The amount of lost silent films during the early 20th century that were intentionally left to rot by studios due to them believing movies were just a fad is a cultural tragedy! The amount of classic movies we may never knew even existed due to the master copies being intentionally left to rot just makes you have endless sleepless nights.

It’s sad that many piece of lost can never be recovered no matter how hard the community tries, either due to time, a huge lack of any preservation, legal issues, or being intentionally destroyed by the actual creators or a separate party. That’s why it’s important to document as much information as we can so that the mere existence of these lost pieces of media can be preserved from being erased from history.

When it comes to intentionally destroyed pieces of Lost Media, the missing episodes of Doctor Who certainly come to mind. Of these, episode 7 of "The Daleks'' Master Plan" titled "The Feast of Steven" is probably one of the best examples. "The Feast of Steven" was a Christmas Special that took place in the middle of the serial and was pretty much entirely unrelated to the plot of the serial. It even ended with the First Doctor breaking the 4th wall and wishing the audience a Merry Christmas. As I understand it, the episode was sent to be wiped not long after airing and is thus the first episode of Doctor Who to become Lost Media.

with the Commodore era, I wonder if some of the games/programs my dad has or had are lost? Some of them I know arent, like Bard's Tale, but I want to see if I can backup the savedata somehow, the fact that this 30 year old save data hasn't corrupted or wiped is incredible to me, it should be preserved. At least I hope the data is still there, we tested it a few years ago but it could've been lost in the time since. I wouldn't be surprised though if we DID have something lost but the floppy discs have since lost their data, either by nearby magnets or just natural degradation (in a sense), as he pirated a lot back then, and most of the commercial floppy discs were lower quality. Like he mentioned this program where you could create sheet music, he sent it to a friend of his who needed it, I dunno if thats been preserved, especially since its not a game, so it might be considered important enough to preserve.

Kind of an intentional lost media: the Jean-Michel Jarre album Music for Supermarkets (Musique pour Supermarché). Intentionally pressed only once, master destroyed, sold on an auction and broadcasted only once on AM radio (RTL) at the time with Jean-Michel Jarre encouraging "robbing" the sound. His intention was to make an unique piece like a painting. Broadcast recordings are easy to find these days but the quality is far from perfect. Some parts were re-released / re-interpreted later by Jean-Michel Jarre but the full original soundtrack is not available to the public in its full quality to this day.

I know a random bit of lost media that some folks might find interesting. There is a single episode of KND that was never aired. It was part of a contest held by Cartoon Network's branch in Brazil to promote the show, the premise was that you'd write in details from each of the first few episodes, mail them in and get picked out of a list of contestants to have your own character put into an episode. It was made to tape, handed to the winner and everyone else only really got to see a glimpse of the particular character in a commercial break where Number One introduced their new agent and that was that. I recall the winner's character was a girl with some kinda hover bike contraption for her 'gear'. As far as I can tell, the winner never posted any kind of backup of it to anywhere. So it might be lost, or it might just be buried in someone's junk drawer.

There's also the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Phantom Blood movie. It had a limited theatrical release in Japan only in 2007 and then vanished. Never released on home media or anything. Some people think Hirohiko Araki, creator of the manga, had something to do with its disappearance. Destroyed on purpose maybe?

Don’t ask me how I know but Frank Sinatra starred in a porno in the 30s, and once he was gaining fame, he ordered all copies to be destroyed. It was called The Masked Bandit (not the Kissing Bandit, that’s a 40s movie). Maybe you could talk about it in the next one?

I’m sure if you really cared, you could find it, but the Disney Channel series The Famous Jett Jackson (and the accompanying movie) haven’t been seen in over a decade. The last rerun of the show was 2006 iirc. It’s not on Disney+, and wasn’t on any streaming services prior. It’s like Disney wanted people to forget about it. I don’t think there was anything “controversial” in it, so I don’t know why it’s unavailable.

The camera was rolling when Michael Massee fired the faulty prop gun that killed Lee, and after things were settled in court with Lee's mother, the footage of Lee's death was destroyed.

12:24 Cavalese cable car crash was a tragic accident that destroyed the moral of my unit VMAQ-2. The reason the tapes were destroyed in a fire was because they were laughing after the accident not realizing that they had just killed 20 innocent victims and the Commanding Office thought it was not going to look good on a jury. They didn't learn they had killed 20 people until they landed the EA-6B Prowler. Their is more to the story of why the Prowler hit the cable, but i think it's best not to talk about it, their is no need to throw more wood in the fire.

Thing is it's a Japanese game series and would of been developed in Arcade in Japan. But the games before it Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands was Mario popular in UK in the 80' so maybe this is why it was tested in UK. Some belive this location test was just the PC engine/TG 16 version in a arcade cabinet.

in the wrestling industry there was a lost media that was thought to be gone forever of Bret Hart vs Tom Magee, it was a non televised match that was filmed in 1986 and basically Bret made Tom look like a million bucks in the ring to the point that the WWF execs thought that Tom would become the next Hulk Hogan, sadly Tom without someone like Bret to guide him in the ring was a walking calamity and so he fizzled out. After word of this match being filmed fans wanted to see this match, WWF realized they dont have the tape in their archives anywhere, Bret didnt know about the tape it was seen as a holy grail for fans as even the most inside people of the business have never seen the match, fast forward to 2019 and Bret hired a photographer he knew to take all his vhs tapes and convert them to digital and she found the match in Bret's tapes.

CS Lewis had a number of unpublished manuscripts. After his passing, his brother, in order to clear out space, started burning the old notebooks. A friend drove up, saw what he was doing, and salvaged what he could, but many of his works were lost. In particular, there was going to be a 4th book in his famous "Space Trilogy" that dealt with time travel. We have 1 notebook's worth of the story, but the rest was never found.

That face on the thumbnail...it looks EXTREMELY similar to what I saw in a dream I had as a kid (except for the red thing in its eye) I was in my grandma's house and I went into the bathroom, and the bathroom had a window (small, high up above) and in this dream, there was a weird face on the window itself on the inside, looking like a yellow pancake with a smoother face, more resembling a sun (almost looked like the teletubbie sun if the baby was older) It smiled at me in a very unsettling way, it seemed like it was both trying to be nice and scary at the same time, which obviously freaked the hell out of me. It's a dream that pops in my head every few months or years, so as soon as I saw the thumbnail I instantly clicked.

One piece of lost media I personally think is tragic is the intentionally destroyed animation cels from works that either came out, or were never released. (I'll be mostly referring to anime) I LOVE animation cels, and I hope to add one to my collection some day, specifically one from the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion. I'm lucky in that the show was really popular, and cels can be seen floating around on eBay every now and then. However, not all anime were so lucky. Some studios burned animation cels after they were done with them because they'd otherwise be taking up space. Some were destroyed because they were deemed worthless at the time. Some were even bought by an artist who paints over them in crude ways, often violent. (There's a VICE interview with that guy btw) I remember also hearing a story about cels for an animated intro to something (I think a Sonic game?) that might have been destroyed, as very few, if any, have been found. (I can't remember specifics, it's been a while.) Nowadays, most animation is digital, but in anime, the pencil sketches are still done largely by hand. Any destroyed sketches or cels are a huge shame, since those are missing pieces of animation history now. Sure, we can see a lot of them in the actual shows, but the physical objects are no more.

Even digital cels can be lost or corrupted. Just because you make a digital copy doesn’t always mean it is saved. Even recent still still can end up lost or banned.

@@EvaFull That's true, but digital cels are MUCH safer than physical. People can make backups on multiple devices, on external drives, and even put them on websites like the Internet Archive. Of course, if all of those fail, it'll be lost, but having to destroy multiple copies of something is harder than accidentally or purposely destroying the one-of-a-kind physical version. I personally save the high quality scans of certain cels I enjoy whenever I come across them, just in case.

I KNOW of a LOST MEDIA!! I KNOW of a LOST MEDIA!! It is SORT of personal to me and yet, NOT personal at the same time. This is a movie about Underground RAVERS (nightclub kids/ nightclub goers) from the EARLY 2000's. I was an EXTRA in ONE scene of the film. It should have been about 2002 through 2005 that it was made and I'm pretty sure it was MADE in the USA. The electronic music (rave)(P.L.U.R.= Peace Love Unity Respect) scene was "UNDERGROUND" in the USA until the 2010's. I was living in Westminster Colorado (It's a Suburb of Denver.) from around 2002-2004 with a CLUB electronic music DJ named DJ Shazad and his wife and another roommate. At one point everyone in the house got invited to a movie audition & film casting call at a warehouse in the city. When we got there, there was a group of other party kids/ ravers there for the scene as well. Raves and Night Club parties were always crowded so they needed a BUNCH of people for the scene. Apparently MODERN day "raves" (Now called "Electronic Music events") are similarly crowded just some are supposed to have camping n' stuffs. Aaaannnyy waaay, their film crew (FILM: We still use the term: FILM, LoL) shot/ filmed the scene and they had to do a couple of takes. We were told what the title was but that title (at least for me) has been LONG since forgotten and is now HELLA, obscure. I have been looking up "RAVE movies" from the early Ots, of which there are QUITE a few. I would have to watch EVERY single one of those to MAYBE come across the correct scene. ANY assistance would be GREATLY appreciated. =o)

One music-industry related story is that of the Great MCA purge. Probably starting somewhere in 1975 and continuing through at least 1979, one of the higher ups at the Music Corporation of America had decided to cut costs by disposing of everything in the MCA vaults that wasn't a stereo master tape. His reasoning being that stereo was all that there will ever be, mono is sooo 1966 and the mutltitracks and session tapes were just taking up space.... he made the decision to throw it ALL out. That's why today, artists like Three Dog Night, Steppenwolf, The Mamas & The Papas and to a certain extent; The Grass Roots.... can never have their catalogs either remixed in a modern fashion or remastered because all that exists are stereo master tapes. Rumor has it that some collectors did some heavy duty dumpster diving and saved a lot. Something similar happened to the film catalog of the defunct DuMont TV station. After DuMont closed up in the late 50's, their catalog was purchased by ABC TV. After holding onto it for a few years and hen-pecking a few good shows out (like the Honeymooners, and a few others) the rest was dumped.... literally DUMPED into the East River in New York.

It was said to be the creepiest rendition of the story ever made, to the point where many people were so freaked out that they had to stop watching. A second performance was taped later, but apparently wasn't nearly as good as the first.
