Editor's note: You'll, hopefully remember that recently we had the absolute pleasure to interview Scott Spiegel (Evil Dead 2, Intruder, The Rookie) and we talked about his release of Super8Shorts 1 - a series of Super 8 films made by Scotty and his pals in the 70s (most of whom who went on to be involved with the Evil Dead franchise).

These films have been something of a holy grail for us Deadites (Evil Dead fans) - bootlegs have done the rounds at conventions for a long time, Josh Becker, a fellow filmmaker in the group, released some, some showed up on foreign DVD releases of Scott's film Intruder and a few have appeared on YouTube. This is the first time, though, that they have been made available in a semi-official capacity from the keeper of the 8s himself, Scotty Spiegel.

The first set is available for purchase here

You can hear our interview with Scott here

and here is the press release for the second set of Super 8s from Rob at the UK Evil Dead fansite BookOfTheDead.ws - thanks for sending our way Rob!

The Metropolitan Film Group Years - Scotty Spiegel's Shorts Part 2

This is our second Super8Shorts.com DVD presentation. For those who missed the first; while many have seen the iconic horror movie The Evil Dead, and its sequels Evil Dead II & Army Of Darkness, fewer know is that its creators & friends had a legacy of Super-8 Short film making stretching all the way back to their childhood in the late '60s. It's Murder, Within The Woods and The Blind Waiter are among the most prominent examples, but there were nearly seventy shorts made from 1969 onwards.
