Featurette Film Club Special 

Good Taste Made Bad Taste – The Making of Peter Jackson’s BAD TASTE 
dir. Tony Hiles ? 1988 ? Documentary/Film ? 25 mins ? From original VHS 

One of the most inspiring making-of-docs, giving us fascinating insights into the ingenuity of the 25 year old Peter Jackson as he brings a group of friends together to make of his first feature — the aliens-amok-in-Makara splatter classic, Bad Taste: from building a DIY Steadicam, cooking the SFX in his parents oven, to the making of the infamous sheep-obliterating rocket launcher scene, and the international success the film gained after the four year production, filming on weekend and holidays.

Dario Argento’s World of Horror 
dir. Michele Soavi ? 1985 ? Documentary/Horror/Film ? 71 mins ? From original Laserdisc 

An incredible video essay on the films of Italian horror/mystery maestro Dario Argento. Featuring in-depth interviews and behind the scenes looks at his work from 1969 to 1985.

Limited edition artwork is available for sale at all TV PARTY, TONIGHT! shows.

Curated and introduced by Tim Stevens (@whyareyoubeingweirdwithme).

A season of obscure and radical oddities resurrected from the depths of film and television history. Short form and far-out. Single, Double and Triple bills. Bootlegs, VHS, Laserdisc, DVD Extras, Bonus Features. The intention is to delve deeply into the art and artist who disrupted convention and taste, who had no rules and few limits.
