Synopsis:

What we have here is a companion piece to my older fan edit called “Tranzor’s the thing: Late night tv edit”.


Intentions:

This is a slightly different (but in theme) nostalgic take on an 80?s film. This was made to hopefully bring some of you back in time to the older days of when we had many local television stations before they were mostly all wiped out (let’s say 1960?s to the early 80?s). This edit emulates viewing a rather crappy film print (common on locals) on one of those stations that someone is recording on a vcr. Complete with commercials (that span the decades of the 1950s- to the early 1980?s), station logos and more. All in glorious 16×9 to please the current set of HD TV owners!!!!!


Change List:

MANY cuts and too numerous to list, but some examples are: 1. Added AIP logo at the beginning with sound from the game Night trap 2. Telephone call scene greatly shortened (dir’s own wishes) 3. Some shots were altered, reversed, substituted for others and in a few cases digitally censored for television 4. Many scenes also had the audio manipulated to fit the cuts made 5. footage that was removed were replaced by commercials and such


Additional Notes:

I took the 1981 Joseph Zito slasher horror film the Prowler and altered it to look and feel like an older film using a two step encoding process. The film now has a “creepy old sepia look with the traditional poor film print noise (not over doing it)”. I then edited it down roughly 20 mins and removed anything that would not fly on television back then, as well as items for pacing and some scenes in which the director of the film in looking back would have removed/shortened (like the telephone call scene). For those of you that loved my edit for the Thing, this takes that and instead of giving you that late night tv feeling, provides for you that late in the afternoon movie feel on some day during the week (more so a tribute to the ABC 4:30 movie).
