The wiki has always disregarded anything that doesn't interest them. When they completely ignored the guy who compiled all those lost war movie dubs i lost a lot of respect. While they will list every lost anime dub they hear about. Was pretty funny when they put me on the front page because they dont do proper research😂having collected lost media since the 90's, i really want to like the wiki, but they make it difficult unless you just accept their nonsense.
This. I used to be an active user in their Discord and if it didn’t pertain to cartoons/nostalgic media, no one wanted anything to do with it. So many missed opportunities to find really interesting stuff. I remember one person in particular on the hunt for lost footage of a now extinct animal (don’t remember the exact one) and no one even acknowledged it.
Seriously, I tried posting an article about lost Zyu2 Power Rangers footage (complete with links from a reputable source with first-hand knowledge), and it ended up deleted a day later. They're even more bonkers than the people running TV Tropes!
Not a lot of work on female focused media too. It's definitely fun, but there's no articles on like, Barbie Sleeping Beauty that I could find or doll lines that didnt come out.
I find lost media really interesting but the topic has gotten really stale for me over time so much interesting historic stuff could have people searching for it and finding it but most people who are into lost media only seem to be interested in finding commercials from 2002 that aired at like 2am that like one person recalls seeing when they were 5 it's cool seeing stuff like that archived but I'd rather see historic movies or footage be found rather than lost commercials where the Wiggles are promoting Yogurt
One interesting Lost Media from Mexico is the lost episode of "The Rose of Guadalupe" called "Goodbye innocence" that were aired back in 2013 just one time but it was banned from all Television, now we only can see the description of the episode on the official page and few scences has been uploaded on TH-cam, but not the completed episode
Also most of "mujer casos de la vida real" is partially lost as the comunnity hasn't found a way to properly archive the series aside from TH-cam who keeps taking the videos down
I feel like your channel, BlameItOnJorge’s and Rebeltaxi’s have been kind of these cornerstones of the Lost Media community over the years in a way, really thankful for such great content showing this side of media that seems like the world kind of never knew about until only recently; this was a great trip down memory lane back to 2015, thanks, keep up the great work, you’ve really come a long way dude :)
@@PapaJohnsPie starting point of Dexter's Rude Removal, Aqua Teen Boston leak, one of the first larger A Day With Spongebob videos, and there are some more cases he has been involved in; plus I think his video was one of the earliest to blow up in the Lost Media movement online "10 Lost Unfinished Cartoons", 2015, and of course BlameItOnJorge's "Top 40 Lost or Banned Episodes of Kids Shows", from 2015, I feel like those 2 videos kind of were like opening the floodgates for it to gain traction, those were really the first times I had ever heard of the concept of lost media. (I don't know that might be a biased take, the website really started early 2013)
The Library of Alexandria, I believe would be the oldest piece of documented lost media. However there are obviously more media dating back way before that weren’t documented and have been lost to time.
Actually, and somewhat surprisingly, not really? Contrary to the popular perception, there are no works whose loss can be specifically attributed to the destruction of the Library of Alexandria, because there actually weren't any original works held there. Everything it held was also held in other contemporary libraries. Basically, it wasn't a lending library like we usually think of libraries, but rather an archival library like the Library of Congress; it specifically only held _copies_ of works. Other libraries would send them books that they didn't have a copy of yet, their scribes would make a copy of it for the archives, and then the originals were sent back to the libraries that held them. In a really technical sense, you could maybe say that their indices would be considered lost media, the books they had that were just a list of everything they held, but that would be like considering a destroyed card catalog lost media.
@@Idran Apparently they did have tax records and some poetry and literature that was created in the local area, but all the important stuff they had was also copied elsewhere, it's not like there were whole extra volumes of Plato and Aristotle in that one place alone. Though tax records and locally-created poetry and literature from one place and time would arguably be more important to historians than big, "general" works of philosophy. You could track economic boom and bust and see the concerns and issues facing the "everyday" (well, literate middle-upper class) people.
Another ancient lost media are the mayan, mixtec and aztec books (or codex). These civilizations had actually libraries with hundreds of them, but spanish burnt all of them because it was considered a source of pagan knowledge. Only 16 codex of all precolumbian mesoamerica survived, found in weird locations far away of central america, most of them for some reason ended in forgotten sections of european libraries before being founded again. Who knows if there are more waiting in the dark between books of europe.
Ringu is a huge j-horror classic and I think you might get a lot out of watching it. It's the film that inspired the popular American horror movie "The Ring," and is much more well executed, if you ask me. That lost media case sounds really interesting, and I hope more evidence comes out.
I'm still confused on if it exists or not, I doubt Nakata would lie about there being a scarier version of Ringu because wouldn't a scarier version sell even better? I'm just glad we got Ringu in the first place.
Never seen Ringu, but from the Wikipedia synopses, I always thought it sounded way better than The Ring remake. Like they do more with the Sadako character than the US version takes advantage of.
Yeah, I was really confused when he said never heard of it before. I thought by now, anyone who has heard of The Ring knows of Ringu, since The Ring is basically the American reimagining of it. The Grudge is the exact same way, as it is just the American reimagining of Ju-On, another Japanese horror classic.
An idea for a video: Do another Twitter questionnaire on what everyone's most wanted lost media is, but asking them to exclude beta or unreleased games. Don't get me wrong the first video you did of that is actually my favorite by you hence why I want a sequel, but it'd be interesting to see it again and get a consensus on the realm outside of video games. Edit: Bro how have you never heard of Ringu before? The Ring. Ring any bells lol?
Who would've thought that the very first lost media article on the Lost Media Wiki was a Mickey Mouse Vietnam cartoon? XD It is amazing to see just how far we've gone into the LMW over the years! And I hope we can continue to find more lost content both the past, and present! :) Even more interesting is that it used to be a Wikia page that the majority of the original page can still be found! Also, congratulations on reaching 14 years on your TH-cam channel, LSSQ! :D It's amazing how we've gone from making clay sculptures to searching for lost content for all kinds of things! Here's to many more years of searching!
In regard to the Paley Center in California; it no longer physically exists. Took a trip to the address they list in LA, and theres a toy museum where it once stood. I believe the New York one is the only physical place you can visit now :(
Whoa that's surprising to hear, especially since I feel like every other article on the Wiki mentions it. Guess we really are in the age of digitalization
"It has a dedicated user base" Sadako takes over T2 at every HHN at Universal Studios Japan. She also was a youtuber to promote her newest movie (I had to stop watching when they stopped doing English subs, but it was SO CUTE to see Sadako do Influencer and TH-camr stuff. )
@madamminalost To be honest, I had never heard of the film until two years ago and only one or two friends I've ever brought it up to have heard of it.
@SiDoesMinecraft I'd like to know more! The dolls came out, but no attached movie. How far did it go? I JUST found out about a Precure Dub attempt besides Glitter Force and WBkids (I think it was Yes Pretty Cure 5?) I've never heard of lost media hunts for like RomComs or soap operas and just by nature of the medium... we have to have deleted scenes for like Romancing the Stone or General Hospital. Etc
This just made me realize how long I've been into lost media now. I remember watching blameitonjorge's first crop of videos as they came out in 2015 and thinking the concept of lost media was the coolest thing I'd ever heard. I probably started watching you in 2017 or 2018. The old theme music at the end made me nostalgic!
Happy 14th anniversary to your channel and TH-cam career! It's incredible how time flies. This is a legitimate trip down memory lane. I discovered the wiki when they were still in Wikia!
Same, when I was checking out the articles I couldn't believe how old some of the topics actually were. And the fact that a lot of that old content is still missing more than 10 years later!
I remember when I first started watching your content in 2017. You've come a long way man. Can't wait to see how much you continue to grow! Loving the content as always. You and Jorge honestly carry lost media on TH-cam.
As someone who was in the community/wiki since 2013 and contributed quite a few admittedly very poorly written early articles (1953 Sad Story of Henry, Down the Mine Pilot, TMNT Forever War, Creation 1931, Sonic Endangered Species, Frankenstein Test Footage, Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman Audio, for example), it’s been quite a ride. I don’t keep up with the wiki much anymore, but I’m glad to see the hunt for lost media is still going strong, even if i have some issues with it
I kinda crashed for a second when you were saying you had no idea what Ringu was and I was like "oh come on, the ring was the most popular horror movie for like a year!" and then I remember that happened like 20 years ago and then I got depressed
@@mateobonavento3939 It's still pretty common, LSSQ is just kind of... not the kind of person who would put himself in the situation to have heard of it, we'll say.
As mentioned on another comment, there probably wasn't anything mega-important there that wasn't also elsewhere. Also it didn't entirely burn down in one giant fire, there were several smaller fires over time (oil lanterns and springy rolls of thick paper all stacked up, amirite?), it also declined as the fortunes of Greece declined next to Rome, and also a lot of scrolls were stolen or removed.
Ah, I thought this video was going to be more about historical lost media. But it's still interesting to see what the more popular topics were at the time the wiki was created.
To me personally, my oldest run in to lost media is the lost Doctor Who episodes. As a young kid you ask for very basic questions like "can I watch the 2nd Doctor" only to learn that like over half of that era's work is just GONE.
I remember watching attack of the vulture on an old site with that streamed 90s nick shows and shorts. At the time I didn’t even know it was lost media.
I first learned of lost media because I has always remembered seeing Attack of the Giant Vulture and finding it disturbing. Later on when I tried to find the short I learned that it was actually completely missing and that a community of people was also actively looking for it.
I would like to see a video on Actual Old prices of Lost Media London After Midnight Humor Risk etc those sort of lost films. Some one hunt those down or tell me there stories.
I also wonder about lost works of literature, theater etc. that were lost or even banned. Supposedly Shakespeare wrote a sequel to Love's Labor Lost that, ironically, is lost. Lots of Greek plays too are lost. I wonder what the oldest lost work that we know the name of is.
I’m sure not very many have heard of this, but I think it’s important to at least document it’s existence. Sometime between 2011 and 2013, American rock back My Chemical Romance was writing and recording music for their next album, only referred to once as “MCR5” in an interview Gerard (the singer) did sometime around mid to late 2012. Rumors from those who have allegedly heard the album, most notably including Grant Morrison, claim that the album is dark and heavy, darker than anything they had previously made. Some say that it was only demos, whereas others claim that anywhere between 3 and 27 songs were completed and recorded. Sadly, on March 22nd, 2013, My Chemical Romance broke up before the album was publicly announced. About a year later, they did release a collection of EPs, titled “Conventional Weapons”, which were the predecessors of the songs that ultimately became “Danger Days”, their last and final album. As the years passed, MCR5 became both a legend and a meme within the fanbase, earning the title of “what could have been” if the band had never broken up. Sometime during 2015, Gerard was a guest on a podcast, where he was asked about MCR5, and finally revealed the album’s official title, but it’s subject matter as well. The album is titled “The Paper Kingdom”, and is about grieving parents creating a story together in group therapy about their children, who all died in horrible ways. The story follows these children as they fight against an evil witch inside a forest. Gerard said that they planned out entire stage productions for the album, including costumes and props, akin to that of a musical. Ultimately, the band deemed the subject matter too dark and disturbing to release, becoming almost a sensitive topic to discuss. Fans have respected the decision to keep the album shelved, although some stay hopeful that some or all of it will be released. During early October of last year, someone with the title “Excalibur” leaked some few-second-long, watermarked clips from three of the tracks off of “The Paper Kingdom” on a site called “OnlyFiles”, where they asked for 10,000 USD in exchange of releasing the album in its entirety. A Twitter user got wind of this from the r/MyChemicalRomance subreddit, and shared the snippets. Fans debated whether the songs were real, as the singer not only sounds incredibly similar to Gerard, but the instrumentals are also similar to the iconic MCR sound. For a few days, the Twitter thread stayed up and gained a ton of recognition, alongside some discourse. Fans reiterated the band’s decision to keep the album private, and heavily discouraged people not to give the leaker any money of any kind, as he was not affiliated with the band or Warner. Soon after that, the band must have somehow gotten word of the leaks (I think “The Paper Kingdom” was trending at some point? can’t remember), and the fan that had reposted the clips was emailed by Twitter to immediately remove the media from their account, or face a DMCA copyright strike. Of course, the fan took the clips down, but this ultimately proved that the snippets were real, genuine, copyrighted clips of music from “The Paper Kingdom” rather than faked for clout and/or money. So far, those are the only remains we have of the album, as the album in-full is probably on a hard drive locked away somewhere in a Warner vault, rather than documented on a server where the system could be hacked and all the private, hidden songs could be released to the public. Sources: I’ve been a fan for just over 4 years and have not only rewatched tons and tons of interviews, but also witnessed the leaks make the rounds on Twitter in real time; I think I was one of the first retweets on the initial repost, now that I come to think of it.

I'm 20 and attack of the giant vultures is absolutely terrifying. what an idea they sure had back then to make that short also I did not expect that nostalgic older version of your outro at the end, that was a pleasant surprise
@@ArthurTRead I don't really get scared of stuff like that. I didn't watch Nickelodeon as a kid and Attack of the Giant Vulture is older than me, but I clearly recall not being scared of stuff that scared many other kids (such as the Heffalumps and Woozles song from Winnie the Pooh and Arty Smartypants from Between the Lions).
I don't have that much time following Lost Media but I love it and this was really interesting, I would've never thought of looking up what are the oldest pieces of Lost Media out there.
Hearing that Rude Removal is lost media boggles my mind, doubly so that it never aired--I distinctly remember watching that episode as a kid, on Cartoon Network.
I have a possible piece of lost media. It was a hot wheels game that you could play on your phone, i don’t know about other platforms than mobile. It was a 2d like racing game that was like those old car parking games you would play on the web when you were a kid or something, with the iconic top down camera view but instead of parking cars, you are racing hot wheel cars. The control scheme was some sort of wheel on the left side of the screen, and then the pedals (either had both brake and gas or just gas my memory is fuzzy). It was quite old, roughly from 2013-2014 or something. You collected hot wheel cars by completing levels i think. I think there were boosters on certain tracks that made your car go faster, and there may or may not have been power-ups to screw over your opponent’s. I think i played it on an iphone 5 when i was little. I downloaded on the app store so it clearly was not some web browser game (or maybe it was, web browser games can become apps you can get on phones). I forgot the name of the game, it was like hot wheels racing among those lines or something different than that.
I remember searching this topic during college between 2007 & 2010/11. It crazy to think how far its came since those days on the internet. Found a few goodies that I wonder if I still have on any old HD’s somewhere in storage. 🤔 🤔 🤔. Also have hundreds of Off Air Recordings on unfinished DVD+R’s from the mid 2000’s through 2016 or so.
As soon as I saw the thumbnail, I instantly thought it'd belong to those shady paper animations you'd see on Nick Jr. or something. I kept remembering there was one with lines going down as if a ceiling was collapsing... Or...I can think of that THIRTEEN Please Stand By segment from the 90s, the one that had an eerie tune in A. Or...there was that random segment that played Lightning Strikes by Lou Christie and had a green background with a trippy guitar pic of sorts... Maybe you can find these..?
I'm not sure if it's technically considered lost media given that the footage was never publicly released but someone sent me the original professional recording of Toy Story on Ice!
One piece of lost media that WAS on youtube for YEARS, was Jason Hawes from Ghost Hunters arguing with a staffer in the street, then PUNCHING the cameraman down to the ground. Scrubbed from the internet, around the time they decided to (ugh) bring the show back.
If you ever make another video about lost music or something like a fan submission video, you should include this song called Interface. It's a Vocaloid song made and deleted in 2011 and it also has it's own page on the wiki. It would be great if you could include this song in a future video since it could make this topic more well known but it's totally fine if you don't want to cover this topic. The person who made it, Masa, also has more lost media involving him but Interface is more famous than other the cases. The language barrier may make researching it a little difficult though.
I hate how the lost media wiki is mostly focused on stuff from the 90s onwards, and mainly cartoons and kids shows, there's so many other interesting cases of lost media out there that people don't talk about enough
And most of it isn't even really "lost" media to begin with. The wiki treats anything that isn't readily avaiable to the public as 'lost' even though they're preserved in production companies' archives (as in the case of every single thing listed in this video). Something is truly lost if no copy of it is known to exist.
@@samp.8099 lost media fans talking about the thousands of hours of historically and culturally significant silent movies and early television that were literally destroyed to save space vs lost media fans talking about the never re-aired pilot of some kids show from like 2004 that nobody actually likes
@@ineedausername124 Well, finding silent movies requires leaving the house, be knowledgeable about the subject matter at hand and have plenty of monetary resources and connections, as opposed to just browsing Reddit or TH-cam and sending E-mails to people, which is what most internet lost media "searches" amount to.

Something I haven’t been able to find was a strange animation (maybe 2d stop motion) Caperucita Roja (Little Red Riding Hood). We watched it in 6th grade Spanish class in 87. I knew it was old then. My guess is it was animated in the 60s-70s. I was enthralled by it and would love to find it.
It’s odd that the Brussels cut would exist due to Europe usually toning down graphic imagery in horror. However many films have missing content. From deleted footage to footage shot for TV releases. I want to see missing shots from National Lampoons Christmas Vacation with scenes that would only ever air on TV in the 90’s.
Hey, LSuperSonicQ, love the videos! I have been trying to come across and show I remember watching, only once I have seen it. It was in a shed like environment, with pictures of the hosts family members, the host of the show, (can’t remember if male or female) would talk about random Hollywood things from around that time. (2013-14) I remember it airing on the BET or bravo! Networks.
So surprised no one is looking for the ghost of toys r us footage !!! It was played in the bay area for two weeks . News stations showed footage of barbies floating off the shels in their boxes. I remember seeing it . I was a kid and went there all the time .... its completely lost and it would be hard to fake before the web was even alive back then. So strange ....
Why is the Christine Chubbock video any more or less controversial than the recording of people being mauled by bears, or any number of recorded deaths? Also, she intentionally did it on TV, so if anything, wanted people to see it. Folks logic is weird.
@@thechimpmaster That's a very totalitarian thought. My point was about one drawing more controversy over another, so we don't really have anything to discuss it looks like.
Confirmed things that existed that are lost? Homer's lost epics including one that details the fall of Troy, (we have to rely on Virgil and Quintus of Smyrna for the summary) Livy's history of Rome books 11-20 Pyrhric Wars and first punic war, Livy HIstory of Rome books 45-144,145 BCE to Livy's own time around the early first century. the contemporary histories of Alexander the great. The Chinese histories and literature burned by Qin Shi Huandi. A lot of Carthage's own history, some of the fragments of Sumerian histories, so much.
Some of the articles that passed by on screen I completely forgot about until i saw them again. Especially "Canzo Empyrean," the G.I. Joe fan film. I remember constantly reading that article because it sounded like such an ambitious project. It's just never been a high priority search. I'm wondering if it even existed, since it seems like an internet rumor now. EDIT: I take that back. Apparently, some of the film has been found since I read that article years ago.
Charles-Émile Reynaud's late 19th-century films can be considered the first pieces of modern animation. However, most were destroyed after he threw them in the Seine river (he was dirt poor and very depressed). Some however are still viewable. "Pauvre Pierrot" is considered his oldest surviving animated film, released to the public in 1892.
The Ringu "lost" cut is almost certainly fake. Japanese horror from the 90s and early 2000s relied almost exclusively on building an atmosphere of dread rather than special effects. It's a hallmark of the genre and one of the biggest criticisms of the US remakes of Ringu, as well as Ju On ( The Grudge) and Kairo (Pulse) is the reliance on effects and jump scares rather than the atmospheric fear of the originals.
I’m honestly not surprised to see the 2007 phantom blood movie was talked about so early on, but I had forgot that the Araki hate comment was so early on. Edit: I just refound your channel after years of forgetting about it and your videos are still as classic as ever!
Have you ever considered covering lost music? I accidentally stumbled upon Everyone Knows That lost song recently and got sucked into a rabbit hole of lost music.
Here's my lost media: An Sesame Street episode from around 1974 in which Big Bird has a bad dream that he is "Bad Bird," and shoots (with a toy gun or "fingers" in a gun shape) some of the people on Sesame Street. He may have been wearing a cowboy hat. I think the nightmare was influenced by a book he had been reading about the Old West. I have not been able to find a reference to this online and nobody else knows what I am talking about. Did this happen or did *I* have a dream about Big Bird having a dream?
I still can't believe the Christine Chubbuck audio was leaked, I've heard so many youtubers reading out the transcript of what she said but to hear it myself is an entirely different experience, it's downright bone chilling.
You're going about the video wrong. The oldest pieces of lost media wouldn't even be film-related, only sound related. Try 78rpm acetates and test recordings, made from the 1900s - 1950s. 99% of the time, they always feature something that was never commercially released, and they are the only copy of its existence anywhere.
Wow I didn't know that there were some topics that were leaked pretty early on before the wiki went through a change (like the unaired Sesame Street episode, the banned Sesame Street episode, the war short of Mickey Mouse going to Vietnam, the Cracks short, the Batman Filipino Movie, and the Dexter's Lab episode called Rude Removal).
I remember finding the lost media wiki while looking for old anime I couldn't find. Years down the road I'd find some of them on TH-cam or partially translated but some I still can't, like the colored English translated emanga that were once available online in the 90s. They featured a lot of artists but most of them weren't well known, except for maybe morizono milk who's still producing things but the page is still archived on wayback
Technically the oldest lost media would be cave paintings.
I literally though this was about stuff like that. I was thinking of the Library of Alexandria myself.

Another ancient lost media are the mayan, mixtec and aztec books (or codex). These civilizations had actually libraries with hundreds of them, but spanish burnt all of them because it was considered a source of pagan knowledge. Only 16 codex of all precolumbian mesoamerica survived, found in weird locations far away of central america, most of them for some reason ended in forgotten sections of european libraries before being founded again. Who knows if there are more waiting in the dark between books of europe.
The older the lost media, the more hard it is to find. That's the sad truth.
That’s mostly due to poor preservation, disasters, or other stuff
With the way they have been preserved like in paper or film or an old HDD they probably already disintegrated
Well not really, it depends on how it was preserved.
Ringu is a huge j-horror classic and I think you might get a lot out of watching it. It's the film that inspired the popular American horror movie "The Ring," and is much more well executed, if you ask me. That lost media case sounds really interesting, and I hope more evidence comes out.
I'm still confused on if it exists or not, I doubt Nakata would lie about there being a scarier version of Ringu because wouldn't a scarier version sell even better? I'm just glad we got Ringu in the first place.
@@RobertsArchives ya, you'd think so. Japanese film gets pretty wild at time so it's likely not legit
Never seen Ringu, but from the Wikipedia synopses, I always thought it sounded way better than The Ring remake. Like they do more with the Sadako character than the US version takes advantage of.
Yeah, I was really confused when he said never heard of it before. I thought by now, anyone who has heard of The Ring knows of Ringu, since The Ring is basically the American reimagining of it. The Grudge is the exact same way, as it is just the American reimagining of Ju-On, another Japanese horror classic.
@@SomeOfTheJuice Absolutely love Ju-On though, recently just recieved The Grudge Blu-Ray Collection.
The only thing I know is lost is my dad
Even your pfp is a skull bro 💀
Start a new thread and have people search with you
That is the hardest piece of lost media to find
Haha same
Same with grandma
An idea for a video: Do another Twitter questionnaire on what everyone's most wanted lost media is, but asking them to exclude beta or unreleased games. Don't get me wrong the first video you did of that is actually my favorite by you hence why I want a sequel, but it'd be interesting to see it again and get a consensus on the realm outside of video games.
Edit: Bro how have you never heard of Ringu before? The Ring. Ring any bells lol?
I feel beta and unreleased content should be excluded solely because I feel it’s a separate entire thing from lost media that was actually released.
you should do a video on pieces that were marked existence unconfirmed, but have been found
YES he NEEDS to do this!!!
Who would've thought that the very first lost media article on the Lost Media Wiki was a Mickey Mouse Vietnam cartoon? XD It is amazing to see just how far we've gone into the LMW over the years! And I hope we can continue to find more lost content both the past, and present! :) Even more interesting is that it used to be a Wikia page that the majority of the original page can still be found! Also, congratulations on reaching 14 years on your TH-cam channel, LSSQ! :D It's amazing how we've gone from making clay sculptures to searching for lost content for all kinds of things! Here's to many more years of searching!
In regard to the Paley Center in California; it no longer physically exists. Took a trip to the address they list in LA, and theres a toy museum where it once stood. I believe the New York one is the only physical place you can visit now :(
Whoa that's surprising to hear, especially since I feel like every other article on the Wiki mentions it. Guess we really are in the age of digitalization
I'm sorry, but how is it even possible NOT to know about Ringu? Or at least the remake The Ring?
Yeah, that genuinely threw me off.
"It has a dedicated user base" Sadako takes over T2 at every HHN at Universal Studios Japan. She also was a youtuber to promote her newest movie (I had to stop watching when they stopped doing English subs, but it was SO CUTE to see Sadako do Influencer and TH-camr stuff. )
@madamminalost To be honest, I had never heard of the film until two years ago and only one or two friends I've ever brought it up to have heard of it.
@SiDoesMinecraft I'd like to know more! The dolls came out, but no attached movie. How far did it go? I JUST found out about a Precure Dub attempt besides Glitter Force and WBkids (I think it was Yes Pretty Cure 5?) I've never heard of lost media hunts for like RomComs or soap operas and just by nature of the medium... we have to have deleted scenes for like Romancing the Stone or General Hospital. Etc
@@SiDoesMinecraft
... wrong comment. Sorry.
This just made me realize how long I've been into lost media now. I remember watching blameitonjorge's first crop of videos as they came out in 2015 and thinking the concept of lost media was the coolest thing I'd ever heard. I probably started watching you in 2017 or 2018. The old theme music at the end made me nostalgic!
Happy 14th anniversary to your channel and TH-cam career! It's incredible how time flies.
This is a legitimate trip down memory lane. I discovered the wiki when they were still in Wikia!
Same, when I was checking out the articles I couldn't believe how old some of the topics actually were. And the fact that a lot of that old content is still missing more than 10 years later!
@@LSuperSonicQ maybe you can add a new piece of lost media the Joe test pilot from blue’s clues from 2001
This is a misleading title, should be renamed to "oldest articles on the wiki"
I agree
I remember when I first started watching your content in 2017. You've come a long way man. Can't wait to see how much you continue to grow! Loving the content as always. You and Jorge honestly carry lost media on TH-cam.
As someone who was in the community/wiki since 2013 and contributed quite a few admittedly very poorly written early articles (1953 Sad Story of Henry, Down the Mine Pilot, TMNT Forever War, Creation 1931, Sonic Endangered Species, Frankenstein Test Footage, Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman Audio, for example), it’s been quite a ride. I don’t keep up with the wiki much anymore, but I’m glad to see the hunt for lost media is still going strong, even if i have some issues with it
That vulture short unlocked a memory, growing up in the 90s was like living in a crazy fever dream and I loved every minute of it!
I kinda crashed for a second when you were saying you had no idea what Ringu was and I was like "oh come on, the ring was the most popular horror movie for like a year!" and then I remember that happened like 20 years ago and then I got depressed
Same. My brain simply refuses to accept that the existence of The Ring is no longer common knowledge these days.
@@mateobonavento3939 It's still pretty common, LSSQ is just kind of... not the kind of person who would put himself in the situation to have heard of it, we'll say.
I'm pretty sure the oldest pieces of lost media were all the texts from the Library of Alexandria.
As mentioned on another comment, there probably wasn't anything mega-important there that wasn't also elsewhere.
Also it didn't entirely burn down in one giant fire, there were several smaller fires over time (oil lanterns and springy rolls of thick paper all stacked up, amirite?), it also declined as the fortunes of Greece declined next to Rome, and also a lot of scrolls were stolen or removed.
Prehistoric cave paintings: 🤫🧏
How do you not know about the Ring? Sadako is iconic
Imagine losing the license to your own film that you worked on. It's like losing the license to your child.
Ah, I thought this video was going to be more about historical lost media. But it's still interesting to see what the more popular topics were at the time the wiki was created.
Yeah I think one on historical lost media would be a good topic too
It's so absurd how much media is "lost" just because the company that owns it won't release it or will only show it for screenings
Businessmen and executives don't care about lost media, only zoomer autists do
To me personally, my oldest run in to lost media is the lost Doctor Who episodes. As a young kid you ask for very basic questions like "can I watch the 2nd Doctor" only to learn that like over half of that era's work is just GONE.
My mind went to the Library of Alexandria when I saw the title lol
6:02 It’s actually from the Sesame Street: 40 years of life on the street book. I have a copy.
I remember watching attack of the vulture on an old site with that streamed 90s nick shows and shorts. At the time I didn’t even know it was lost media.
I first learned of lost media because I has always remembered seeing Attack of the Giant Vulture and finding it disturbing. Later on when I tried to find the short I learned that it was actually completely missing and that a community of people was also actively looking for it.
Another interesting old piece of lost media is Ready 'n Steady by DA. I still remember when that was finally found.
Ohh yeah I remember that one. It stayed a mystery for quite a while, never see it get brought up anymore.
What is Ready ‘n Steady?
I would like to see a video on Actual Old prices of Lost Media
London After Midnight
Humor Risk
etc those sort of lost films. Some one hunt those down or tell me there stories.
I also wonder about lost works of literature, theater etc. that were lost or even banned. Supposedly Shakespeare wrote a sequel to Love's Labor Lost that, ironically, is lost. Lots of Greek plays too are lost. I wonder what the oldest lost work that we know the name of is.
I’m sure not very many have heard of this, but I think it’s important to at least document it’s existence.
Sometime between 2011 and 2013, American rock back My Chemical Romance was writing and recording music for their next album, only referred to once as “MCR5” in an interview Gerard (the singer) did sometime around mid to late 2012. Rumors from those who have allegedly heard the album, most notably including Grant Morrison, claim that the album is dark and heavy, darker than anything they had previously made. Some say that it was only demos, whereas others claim that anywhere between 3 and 27 songs were completed and recorded. Sadly, on March 22nd, 2013, My Chemical Romance broke up before the album was publicly announced. About a year later, they did release a collection of EPs, titled “Conventional Weapons”, which were the predecessors of the songs that ultimately became “Danger Days”, their last and final album. As the years passed, MCR5 became both a legend and a meme within the fanbase, earning the title of “what could have been” if the band had never broken up. Sometime during 2015, Gerard was a guest on a podcast, where he was asked about MCR5, and finally revealed the album’s official title, but it’s subject matter as well. The album is titled “The Paper Kingdom”, and is about grieving parents creating a story together in group therapy about their children, who all died in horrible ways. The story follows these children as they fight against an evil witch inside a forest. Gerard said that they planned out entire stage productions for the album, including costumes and props, akin to that of a musical. Ultimately, the band deemed the subject matter too dark and disturbing to release, becoming almost a sensitive topic to discuss. Fans have respected the decision to keep the album shelved, although some stay hopeful that some or all of it will be released.
During early October of last year, someone with the title “Excalibur” leaked some few-second-long, watermarked clips from three of the tracks off of “The Paper Kingdom” on a site called “OnlyFiles”, where they asked for 10,000 USD in exchange of releasing the album in its entirety. A Twitter user got wind of this from the r/MyChemicalRomance subreddit, and shared the snippets. Fans debated whether the songs were real, as the singer not only sounds incredibly similar to Gerard, but the instrumentals are also similar to the iconic MCR sound. For a few days, the Twitter thread stayed up and gained a ton of recognition, alongside some discourse. Fans reiterated the band’s decision to keep the album private, and heavily discouraged people not to give the leaker any money of any kind, as he was not affiliated with the band or Warner. Soon after that, the band must have somehow gotten word of the leaks (I think “The Paper Kingdom” was trending at some point? can’t remember), and the fan that had reposted the clips was emailed by Twitter to immediately remove the media from their account, or face a DMCA copyright strike. Of course, the fan took the clips down, but this ultimately proved that the snippets were real, genuine, copyrighted clips of music from “The Paper Kingdom” rather than faked for clout and/or money. So far, those are the only remains we have of the album, as the album in-full is probably on a hard drive locked away somewhere in a Warner vault, rather than documented on a server where the system could be hacked and all the private, hidden songs could be released to the public.
Sources: I’ve been a fan for just over 4 years and have not only rewatched tons and tons of interviews, but also witnessed the leaks make the rounds on Twitter in real time; I think I was one of the first retweets on the initial repost, now that I come to think of it.

Interesting read, thanks for sharing.
Who absolutely cares.
The lost media wiki has lost media
How ironic
I'm 20 and attack of the giant vultures is absolutely terrifying. what an idea they sure had back then to make that short
also I did not expect that nostalgic older version of your outro at the end, that was a pleasant surprise
I'm 82 and it makes me pee myself
I watched it for the first time recently and I didn't find it scary at all
@@bunnybird9342I'm very chicken lol
@@ArthurTRead I don't really get scared of stuff like that. I didn't watch Nickelodeon as a kid and Attack of the Giant Vulture is older than me, but I clearly recall not being scared of stuff that scared many other kids (such as the Heffalumps and Woozles song from Winnie the Pooh and Arty Smartypants from Between the Lions).
@@bunnybird9342Well, aren't you the big man?
I don't have that much time following Lost Media but I love it and this was really interesting, I would've never thought of looking up what are the oldest pieces of Lost Media out there.
Happy 14th anniversary for your channel, LSSQ!
This reminds me of how I'd sometimes use the Wayback machine to look at old archives of TV Tropes pages. Good times.😊
Hearing that Rude Removal is lost media boggles my mind, doubly so that it never aired--I distinctly remember watching that episode as a kid, on Cartoon Network.
IIRC, it aired once on Adult Swim
It isn't lost you can find it on yt
I have a possible piece of lost media. It was a hot wheels game that you could play on your phone, i don’t know about other platforms than mobile. It was a 2d like racing game that was like those old car parking games you would play on the web when you were a kid or something, with the iconic top down camera view but instead of parking cars, you are racing hot wheel cars. The control scheme was some sort of wheel on the left side of the screen, and then the pedals (either had both brake and gas or just gas my memory is fuzzy). It was quite old, roughly from 2013-2014 or something. You collected hot wheel cars by completing levels i think. I think there were boosters on certain tracks that made your car go faster, and there may or may not have been power-ups to screw over your opponent’s. I think i played it on an iphone 5 when i was little. I downloaded on the app store so it clearly was not some web browser game (or maybe it was, web browser games can become apps you can get on phones). I forgot the name of the game, it was like hot wheels racing among those lines or something different than that.
How could "Attack of the Giant Vulture" be scary? The little girl is doing everything in her power to not laugh at the puppet.
I didn't even know either that the original Ring(Ringu)1998 had another version of itself, or supposedly.
I remember searching this topic during college between 2007 & 2010/11. It crazy to think how far its came since those days on the internet. Found a few goodies that I wonder if I still have on any old HD’s somewhere in storage. 🤔 🤔 🤔. Also have hundreds of Off Air Recordings on unfinished DVD+R’s from the mid 2000’s through 2016 or so.
As soon as I saw the thumbnail, I instantly thought it'd belong to those shady paper animations you'd see on Nick Jr. or something. I kept remembering there was one with lines going down as if a ceiling was collapsing... Or...I can think of that THIRTEEN Please Stand By segment from the 90s, the one that had an eerie tune in A. Or...there was that random segment that played Lightning Strikes by Lou Christie and had a green background with a trippy guitar pic of sorts...
Maybe you can find these..?
I'm not sure if it's technically considered lost media given that the footage was never publicly released but someone sent me the original professional recording of Toy Story on Ice!
It'd be interesting to see, for sure.
I just can't believe how old some of these dedicated mysteries are.
Dude if you want OLD lost media, go ancient like lost bible shit. That stuff is permanently gone because it’s been lost for thousands of years
Every lost episode of Dr. Who
I love the Neck Deep reference, man I wish I could go back in time and hear that EP for the first time again. What a magical time for Pop Punk!
I’ll be honest I was doing something and I got caught off guard for a second when you said “The Sesame Street Crack Short”
One piece of lost media that WAS on youtube for YEARS, was Jason Hawes from Ghost Hunters arguing with a staffer in the street, then PUNCHING the cameraman down to the ground. Scrubbed from the internet, around the time they decided to (ugh) bring the show back.
If you ever make another video about lost music or something like a fan submission video, you should include this song called Interface. It's a Vocaloid song made and deleted in 2011 and it also has it's own page on the wiki. It would be great if you could include this song in a future video since it could make this topic more well known but it's totally fine if you don't want to cover this topic.
The person who made it, Masa, also has more lost media involving him but Interface is more famous than other the cases. The language barrier may make researching it a little difficult though.
I've been saying this for months!!!
Danny and The Sessions - Just Another Boy (unreleased mod soul)
It would be interesting to hear his take on the song.🤔
I hate how the lost media wiki is mostly focused on stuff from the 90s onwards, and mainly cartoons and kids shows, there's so many other interesting cases of lost media out there that people don't talk about enough
And most of it isn't even really "lost" media to begin with. The wiki treats anything that isn't readily avaiable to the public as 'lost' even though they're preserved in production companies' archives (as in the case of every single thing listed in this video).
Something is truly lost if no copy of it is known to exist.
@@samp.8099 lost media fans talking about the thousands of hours of historically and culturally significant silent movies and early television that were literally destroyed to save space vs lost media fans talking about the never re-aired pilot of some kids show from like 2004 that nobody actually likes
@@ineedausername124 Well, finding silent movies requires leaving the house, be knowledgeable about the subject matter at hand and have plenty of monetary resources and connections, as opposed to just browsing Reddit or TH-cam and sending E-mails to people, which is what most internet lost media "searches" amount to.
@@samp.8099 Well yeah that's true and it makes sense that people only talk about the areas they are interested in but there's a lot of really interesting stories about those types of lost media and there's a lot to talk about and I just wish people did more

Man I remember the ringu movie I had it at my local library once and I got it to watch when I was a teenager it was awesome❤ awesome video I love watching Lost media videos on your page it's now become a consistent Habit to watch almost all the videos on your Channel
Something I haven’t been able to find was a strange animation (maybe 2d stop motion) Caperucita Roja (Little Red Riding Hood). We watched it in 6th grade Spanish class in 87. I knew it was old then. My guess is it was animated in the 60s-70s. I was enthralled by it and would love to find it.
Oh damn, that old Wikia layout is kinda nostalgic. Too bad it was destroyed by the Lost Media Archive.
How ironic, the lost media community created lost media
You've never heard of Ringu? Oh sweet summer child lol
wait, you've never heard of the ring? that's kind of impressive
It’s odd that the Brussels cut would exist due to Europe usually toning down graphic imagery in horror. However many films have missing content. From deleted footage to footage shot for TV releases.
I want to see missing shots from National Lampoons Christmas Vacation with scenes that would only ever air on TV in the 90’s.
Hey, LSuperSonicQ, love the videos! I have been trying to come across and show I remember watching, only once I have seen it. It was in a shed like environment, with pictures of the hosts family members, the host of the show, (can’t remember if male or female) would talk about random Hollywood things from around that time. (2013-14) I remember it airing on the BET or bravo! Networks.
angry beaver was my first piece of lost media that got into this lane and icebergs
So surprised no one is looking for the ghost of toys r us footage !!!
It was played in the bay area for two weeks . News stations showed footage of barbies floating off the shels in their boxes.
I remember seeing it . I was a kid and went there all the time .... its completely lost and it would be hard to fake before the web was even alive back then.
So strange ....
Why is the Christine Chubbock video any more or less controversial than the recording of people being mauled by bears, or any number of recorded deaths? Also, she intentionally did it on TV, so if anything, wanted people to see it. Folks logic is weird.
What is so much less moral about her than Grizzly Man or those cannibal tapes though?
@@thechimpmaster That's a very totalitarian thought. My point was about one drawing more controversy over another, so we don't really have anything to discuss it looks like.
Confirmed things that existed that are lost? Homer's lost epics including one that details the fall of Troy, (we have to rely on Virgil and Quintus of Smyrna for the summary) Livy's history of Rome books 11-20 Pyrhric Wars and first punic war, Livy HIstory of Rome books 45-144,145 BCE to Livy's own time around the early first century. the contemporary histories of Alexander the great. The Chinese histories and literature burned by Qin Shi Huandi. A lot of Carthage's own history, some of the fragments of Sumerian histories, so much.
It's always a good day when LSSQ uploads
I think your video on Yeah Yeah Beebis I is the first video that really got me thinking about lost media, so massive thank you for that
That one is such a classic. To this day it's one of my favorite videos that I ever made.
@@LSuperSonicQ Glad to hear it
Oh did you know that recently huge content from cartoons like pitch bibles animation leaks and even a full pilot just got leaked these last few days
Nowadays, this Lost Media Wikia wiki is now the Lost Media Archive FANDOM wiki.

My biggest piece of lost media is my happiness
I want the batman fights Dracula and Phantom Blood.
The library of Alexandria?
its a good day when LSSQ uploads!! :]
Some of the articles that passed by on screen I completely forgot about until i saw them again. Especially "Canzo Empyrean," the G.I. Joe fan film. I remember constantly reading that article because it sounded like such an ambitious project. It's just never been a high priority search. I'm wondering if it even existed, since it seems like an internet rumor now.
EDIT: I take that back. Apparently, some of the film has been found since I read that article years ago.
Charles-Émile Reynaud's late 19th-century films can be considered the first pieces of modern animation. However, most were destroyed after he threw them in the Seine river (he was dirt poor and very depressed). Some however are still viewable. "Pauvre Pierrot" is considered his oldest surviving animated film, released to the public in 1892.
Why the fuck would people want to unearth the bear audio?
The Ringu "lost" cut is almost certainly fake. Japanese horror from the 90s and early 2000s relied almost exclusively on building an atmosphere of dread rather than special effects. It's a hallmark of the genre and one of the biggest criticisms of the US remakes of Ringu, as well as Ju On ( The Grudge) and Kairo (Pulse) is the reliance on effects and jump scares rather than the atmospheric fear of the originals.
I’m honestly not surprised to see the 2007 phantom blood movie was talked about so early on, but I had forgot that the Araki hate comment was so early on.
Edit: I just refound your channel after years of forgetting about it and your videos are still as classic as ever!
Wow... Talk about a trip down memory lane haha
1:27 The Wayback Machine/Internet Archive might be lost media itself too, soon.
Have you ever considered covering lost music? I accidentally stumbled upon Everyone Knows That lost song recently and got sucked into a rabbit hole of lost music.
Happy 14th anniversary dude your channel is amazing
Here's my lost media: An Sesame Street episode from around 1974 in which Big Bird has a bad dream that he is "Bad Bird," and shoots (with a toy gun or "fingers" in a gun shape) some of the people on Sesame Street. He may have been wearing a cowboy hat. I think the nightmare was influenced by a book he had been reading about the Old West. I have not been able to find a reference to this online and nobody else knows what I am talking about.
Did this happen or did *I* have a dream about Big Bird having a dream?
George Melies the legend of lost media.
I still can't believe the Christine Chubbuck audio was leaked, I've heard so many youtubers reading out the transcript of what she said but to hear it myself is an entirely different experience, it's downright bone chilling.
Another banger video.
when i read the title, i think of old ancient roman theater plays
This is such a good subject!
There's an absurd plethora of lost media from times with perishable parchment.
I think the oldest pieces of lost media ever are probably the missing segments of the epic of Gilgamesh.
The subtle Neck Deep reference was perfect 🤌🏻🤌🏻
The sound that escaped my body when you revealed the 3rd entry..............
You're going about the video wrong. The oldest pieces of lost media wouldn't even be film-related, only sound related. Try 78rpm acetates and test recordings, made from the 1900s - 1950s. 99% of the time, they always feature something that was never commercially released, and they are the only copy of its existence anywhere.
Wow I didn't know that there were some topics that were leaked pretty early on before the wiki went through a change (like the unaired Sesame Street episode, the banned Sesame Street episode, the war short of Mickey Mouse going to Vietnam, the Cracks short, the Batman Filipino Movie, and the Dexter's Lab episode called Rude Removal).
I remember finding the lost media wiki while looking for old anime I couldn't find. Years down the road I'd find some of them on TH-cam or partially translated but some I still can't, like the colored English translated emanga that were once available online in the 90s. They featured a lot of artists but most of them weren't well known, except for maybe morizono milk who's still producing things but the page is still archived on wayback
Imagine if the Lost Media wikia was lost media 😂
I don’t mean to be that guy, but I literally said out loud how does this guy not know about The Ring when you mentioned not knowing what rings was.
I think the start of modern lost media was in 1978, where the BBC started searching for Dr Who
You should make a video about the lost 1985 Gary Coleman made-for-TV movie: Playing With Fire, where Gary plays a pyromaniac!
Watchu talkin bout Willis?
That movie sounds even funnier after playing Postal 2, where Gary Coleman appears and is extremely violent.
and the lost Samuel L Jackson film from 1972
All I ate today was cheese
