. Only small snippets on the site and the books. Basically they were small short stories of individual dogs and I think on the back, it's advertising the site. I really hoping to at least be able to see footage of this game if at all possible, and have already come to terms that it's very unlikely of it still being playable now.
Hey, I keep thinking about this book that I read when I was in 4th-6th grade(2015-2017). It was a book about this teen girl who had gotten washed out to sea during a house party in California. She, 3-4 other girls, and 1 guy have to survive off nothing, and eventually get to an island, where some of them are rescued. I remember thinking the book was old, it mentioned the first gen iphone, so published 2007-2009? Other things I remember The guy drinks salt water, goes crazy, and tries to swim to land. 2-3 of the other girls find poisonous berries on the island, eat them, and die. The book specifically mentions that the main character and one of the girls used to be friends. They described the friend as having red hair, and lots of freckles. This girl is the only one to survive, and they become friends again, now in a wheelchair for some reason, I can’t remember. I bought it at dollar tree, so I’m guessing it wasn’t very well received. Comment, and I can try to get back to you
few years ago i was downloading a bunch of TV movies posted on youtube, one of these had a FBI warning scream kinda similar to the one in the video, but the whole text was just "BLAH" i no longer have that video because i was cleaning my HDD, but i'll search for it to see if i can find it.
Hey, so I’ve been looking for a lost TV promo form KLRT, an (At the time and still is) Fox Station in Little Rock. It’s a 30-second promo likely running from 1995-96 following the “Cool Like Us” image campaign, however using visuals from 1994-95’s “Fox is Kicking It!” the audio’s online, but the video is only partially found. Have you seen this?
any idea about a stop motion kids show, watched in british columbia. felt very british though. it had some weird fellas that looked like fobbies/foppies from earthbound. (which are like kirby with no mouth nor arms, and perfectly circular eyes) which were i believe in fields, along with a fake looking train. an episode i remember had them ride that train to a new place where they just chased each other. the animation was very aardman-like. (made wallace and gromit, shaun the sheep)
So there is this kind of lost media I've done a small bit of searching, it's a 1971 short film directed by John Sharples. About the effects someone getting stabbed by a harpoon gun andon 25 March 1972 a member of the royal navy, showed them the film. and people fainted after watching it. i am kind of curious what the film was about being a science/history person.
This is a semi personal case. Former co worker mentioned a movie trailer she saw for a movie that never released as far as shes aware back around 2013/2014 A couple are driving thru a desert and it breaks down near this abandoned town. Naturally there are some hills have eyes sort of people there. Heres the twist: the couple are professional kıllers themselves and hold their own against these people. It was *NOT* Natural Born Killers, already confirmed that with her nor was it any Hills Have Eyes sort of movie, Wrong Turn or such. It also was *NOT* Breakdown Its been a while since i saw her but this has been stuck in my head for a while now and id love to have some ideas to give her if i ee her again
On the topic of “lost media”, I don’t know if this fits the criteria, but I have this memory of a game; I think it was one of those Facebook games there used to be that you could play on the browser; I don’t remember what year this was, but there was a game with this dry green and grey color scheme that had the main character, a young girl, live a life in poverty with her dog. The plots main purpose I don’t remember, but what I do remember is that all the poor people had to offer up something they owned to the king(?), and when the girl was up next, she gave away her dog to the king, who proceeded to eat the dog infront of her. After this, all I remember is that the game was like a maze, and that the main character wanted revenge. That’s all I remember.
The old movie "Heavy Metal" fits the explanation of the last segment.... except the Napoleon part. I doubt anyone would conflate anything in Heavy Metal with Napoleon Bonaparte....
What's not clear about the Warning screen is whether that's a recreation or an actual shot of the genuine screen... If the latter, does the OP just not remember which tape they grabbed it from...? It reminds me in spirit of the warning screen from the old Spinal Tap videotape. (Note: back in the day, I can't think of anyone calling it "VHS" but rather "videotape"-"VHS" seems like a thing that people who were kids during that time latched on to. I mean it's not like we were confusing it with Betamax at the time tapes were more common.)
UPDATE: Well that was quick. After several years of this being a mystery, the unidentified ‘Blood Girl’ cartoon has been solved as ‘Fome Noturna’, an episode from a series named Anabel
Link to the episode in the description :)
Where the link
nice
Crazy
it's not "fame", it's "fome". "Fome noturna" means "nightly hunger/nocturnal hunger"
Is it a Brazilian show?
Random guy: "I saw a vaguely creepy thing on TV when I was a kid"
Lost media community: "Are you by any chance from Brazil?"
And one thing I always get surprised is that almost never it comes from Locomotion ok that it was a paid channel, I don't want to remember not even half of the disturbing things I watched on that channel but if anyone likes the macabre and disturbing is a gold mine like many of its commercials there were just incredible creepy, even that most are just edgy humor like "haha piss in the homeless", but some of a dude stalking and later stabbing his neighbor for no reason or the one that the father don't want his new kid and throws the baby down the stairs but he survives but becomes wheelchair user and just ends with the kid looking sad
reddit moment
@@CoolMagmarMTV and Locomotion weren't that much different, their overall aesthetic was pretty similar, the difference was how it was portrayed, while MTV's had this early 2000's cool dude of the block atmosphere; Locomotion had this more pretentious, artsy, weird nerd from school athmosfere
Redditors: "Carbon monoxide poisoning?"
I like how you don’t use creepy music in your videos. Lost media doesn’t always have to be unsetteling.
Unlike a Day with Spongebob, now that's creepy.
He has creepy music on the very first entry...
Yeah not EVERYTHING needs it lol it makes it oversaturated
YYeah
Bro uses Silent Hill music to talk about a lost Ben 10 flash game
I could see that FBI warning coming from something like a Weird Al or Nickelodeon vhs, it feels like the type of thing they could do, and get away with, in the 80s and 90s.
I was going to say maybe one of those stupid Carrot Top videos, but I wouldn't call them "educational" by any stretch.
@SpewnyBard I was even thinking something like a Beavis and Butthead vhs tape. Definitely not from an educational tape, it's too sarcastic, but it also seems too tame for an MTV tape. I would look into comedy and parody tapes.
why not ask the FBI to get an answer?
"Potential bad luck" is honestly a better piracy deterrent than whatever legal jargon they'd usually use.
eeeeeqqqqqqqqqrrrrrrrr
Nope
@@JaKingScomezActually, yes
That "Blood Girl" animation was also shown in the Philippines at about the same year. I remember watching it in a random channel while I was eating breakfast. I am fairly certain that it was one of those Saturday cartoons since I was elementary at that time and weekends are the only time I would watch cartoons that early since I don't have class. I can vaguely remember the girl being visibly sad every time she turned water into blood. The animation wasn't creepy but has some weird vibes so I stopped watching. Maybe someone can find a lead into Philippine channels during this time.
th-cam.com/video/xTJEc_Hx0Yg/w-d-xo.html
It was said in another comment that the cartoon is confirmed to be Anabel, episode Fome Noturna
I saw that blood girl video a year ago from a show called Annabel. Which is Brazilian.
Wait, Anabel was shown in the Philippines? Never expected that for a Brazilian cartoon.
So turns out this commenter lied looooool
There were some wild “warning” screens that were created by bootleg VHS and Beta dupe houses. One of my favourite is about the rights being held by Disney, and how if they find out about the bootlegs, they’ll slap you so hard with a lawsuit that your head will spin.
I think I've found the "Blood Girl short", it's called "FOME NOTURNA" and the short is nearly the same as the description. Hope it turn out to be true!
thats gotta be it
i think this might be it
this is most likely it ill make a comment about it
Yea it seems like it’s mostly the same
Good work! id be surprised if that isn't it
BLOOD GIRL HAS BEEN SOLVED!
It was (or is most likely) Fome Noturna from Anabel!
HUGE THANKS TO EVRYONE FOR HELPING US SOLVE THIS MYSTERY!
Cool that it got found so quickly!
BRO i was hoping so badly that yall would find it!! im happy that it was finally found!! :D congrats!!
gagagageeeeeeeeeeeeee HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Reopload it on you Channel in case the video get deletd
wait that is so exciting??? IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU AHHH
About blood girl, there was this cartoon which was a collection of shorts called Anabel. It was owned by Nickelodeon Brazil ate first but soon changed to the brazilian exclusive channel TV Rá-Tim-Bum. The shorts were about this girl called Anabel who loved everything Poe and macabre and spoky stuff happened to her everyday tbh I think it could be one of those shorts
th-cam.com/video/xTJEc_Hx0Yg/w-d-xo.html
yes! im pretty sure it was ‘fome noturna’
Replying to this to hopefully help bump it up some. I don't speak the language, but I was able to find "Fome Noturna" from Anabel with a quick google search, and it had a few scenes that matched up really well with what was described, including the water tank turning to blood.
@@pan1884 th-cam.com/video/xTJEc_Hx0Yg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AnabelTV1
th-cam.com/video/xTJEc_Hx0Yg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AnabelTV1 found it
Another comment that I saw suggested for the blood girl animation, "FOME NOTURNA" and it has the exact scenes that match with the drawings.
when hearing about the orange muck cartoon, my first thought is a scene from the movie Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure. There's a scene where the main characters of the film encounter a monster called The Greedy who is made up of an orange gooey substance, and characters are tossed around on it's vast, mucky body. This scene is also notable for scaring quite a lot of children who saw it.
That's exactly what I thought
I hope someone in the forum post suggests that, cause it feels spot on
The description of the Lord and Taylor cartoon reminds me of the Raggedy Ann and Andy movie. Rough animation, pit of orange goop (the Greedy - a monster made of melted taffy), and as a kid's film from the 70s, it probably would have been cheaper to market through those stores rather than something more recent (and more expensive).
The only off detail is the Napoleon character. There's a goofy knight, a goofy king, and a goofy / creepy pirate - so OP could be remembering any of those characters... but none of them appear right before the Greedy scene. =/
Otherwise, it sounds like a strong contender for this mysterious cartoon. I wonder if it's been ruled out yet?
EDIT: checked the forums, apparently it has been ruled out. Darn it...
The FBI warning feels like part of a parody sketch and not like a quirky variation on the normal warning. In other words, I think it'll turn up in the middle of a video and not at the start of the tape. Just a hunch though.
Yeah, it would probably be at the start of the actual content of the tape, not replacing the real anti-piracy warning at the start of the tape itself
There's a couple big lost media channels on TH-cam, but this one is just SO deliberate in its presentation. The visual aesthetic and production style is iconic, and in my opinion, the best way to deliver commentary about lost media. I love this channel and its creator. As always, I'm looking forward to more.
The blood girl cartoon just unlocked so many memories for me, i'm pretty sure i watched that one as a kid
Something about the Blood Girl thing sounds like a short film.
Like the kind of thing that would be on Nicktoons Film Festival.
it's called fome noturna
I looked it up but nothing came up...
Until I added "short" as a keyword.
Thank you. You cracked it!
Looks like it! It's on youtube, but I can't post the link here. My comment was removed. Regardless, I've downloaded it
For people who doesn't know, It's from the Anabel cartoon, made in 2005. It's about a 7 year old "gaúcha" girl in the 30s (a term for people from Brazil's south and other countries like Argentina and Uruguay, derived from the horsemen; akin to cowboys)
It seems like it was from a Halloween episode and, based on the comments, it didn't air often on TV. Probably because of the blood. In the episode, she was hungry and overeats before sleeping, then when she wakes up to find her parents and everyone else in the city gone. After the blood scene and whatnot, it ends up being an nightmare. The 'teacher' from the post turned out to be her mom, and the twist at the end was a rather boring "Was it all a dream" trope. Other than that, it matches perfectly
It's not an unknown show locally, I remember watching it as a kid. It aired on Nickelodeon Brazil and other local channels, and it looks like it was also shown on America (there is dub actors only on the portuguese wikipedia page, with Kari Wahlgren and Tara Strong?). So it also corroborates with other comments that thought they saw it on Philippines, since it aired internationally
i just recently found your channel (last night actually lol) and i cant stop watching. lost media has to be one of my favorite things to watch and learn about at the moment, and you do such a great job at finding/putting as much information as you can into these videos and you keep your viewers hooked. keep up the hard work, its all gonna pay off soon!
There is a bigger Brazilian puzzle. The Chapolin Polka's Mystery. It's a partially lost and unidentified song. Only 30 seconds of it are known. The catch is that those 30 seconds were broadcast nationwide for more than 100 million people on a daily-basis for more than 30 years yet nobody claimed ownership or was able to identify the author.
It's strange how many seem to come up in Brazil. I've also heard of a child abuse PSA there which depicted a man turning into some sort of hog monster.
@@dr3dg352 Or ads were quite weird and creepy for these things like the anti drugs from the 90s and 00s were quite heavy, one had kids playing something similar as The Game of Life were the kid that became a drug-addicted life is pretty violent and terrible and ends up getting the card saying that he was killed by the police, and the other that the teen start stealing to pay for drugs his mom catch him and he ends up killing his own mother, I think this second one was made only for my school because don't remember seeing it in my house.
Nowadays is just happy stuff probably because now they want to pass it in the internet and have more regulations of what you can or can't do, because had a pretty hard shift in tone after the digital age
@@dr3dg352he did what now
@@georgenoodles1387 His face changed. If I remember the other lost media video correctly, there was a Brazilian PSA where a man in the city was shouting at his son, maybe also grabbing at him or something. As the scene progressed he grew tusks and maybe turned red, looking like some kind of pig creature by the end of the ad.
@@dr3dg352 There are many PSAs here in Brazil (especially local PSAs), very obscure and dark. I can list many in my memory. Some have it on TH-cam, like the PSA "excesso de velocidade" (or excess speed in english), this PSA aired on Rede Globo in the 2000s/2010s. Another PSA that I remember from memory was one about childhood blindness, which showed images of dolls and teddy bears with their eyes gouged out and sad piano music playing in the background. This last one was aired on a local television in my city (Fortaleza, in the state of Ceará) on the channel "TV Ceará". This last one is lost media
You are slowly climbing up the ranks as one of the Lost Media greats my guy. Keep it up!!!
Edit: Is it possible that the "cheaply animated" cartoon at the end could be one of the dingo pictures movies? They were shown A LOT in a bunch of different countries in department stores in the early 2000's...
That FBI Warning one feels shockingly familiar, I'm 100% sure I saw that on something at some point. Couldn't tell you any more than that, though. Feels like a gag that could've been in something like a Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network show.
I fucking love the theming of this channel, the weird core digital shit is great
Regarding Blood Girl: When you showed the "closest recreation", it immediately rang a bell for me. I instantly had to think about the "Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi" show. I'm not saying that is blood girl, but assuming the recreation is accurate, its extremely similar in style, which could mean there could probably be the same people/studio behind it.
It has to be it!!!!
@@hyaguzum me and collie are certain that Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi does NOT contain blood girl.
The character design looks strickingly similar to a specific character from Fudêncio rather than AmiYumi, the only thing that throws me off from being her is the whole "being sad at the end" thing
It most definitely sounds like an animated short that was probably made by a small Brazilian cartoon studio so perhaps look for indie cartoons that aired on tv in that part of the world, also it the short could have been a metaphor for either a girl being on her period or she has been well SAed.
@@milesium-487 Some users are suggesting that it could be "FOME NOTURNA"
If only these mysteries can be solved so easily, hopefully we’ll find out one day.
Agree
emember was a psychedelic music video. of chickens (the thing I remember the most was an orange one), cows, flowers, children and other things the style was like a kitchen tablecloth from a grandmother's house the strangest thing was that the screen was distorted every second of what passed in a way that I didn't really care what happened I had seen it in my parents car at night when it was night sometime between 2009-2014 now I lost hope of finding it because the dvd that could have had it was thrown away and as that was extremely obscure I don't expect anyone to remember this media This message was written so that someone at least remembered this thing. I hope you answer me clearly
@MariaFlores-KAII yeah now that it's already found, the comment was made 13 hours ago
agree
ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
Here's a few mysteries of my own:
There's a CGI video I watched in kindergarten, so, around 2008, of a Heart with a face and tennis shoes on, singing. All I remember is her saying was, "Heart power."
There was another video I watched around that same time period in school which was about dental health. This was 2D animated. Pretty sure some of the main characters had gotten caught by the villain and put into a decayed tooth cage, which they used something to wear it down and escape from (either sugar, or dental hygiene product). I barely remember much of that one. The art style would be similar to something like 'The Adventures from the Book of Virtues' or 'The Magic School Bus.'
your presentation is insanely good! love this stuff!
i remember as a kid, my dad rented me a movie from a small hometown movie store, it was VHS i believe but could have been DVD. All i remember about the case is it had super animated cartoon characters, almost Looney Toon looking expressions, but the character on the cover had some sort of Mind Control Watch in his hands dangling from a chain, like something as a kid you'd think would hypnotize someone. And his eyes were big wide open with a red and white swirl pattern I believe, like he was hypnotized himself or just hypnotizing people with his eyes. The background was dark forests, I do also think the characters could have been based off of animals, but not 100% sure. Anyways it looked innocent enough for my dad to buy it for 6-7 year old me, until we got home and loaded it up and hit play... I don't remember the intro well (unless this was the intro) but I just remember that animal from the cover, ripping up and cutting up other Characters in the show (possibly with a chainsaw?) with an extreme amount of blood and internal organs pouring out.. It was quite a traumatizing site, I just remember feeling almost ill then looking away from the screen until my dad Turned it off in anger.. ALSO to clarify, No it isn't Happy Tree Friends. This one very well could have been released in the 90's just like Happy Tree Friends, But the scenery was to dark, It feels even older and not as well animated as Happy Tree Friends (seeing their show "H.T.F" style never really changed), And the cover really had my dad and I convinced that it was just an innocent cartoon movie or show, No blood on the cover or any type of violence..
Once again, I have already looked at any Happy Tree Friends movie covers, Series covers, and even the episode that happens in Happy Tree Friends called "All in vein" which is like a Vampire thing where some of the animals are hypnotized, Which almost looked familiar at first glance, but I believe that was just because the Eyes were animated in a similar way with the Swirls, it isn't nearly as short as this episode as well. Non of the characters or scenes were similar, And the Dark scenery is similar especially at the end of that Episode, but not the exact same . I do happen to believe that it's very possible that it was a M or R-rated Cartoon just like H.T.F, and since the Cover Looked innocent enough, my Dad just didn't think of checking the Rating on it.
Thought i'd say and post this here since the video reminded me of this, if anyone has any idea of what this show or movie could have been, please share! This was purchased in a Non-French Canadian Movie Store which has been closed for probably the last 10 years.
I can’t help but replying to boost
This is really fascinating, have you made any posts to the LMW forums or any relevant subreddits? I think this is something that could be found if enough people saw a post about it.
You should def post this on a subreddit hope someone finds it!
that is REALLY interesting and definetely got my attention. any chance your dad could have more info, can you still ask him about it? it makes me think this may have been part of a collection of adult cartoon shorts that had a generic "wacky" cover, and it just happened to be that the first short you've seen was that gruesome one (i know you said it was the character from the cover enacting the carnage, but hey, people can mix up memories so i figured it was worth a shot). i know quite a bit about old adult animation (rock n rule, heavy metal, felidae, fritz the cat, watership down, etc) but none of what i have watched or read up on thus far matches your description. would definitely be interested in finding out what the hell this thing you saw was.
Can't believe Blood Girl has been solved. That's what reached out to me, so I'm glad it was quickly uncovered.
I don't consider myself a skeptic, and I always want to believe lost media cases are genuine, but like Go for a Punch, there's always a part of me that ponders how easy something like this would be to fabricate. Sure, aspects of lost media stories like 'blood girl' give off a "you can't make this shot up" vibe. But part of me always fears that interesting lost media cases are either fiction or just a misremembrance of something.
So the case in this video getting resolves definitely 'scratches the itch'. Very satisfying outcome.
That tone of the the FBI warning is kinda familiar. It's not an educational tape, but has anyone checked Bruno the Kid tapes? I vaguely remember my mom renting a tape of it when I was a kid in the late 90s/early 00s. I remembered the show being kinda snarky much like the FBI warning. I think maybe it might be a good idea to expand beyond "educational" kid's tapes.
I remember listening to this song on yt kids (cringe) back in like 2016 that I can’t find for the life of me.
Some details regarding this video/song:
In the video, there was a single picture of Tails from Sonic the Hedgehog. He was in a sitting position, with his legs pointing forward, and he had a smug (or sleepy? Can’t rember🫤) smile on his face, with a heart beside his head.
The title of this video (iirc) was “Tails’ Theme TSPS”. (Only thing I found along the lines of tsps were Sonic plush videos).
The song itself was a relaxing techno beat that I remember fondly to this day. The song had nothing to do with Sonic and it wasn’t a remix of a past Sonic song.
If you wanna cover this topic in a future video, that would be cool I guess.
If anyone else has info on this vid, plz lemme know this song was my childhood-
There was a Ready Player One rant by Trap Lore Ross (when he went by Ross Hacks). It was titled Is Ready Player One Garbage? I remembered watching this particular video after I’d seen the movie and purchased the book from the high school library. The one line I remember was when he closed the video off by saying “VR has a long way to go.” Not long after the video was uploaded it disappeared sometime in the summer of that same year. By early January 2019 he later rebranded his channel deleting almost everything that was uploaded.
to think the first one was on youtube all this time, sometimes lost media really is right under our noses
gives me hope i'll one day find that one mmo styled mon-like game i found on kongregate several years back
Here's something that's been bugging my memories for the past few years: I remember an old VHS that I used to watch all the time as a kid back in the 90s, but it's been so long since I've seen it that I can't remember the name of it. It was probably either a show full of puppets or CGI, and it took place in the woods. I'm pretty sure the cast was comprised of bugs that I think lived in mushroom homes. The main characters were a boy and a girl, but I can't remember what they were. Another thing I remember is that one of the major set-pieces of the show was a large log, though I can't remember how important that log was. I think there was either a butterfly or a fairy at the end of one of the episodes. I remember the show being pretty colorful, but with calm warm tones, so it wasn't an "in-your-face" type of show.
While I can't remember much, I can say that it's NOT Timothy Tooth (I did have that one), NOT Bug Bites (also had that one), NOT Fraggle Rock, and NOT Miss Spider. I wish I still had my old VHS tapes, or this would've been solved years ago.
sounds intersting
i doubt this is it but was it insektors?

Now THAT'S a real VHS look. Thank you for getting it!!
really like the idea of an alternate reality where Minecraft was a game made in the 80s/90s and there also being fictional lost media of a Minecon 1993 broadcast
Also the dedicated ram kid actually looks like a actual kid from the 90s now that I've seen the edited footage
Lost medias are very interesting. I enjoy watching your videos, ShaiiValley.
The intro gave me goosebumps. The obscure ones are the most interesting!
Indeed
Nothing better than stumbling upon a new channel with stories I've never heard of
Bro these lost media videos actually creep me out so much for some reason even though they’re really not scary but they’re so interesting and intriguing that I don’t mind lol
I love these videos so so much, they’re so calming and interesting to me.
I hope one day these lost media cases will be solved, even if it is unlikely.
Love these lost media videos! Your video on the most mysterious songs on the internet introduced me to what’s known in the community as “lostwave music”. I’d love to see more of those kinds of videos. There’s multiple channels that upload unidentified songs which are pretty small so I love if you can cover them.
That last one, could it be in The Pirates of Dark Water? That show's animation fits the description they gave, it was pretty dark and scary for a kids' show, and it had plenty of barren landscapes and scenes of characters running from giant monsters. It also had a whole piratical/nautical theme to it, so there could've been a character dressed like a naval officer, which could make them resemble Napoleon. The main character wears a blue vest that has gold buttons slightly off-center; maybe a kid could think that looks like Napoleon's uniform?
In Episode 17, "The Game Players of Undaar", there's a scene where two characters are running from monsters in a barren forest environment, and one of them gets stuck in mud and can't get out. That character doesn't remotely look like Napoleon, but the other character running is the main character, the one that wears the blue vest.
I love your videos. I got deep into a rabbit hole watching lost media videos because I had my own lost media that was a mystery to me for 2 years, which I've recently found. :D
There are many PSAs here in Brazil (especially local PSAs), very obscure and dark. I can list many in my memory. Some have it on TH-cam, like the PSA "excesso de velocidade" (or excess speed in english), this PSA aired on Rede Globo in the 2000s/2010s. Another PSA that I remember from memory was one about childhood blindness, which showed images of dolls and teddy bears with their eyes gouged out and sad piano music playing in the background. This last one was aired on a local television in my city (Fortaleza, in the state of Ceará) on the channel "TV Ceará"
Regarding the Lord and Taylor cartoon incident, it seems much like that one part in the Ed Edd n Eddy episode "Nagged to Ed," where the Kanker sisters are chasing the three through the woods. They fall into quicksand after hopping over a log, and they can't get out. I should also mention that the quicksand looks kinda orange when they're covered in it.
I'm aware the timeline doesn't match up, and that Ed Edd n Eddy is by no means cheaply animated. Though I find this an intriguing thought, and a similar sounding scene to me at least.
blood girl may have been a reference to a short on nickelodeon between commercials. i remembered something about new shoes and some girl getting them dirty.
at one point she jumps in a puddle or something and it splashes the tv. maybe im misremembering.
but they aired quite a few shorts for each holiday season, so this one could've been one of them.
barney and friends.
The thing about a girl getting them new shoes and dirtying them is in the new video
I remember my parents watching a really obscure weird show when i was young in late 2000s. It was about a man who acted very silly. I specifically remember one being his neighbor borrowed all his can openers and hid them under his mattress. The main character would bite holes in a slice of bologna and wear it as a mask. I also remember one episode he got rid of an evil talking superhero figure by throwing it out the window. I never knew if it was a local cable tv station or not.
was it animated? kinda sounds like league of super evil
@professionalwidow No that's the weird part. I specifically remember having real people in the show.
Sounds like Mr. Bean or something like that
@archivethearchives broooo I'm so glad somebody remembers I feel like I'm crazy
Andy Milonakis Show
Baby Corn skit??
Ok so I have an actual lost media case here, so let me tell you.
Does anyone remember the 12 minutely object show? It was a webseires based off of BFDI and TDOS.
There were 8 contestants and the only confirmed footage of the show to have ever existed is the intro (which is on my channel)
The show was made somewhere between January to February and the episodes were either privated or deleted in April or may.
The creator has said that they won’t bring back the episodes :( so the only chances at finding it are low.
There is some more info in the comments of the intro video but anyways that’s it.
youre indian
@@dddaaa6965*you're, now go.
Do you know what year it came out? And also, do you have any more details?
@@Flyn4thewin grammar nazi? Bit of a white supremacist are we?
@@the.real.mothman. 2023, 8 episodes, and also there’s an enitre comment thread pinned that has more info (on the intro vid)
12:45 Holy crap, OP here, I had no idea my yarn from so long ago got so much attention! Sorry for not popping out sooner to say hi, life's been hectic and I've been taking care of my family following the death of my grandfather. Also, on a side note, the pandemic has since brought down the aforementioned Lord and Taylor. I've taken a few moments to review my original Lost Media Wiki thread since I last posted, but none of the suggestions thus far seem to have been the one. Thanks for taking such interest with this dumb memory in the back of my mind, I'm honestly a bit floored everyone is this fascinated.
Shot in the dark: Is it Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland? Scared the shit out of me around that same time period.
@@theplaguedaemon Nah, Little Nemo kinda had me spellbound back then
I feel like I remember seeing the weird vhs warning in scholastic tapes?? I may be misremembering but that seems really familiar and those were the ones I watched the most.
Not Lost Media, but more of a TOMT or TOMJ situation - I spent years trying to remember enough details to track down a pinball video game I used to play with my dad as a kid. I finally managed to find it by accident - I was watching some classic game reviews and recognized the soundtrack. The art was kind of generic fantasy so didn't really stand out to me, but the bonus stages were very unique, and the music, and sound effects confirmed it was the game I was looking for: Dragon's Revenge!
That game was pretty well know in the 90s if you had a Megadrive it was the western Developed sequel to the game Devils Crash or Dragons Fury Outside japan,Fury is talked about less though.
@@Acidonia150reborn No way! Over here nobody's ever heard of it! My family got it out of a bargain bin for Genesis (most Tengen games ended up in the bargain bins sooner or later).
I've since gotten 'Fury on Genesis and the soundtrack is AWESOME.
There are two games inspired by the Crush series on Steam now - Devil's Tilt and Xenotilt. I highly recommend them!
ahh im so sad the "blood girl" wasn't the show i was looking for and thought maybe it was 😭😭😭😭 i was so excited for a second maybe i'd found it
The mock FBI warning is actually really familiar to me somehow. My thoughts first went to the Thumb parodies made by O Entertainment, but those would be notably more recent than what's listed here, and I'm pretty sure they didn't contain this message. The connection in my brain exists though, like it came from another direct-to-home video parody style of movie.
That funny fbi warning screen seemed odd to me…it looked familiar in the sense that I could have sworn seeing something similar back in like 2003. My parents bought a vhs movie store back in 2001, Id used to get off the schoolbus at the store, and spent a majority of my youth watching these vhs. This is intriguing, maybe I’ll do some digging.
While I wasnt born until 2001, something about the warning screen reminded me of the videos you watched during school for safety PSAs or Stranger Danger but I can't pinpoint what it is. I can also assume it could be from a piracy educational tape shown to schools, which could explain the humor of the screen.
@@LocalTorchwoodIntern yeah something about it feels intentionally ironic and hits this odd memory bank i have thats slightly recognizable, slightly foreign
@@johnacker4959 Same here and I don't really remember VHS tapes being shown to me in school growing up as we had DVD players on some of the TVs.
It feels like something I saw from the early internet
I'm most curious about the Lord and Taylor Cartoon. Usually when I went to Walmart as a kid (the closest my area had to a Lord and Taylor), there were TVs showing cartoons, movies and TV shows, but usually they were stuff I had already seen, but it does sound a bit familiar. My guess is that it was something that aired on Fox Kids at the time, which had a lot of strange animated shows during it's run.
Hi just found your channel and I can't get enough 😊👍 really appreciate the hard work you put in your videos.
That last one made me think of an animation that traumatized me when I was young in the early 90s, which I'm pretty sure was a music video but I can't remember.
I just remember part of it was in a dungeon, i feel like the animation was styled in the way KMFDM artwork is styled but I might be misremembering that. There were a couple of dominatrix-style women, and a guy had a fake tounge strapped to his mouth that looked like a weird chili pepper lol
I had no idea what it was, never figured out what it was from, just remember seeing it being played in a bar my dad stopped into with me to get something from a friend (thanks dad lol)
Aeon Flux?
@@kyuubicurry id have to comb through the show to see if that's it, it's possible because the animation is very similar. I just specifically remember this dude with a fake tongue strapped to his face that looked like a shiny hot chilli pepper (pretty obvious what it was gonna be used for) and he had a look of fear on his face cause these women were about to fuck him up hardcore
Sounds like Aeon Flux.
The Lord and Taylor one made me miss the White Flint Mall. It became well known after its shutdown for that 80s mall liminal space picture. Lord and Taylor is the last thing they are bulldozing. If only I could go one last time, just ONE. But oh well.
Hey sorry for bad writing im in hurry;
Kids show 1990s or 2000s or later
It starts with a black man explaining what is gonna happen
After he is done
He tells us it is a challenge
Whoever doesnt fall wins
He puts kids in red/orange vests
And tells them to go
The show doesnt only have 1 challenge
It has 10 or more(?)
And its a part of my childhood
There are slides
Water slides
Trampoline
And more
Dang Seeing the show Growing up creepie unlocked memories of me watching it. What channel did it air on the US?
Pretty sure it was Discovery Kids!
It may just be Mandela effect kicking in, but I swear to fucking god, I vaguely remember watching a movie as a very small child, seeing the FBI warning at the beginning, and my older sister noticing "blah blah blah" and laughing at it. I'm a zoomer and DVDs already existed when I was born, but in my house we had a VHS player and a bunch of movies in VHS from when my older siblings were younger. VHS hasn't been a part of my life since probably 2007, but I do remember watching some stuff when I was VERY little, most of those memories are very fuzzy though, so I may just be misremembering, but man when I saw the FBI warning message, something immediately rang a bell.
Always love when another episode comes out!
I dont love.
I just like 😊
Same
Thank you for using an actual VHS & not a fake VHS filter like a lot of creepypasta games do. The fake filters look so inauthentic.
I saw a segment on a G4 show as a kid around 2005 or 2006 where Kratos from God of War was appearing as a guest on a satirical version of Oprah Winfrey show. He comes out on stage and sits on the couch and Oprah asks if it’s true that he has killed every god, and he responds that there is one more god he hasn’t killed yet, and then he stabs her in the chest with a sword and she bleeds a lot. It’s completely lost media now at this point. I’ve searched everywhere all over the internet and have spoken to others who also remember it. It seems some episodes of things like X-Play were never archived
i also have a piece of lost media i remember:
it was a tiny little song, the song had the letter "y" as a singer. The letter Y had a giant mouth/lips too. It sung about how Y was a vowel in the english alphabet im pretty sure. The song was like... 10 seconds at most? The Y person also danced a bit in the middle of each sentence. I barely remember anything about the song. I dont remember the name too... Im sure there was also a version with Y and other letters in a concert singing a similar song... it was slightly altered.... Once again, I dont remember much. This song was on TH-cam though, so there's that. Maaybe someone can find this for me?
im not sure if this matches up at all, but do you think it could be one of the songs from the site starfall? that was the first thing i thought of reading this
i remember seeing something similar on PBS kids. it was Hey There Delilah but the letter "t" was singing about himself
im glad i could help! @@burghe.
@@vulture_k1ttyThat was a Sesame Street skit
ok i checked it properly, it is the band thing i remember but there was also the shorter version which was just y on a yellow background, i think she looked more... puffy... in that one? idk
Good news!
The full 30 sec hate hurts you has finally been found!
I think the last one is raggedy Ann and Andy a musical adventure. There’s a pirate that looks like Napoleon and they fall into an orange muck called the greedy.
Unfortunately that ones been ruled out : (
I had a similar childhood trauma-inducing incident to the one in that last story. But it was my father who took me to some store in the 2000s, and the thing that I was stuck watching that traumatized me isn’t lost media. For me, it was _Pan’s Labyrinth._ The Pale Man scene was what really got me the worst.
My bet is that the fbi warning is from a old skate boarding video could be wrong but it gives me those additude vibes
There was a British TV show where contestants became sci-fi soldiers and had to battle "aliens" (guys in ski masks and motorbike leathers) with "lasers" (paintballs). The series got cancelled halfway through because of 9/11 (no, really).
I do wonder if some of these are somewhat imagined or perceived/remembered/told very differently than what the original was. I have a bit of a "personalized super mario 64" experience from a toys r us from when I was a child, and I can even still recall the memory, but the game looked very different in the memory than it looks in the game, and I know exactly the part I was seeing as a child.
Although, it might help to dig more in to foreign animation, like stuff that might've played on PBS or something. Maybe dig through some soviet animation, as there was quite a bit, that may only be discoverable by searching in their original languages and on different websites than youtube.
That last story, "geriatric brain" when they were an actual child in 1994-96, lol...
In all seriousness, it's actually quite possible that the cartoon that terrified OP at the time was not intended to be scary at all, but something about it was scary to them. (And if/when they find it, they'll watch it and think, "That was stupid AF, why did it scare me so much?)
During my watching of your last 1 long video. I remembered an old video that I watched as a child. I remember watching it back in the 2010’s.
The clips were 3D and of a small blue child that loved to eat pure white sugar. I remember he had the power of the gods. I remember this one scene were he challenged the gods and, using his strength, defeated them with his pinky finger. I remember that he had a mother and lived in a village. He might have also had a sibling. I don’t remember a father. I remember there being multiple episodes but I don’t remember how many.
I also remember a scene were he defeated a giant 3 headed snake.
I have tried to find it multiple times in the past. I did find a blue god from from India but I never found anymore than that.
I wanted to see if anyone remembers what I am talking about. That would be very helpful. I will make more edits of this comment if I find or learn anything else. Thank you! :)
your workrate is insane lmao
I'm from Brazil and our Mtv (which worked from 1990 to 2013) was known for their weird sketchs with the channel logo during the commercial breaks, they were very eerie! Like, creepy, psychodelic and stuff...the former Mtv Brazil building remains closed in São Paulo and maybe, the negatives are located inside the building, unfortunately rotting...
Hey Shaii. I've watched your vids for a couple months and finally subbed, and since you said you be reading comments (and if you do manage to read this one) I'd like to suggest a personal piece of lost media that I can't find ANYWHERE on the internet:
In the late 2000s when TH-cam was still new to the world, I stumbled upon various animations of Nintendo franchises, with one that I used to watch being related to Kirby, only for me to stumble upon one talking about "Kirbies". Now these weren't about the character, but about some weird rubbery life sized Bacteria with hairy particles on them called Kirbies.
The animation itself was very crude and was more akin to an animatic vlog, with whoever having the voice of a bored teenage girl talking about how her school works, with one notable piece outside of the main topic being how they talked about how people at school don't drink from the fountains anymore since they found out that the pipes are connected to the nearby toilets in the restrooms. I have more information on this if you are interested to know about it, as well as a link to it on the LMK Forum if you wanna see all I wrote on it.
Could the last one be the episode of Scooby Doo called "Napoleon Lives?"
I doubt that this is even right, so don’t come at me, but the description the person gave on the LMW, reminds me a lot of the Greedy from this old raggedy Ann movie I used to watch as a kid. Especially with them running in the night and the gnarly visuals. I’d love to find out what the cartoon actually is when it’s found! :)
The Greedy is the first thing that came to my mind too.
Worth noting: If the last user was young enough it doesn't even have to be something traditionally scary for them not set foot in that store for five years. As a little kid I was TERRIFIED of Gossamer from loony toons and found it to be some kind of body horror.
That last mystery actually has me wondering if it could be the very old Raggedy Ann cartoon movie? Raggedy Ann and Andy: The Musical Adventure. It's from the 70s but I grew up watching it on VHS in the 90s, and it had some VERY psychedelic and upsetting imagery and weird, unhinged animation, including a scene where they're in the woods running and end up falling into the Greedy, which is basically a pit of orange stuff.
the blood girl description sounds like a messed up menstrual commercial
14:08 Regarding the Napoleon Bonaparte lost media, there is nothing we can do
I can't believe people lost episodes of Fudêncio. This shows how poor is the state of media preservation here in Brazil. It was a popular show yet people didn't care. The fact that MTV Brasil went bankrupt and changed 100% its programming didn't help too.
I dont think its a Brazil issue considering how there are also lost media from spongebob and other popular international cartoons
2:33 WHY DID YOU HAVE TO ADD THE EYES ON THE LEFT SIDE BRUH, I JUST WANNA GO TO SLEEP 😭
That recreation of the Blood Girl goes hard as hell.
Hi! Ok so recently, I fell into a rabbit hole surrounding THE DOG artist collection. This resulted from my obsession with the game THE DOG Island, so therefore I had to get more of these funky looking poochs. I found out about this from r/lostmedia. Apparently, there was an online browser game surrounding THE DOG, THE DOG World. It was a browser game on the Scholastic site. If you were to look it up now, you will find the link but of course, the game itself has been defunct since at least the early 2010's. I can't find any gameplay on the game at all. Only small snippets on the site and the books. Basically they were small short stories of individual dogs and I think on the back, it's advertising the site. I really hoping to at least be able to see footage of this game if at all possible, and have already come to terms that it's very unlikely of it still being playable now.
Hey, I keep thinking about this book that I read when I was in 4th-6th grade(2015-2017). It was a book about this teen girl who had gotten washed out to sea during a house party in California. She, 3-4 other girls, and 1 guy have to survive off nothing, and eventually get to an island, where some of them are rescued. I remember thinking the book was old, it mentioned the first gen iphone, so published 2007-2009?
Other things I remember
The guy drinks salt water, goes crazy, and tries to swim to land.
2-3 of the other girls find poisonous berries on the island, eat them, and die.
The book specifically mentions that the main character and one of the girls used to be friends. They described the friend as having red hair, and lots of freckles. This girl is the only one to survive, and they become friends again, now in a wheelchair for some reason, I can’t remember.
I bought it at dollar tree, so I’m guessing it wasn’t very well received.
Comment, and I can try to get back to you
few years ago i was downloading a bunch of TV movies posted on youtube, one of these had a FBI warning scream kinda similar to the one in the video, but the whole text was just "BLAH" i no longer have that video because i was cleaning my HDD, but i'll search for it to see if i can find it.
Hey, so I’ve been looking for a lost TV promo form KLRT, an (At the time and still is) Fox Station in Little Rock. It’s a 30-second promo likely running from 1995-96 following the “Cool Like Us” image campaign, however using visuals from 1994-95’s “Fox is Kicking It!” the audio’s online, but the video is only partially found. Have you seen this?
If anyone does ever find out about blood girl’s origin I’d love to know! I love stuff like this
episode fome noturna of anabel, a brazilian cartoon
any idea about a stop motion kids show, watched in british columbia. felt very british though.
it had some weird fellas that looked like fobbies/foppies from earthbound. (which are like kirby with no mouth nor arms, and perfectly circular eyes) which were i believe in fields, along with a fake looking train.
an episode i remember had them ride that train to a new place where they just chased each other. the animation was very aardman-like. (made wallace and gromit, shaun the sheep)
So there is this kind of lost media I've done a small bit of searching, it's a 1971 short film directed by John Sharples. About the effects someone getting stabbed by a harpoon gun andon 25 March 1972 a member of the royal navy, showed them the film. and people fainted after watching it. i am kind of curious what the film was about being a science/history person.
This is a semi personal case. Former co worker mentioned a movie trailer she saw for a movie that never released as far as shes aware back around 2013/2014
A couple are driving thru a desert and it breaks down near this abandoned town. Naturally there are some hills have eyes sort of people there. Heres the twist: the couple are professional kıllers themselves and hold their own against these people. It was *NOT* Natural Born Killers, already confirmed that with her nor was it any Hills Have Eyes sort of movie, Wrong Turn or such. It also was *NOT* Breakdown
Its been a while since i saw her but this has been stuck in my head for a while now and id love to have some ideas to give her if i ee her again
On the topic of “lost media”, I don’t know if this fits the criteria, but I have this memory of a game; I think it was one of those Facebook games there used to be that you could play on the browser; I don’t remember what year this was, but there was a game with this dry green and grey color scheme that had the main character, a young girl, live a life in poverty with her dog.
The plots main purpose I don’t remember, but what I do remember is that all the poor people had to offer up something they owned to the king(?), and when the girl was up next, she gave away her dog to the king, who proceeded to eat the dog infront of her.
After this, all I remember is that the game was like a maze, and that the main character wanted revenge. That’s all I remember.
The last ones reminds me of the legend of sleepy hollow disney cartoon!
The old movie "Heavy Metal" fits the explanation of the last segment.... except the Napoleon part. I doubt anyone would conflate anything in Heavy Metal with Napoleon Bonaparte....
The Lord and Taylor cartoon might be a Courage the Cowardly Dog episode called 'king of flan'
15:35 Hey that's me!
What's not clear about the Warning screen is whether that's a recreation or an actual shot of the genuine screen... If the latter, does the OP just not remember which tape they grabbed it from...? It reminds me in spirit of the warning screen from the old Spinal Tap videotape.
(Note: back in the day, I can't think of anyone calling it "VHS" but rather "videotape"-"VHS" seems like a thing that people who were kids during that time latched on to. I mean it's not like we were confusing it with Betamax at the time tapes were more common.)
