I hope this is the correct forum to post this in, since it’s basically about reproductions of sets, props, and costumes.
For as long as I remember, I’ve been inspired by collector Bob Burns - for his niceness, his collection, and his Halloween Shows. I’ve never had the good fortune to meet Bob in person, but I’ve read all of his books, read magazine articles, watched internet interviews, and watched the documentary Beast Wishes over 50 times (that‘s not an exaggeration).
I‘ve long been on the search for the unreleased Bob Burns Hollywood Halloween documentary. I know part of it was available at one point on Bob’s website, but somehow I missed seeing it.
Two nights ago, I was thrilled to find that someone earlier this year has uploaded these videos. Thank you to whoever uploaded these to YouTube. You can see them here (in seven parts):
What a treat to see the construction of each of these Halloween Shows! I’ve been through the videos twice already and can’t wait to see them again.
I can’t pick a favorite show, although the Aliens one is amazing. Technically the Forbidden Planet one is pure magic for its time.
I thought there might be others on here who haven’t seen these videos. They are inspiring.
Now, I’m on the search for what would have made up the second disc of that documentary...the full videos of each show, including different versions with different cast members.
