I also want to point out that there are a lot of lost mummy films (14 to be exact). The earliest was at 1909 called la momie du roi. A 1911 verison only has one production still. Theres one in france and one from 1923. The good news is that a 1918. German film has been found its called eyes of the mummy ma and is pretty ridiculous in my opinion. You can find it in on youtube and its on a channel called a touch of evil

[@zmbdog]

There's _three_ from 1911, all titled _The Mummy_ ! There's also another 1909 film and one from 1910. The latter actually still exists today but the other 4 are gone.

[@Guernicaman]

Instead of remaking horror movies that are very much available & rewatchable today (I'm looking at you, Rob Zombie), how about remaking these movies that have been lost to time? I for one would love to see a Golem Trilogy, produced & or directed by someone like Guillermo Del Toro.

It's funny that you mentioned Nosferatu as it very nearly became a lost film itself.

IIRC, only one print managed to survive and it is from this print that every other copy derives.

I just realized this while watching this again; In Phantom of the Opera, the guy with the lantern might've come from the silent version, but possibly the title card is missing. A lot of times in silent films they'll have people talk, followed by a card popping up to show what's being said. I'm not sure why the card wouldn't be put in, since usually they'll recreate the title cards in cases of missing scenes, but it could be that they simply forgot or didn't realize that scene needed a title card. That's just my theory on the lantern man scene.

16:38 Recently saw this man in my dreams! I had sleep paralysis for the first time when I saw him. I first saw this drawing 2 years ago, but forgot about him, so I don’t know why I just now saw him. I was staying at a hotel with for a wedding that was out of my small suburban city. It was Sunday, the day we were going to leave, and I had woken up earlier only for my mom to tell me she would wake me up in forty five minutes and that I could go back to sleep, which I happily did. I fell asleep, which is surprising for me (sense I’m a insomnia patient) so this was already a red flag. Usually when I fall back asleep, I have nightmares. I was back in my hotel room, but instead my room was dark. It looked how it did when I had awoken at 4:00 AM because *_insomniaaa_* (i fell back asleep and awoke again to have my mom tell me to go back to sleep) I was laying on my back in bed (which I never do) and I couldn’t move, blink or speak. This dream was incredibly realistic. Suddenly, my sleepy peace was interrupted by someone (who looked like this man) on top of me screaming slurs and gibberish. Maybe it wasn’t gibberish, and it was some other language? At the time, I was learning Norwegian, so maybe my brain made up some Norsk words? Idk He was holding down my shoulders and he was not even 2 inches away from my face. After what felt like hours of me horrified and him screaming, he turned very calm. He then yelled loudly “45!” What creeps me out is that, all of his words before were gibberish- and somehow he just now said that number clearly, the fact that my mom said 45, and that I’m not the only one whose “seen” this man. I then jolted up as soon as he said 45. Usually I wake up and lay there after a nightmare, but this time I flew up and began to cry. - if you managed to get all the way down here, thanks for reading, you’re cool.

Nosferatu was once thought to have been lost forever but pirating saved it. I'm not saying people should pirate maliciously or anything but sometimes it does go to show these people sometimes respect the work more than the creators themselves

[@SirChubbyBunny]

Technically, that's incorrect. When Bram Stoker's estate took the makers to court for copyright infringement, they won and one of the orders from the ruling was that all copies of the film were to be destroyed. At the time, we thought all prints and negatives were. However, the film had moved across Europe and parts of North America by this point, and one was ultimately found in the hands of a private collector a few decades later - if I remember correctly. So the version of the film we've seen is the only copy that is believed to have survived.

[@todslaughter2]

@@SirChubbyBunny Nosferatu was never lost, and in fact it was re-released in Germany in the 1930's under an new title, "The 12th Hour", with some new (talking) scenes added, end this print also exists at the Cinémathèque Française. And I saw the classic, original version when I was 15 at the Cinémathèque Française, in 1955, il a beautiful sepia print. Often, movies that are "lost" in America are in fact in European archives. Take for instance the 1932 RKO version of "The Monkey's Paw", directed by Wesley Ruggles, and (uncredited) Ernest B. Schoedsack. Apparently the US archives only have a fragment of this film. But it was released in France in 1936, dubbed, and a friend of mine has a 16mm print of it. From this print he made a numerization, so I have this "lost" movie on a DVD-r... Of course it's spoken in French, but it could be re-dubbed in English as the New York City archives have the complete dialogue in print !

Something that's worth mentioning is that the events of the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, as well as the firebombing campaigns of WWII meant that a huge number of Japanese films of the time are missing or lost altogether; there's an ongoing search for countless films from this era. One such pair of films which interests me quite a bit are "King Kong Appears in Edo" and "Japanese King Kong", or "Wakusei King Kong". These two films show that even as early as the 1930s, Japan was interested in trying to follow the trends of western cinema, even though it would be almost 30 years until King Kong finally appeared in a Japanese film which is still around today, 1962's "King Kong vs. Godzilla".

More Info: The Golem movies just so happen to be directed, and written by the same guy who also played the title character.

It was also the first horror trilogy, the first horror parody ( _The Golem and the Dancing Girl_ ) and I believe the first official remake (the 1920 film). Up to that point it was usually literary sources being adapted almost yearly rather than actual "remakes" of an existing film.

[@WilfredCthulu]

Jorge is at his strongest when the spookiest casts over everyone. Seriously, the really old films Jorge talks about are always so interesting. I really learn a lot of cool stuff from them.

[@wavecast64]

I think there wasn't a thought to preserve most silent films because people were used to not being able to see something again once it was taken out of theaters as with most plays and musicals. There were very few people to appreciate and archive classic film until television and the home video market became a thing so most people were just concerned with the most current films of the time. That along with the precious metals in film and the cost of storage make it understandable why so much of it wasn't saved.

[@wavecast64]

Early television shows had a similar fate because the low interest didn't justify the high cost of storage. You could do a whole video on the dumont television network, the oldest tv network in the us. Almost the entirety of their archives were allegedly dumped in the hudson river in the 1970's

[@peterkrucker7394]

Sounds like a great plot for an anthology series: "Guy goes looking for lost movies." Each episode would recreate one of them in the style of its time.

Paul Naschy made a franchise of films called 'The Waldemar Daninsky' saga. They were all based around the same character who was a werewolf. [There are at least 5 movies in this series] It's very possible that the discontinued film was picked up years later, retitled, and with a new director and cast, and rewritten and re-marketed.

[@chrise8275]

A lot of old movies in color have black and white photos so I’m pretty sure the werewolf movie is not lost and is just under a different title.

When I saw phantom of the opera as number one I thought he was gonna talk about the 1916 version

[@kopfkino4318]

Once I saw a Silent Version of Phantom of the Opera but the first scene had sound. I never found this version again, but it was amazing. I loved the creepy, dark dialog! The rest of the movie was completely silent.

[@SirChubbyBunny]

I've seen that version as well. It's probably a hybrid of the 1925 and 1929 version.

[@theface6584]

I would like to say the In The Mind Of The Damned has been found. It can be downloaded off the Lost Media Wiki

[@PartyDude_19]

Speaking of lost Phantom of the operas, there is also supposedly a completely different silent Phantom of the opera film released 9 years earlier in 1916 that is lost in it's entirety with only some promotional artwork still existing

The original ending of 1925 Phantom of the Opera is the holy grail of the phandom. It would have made this film the closest adaptation of Leroux's book.

[@ianstuckey4405]

Well, this explains a LOT about the single color scene in my copy of Phantom of the Opera, which I got on one of those bargain price 50 movie packs of mostly B-grade (and lower) stuff.

[@SirChubbyBunny]

The scenes with color are from the original 1925 version.

[@gocoyle5560]

I'm a huge fan of silent films. I would love for these films to be found! I think silent films are really important for history. I own over 100. Fingers crossed that they find more!

[@instinctbrosgaming9699]

There's a difference between "better than The Lion and the Mouse" and "not as bad as The Lion and the Mouse". Perhaps the reviewer might've enjoyed The Lion and the Mouse and found The Terror to be even more enjoyable.

[@garge7676]

My theory with the Lantern fellow speaking in the silent film version was that, when the reel of film was sent to cinemas, a vinyl record or cylinder was sent along that had whatever the man was saying on it, and it would be played alongside the film. That, or a script was sent with it and a voice actor or local in the area would read it out, and that these had simply been lost over time as well.

[@raiderjohnthemadbomber8666]

Universal built a (sound ) stage specifically for this movie. Having been in the studio I can tell you that it is significantly different than any other.

I’d love to see more lost film videos like this, especially ones of the Silent and golden age eras!

[@SirChubbyBunny]

I agree. I also think modern (after the 1960s) lost films are interesting, even if their existence is unverifiable - such as the Brussels cut of Ringu or the 80s zombie film Dead End.

[@zmbdog]

​@@SirChubbyBunny My hobby is modern-era lost horror (post-1950) because it's such a neglected subject. While I believe Dead End is pure fiction there is WAY more lost content from this era than anybody realizes. The kicker is that the few modern films that actually _do_ get an occasional mention by those in the film preservation business (Hu-Man, The Dead The Devil and The Flesh, Voodoo Heartbeat) though scarce, are not and never have been lost! And the next several years we're going to see a _huge_ increase in lost films from the 1970s and 1980s. It's already begun actually but it takes a long time for the absence of a newly-lost film to become apparent.

[@SirChubbyBunny]

@@zmbdog The SOV stuff comes to mind when it comes to the 70s-early 2000s type of content. It still amazes me how certain films resurface after being lost for over 20 years, like Metal Noir.

[@JulesSepulchre]

This is super interesting! I was kind of surprised that The Head Of Janus (Der Januskopf) wasn't included, given how famous some of its cast were (it starred Conrad Veidt, and Bela Lugosi was in a supporting role) *and* the fact that it was directed by FW Murnau, the guy who directed Nosferatu. Plus, it was one of the earlier adaptations of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde... Can you tell how much I want to be able to watch this movie LOL.....It would have been amazing.....

[@SirChubbyBunny]

I think more than half of Murnau's work is lost these days, which is a damn tragedy on top of his short lived career after he was killed in a car crash in the 1930s.
