[Anon refers to this post] I don’t remember! I don’t remember where I get some of my stuff. Sometimes ppl randomly send it to me w/o a source, and sometimes it’s stuff that was hosted on a website that’s since been taken down. I’ve been collecting it for 20 yrs and didn’t really think about sourcing back when it was only for my own personal collection.

It’s not like I have a password to a super secret online archive and I’m only leaking out little bits to you! Well, I do still have my own personal collection, but I post the things that are worth sharing.

Hopefully we’ll get this kind of stuff for sale or handed to us w/ the new adaptation(s), since that’s a more common thing to do these days!

Most often, I’ll be digging around the interwebs looking for a better quality version of a production still and land on a dead forum, in another language, with a bunch of pics posted, and I’ll go into a user’s account there and find another gallery of their collection… I get lost down the wormhole for a few hours that way, and sometimes find nothing new, sometimes I find smtg I haven’t seen before.

That’s one of the majorly frustrating things about this fandom, a huge difference for us vs. more recent fandoms, is that the more recent fandoms often get a lot of great behind-the-scenes vids, info and pics. The ppl behind movie!IWTV didn’t give us much in terms of behind-the-scenes extras on the VHS, DVD, or BR releases, and we didn’t get a gorgeous illustrated book like the Crimson Peak fandom got 😦

I think the combination of intense secrecy they needed before & during filming (so as not to spoil anyone), plus after the movie came out, the fact that it had so many societal taboos in it…. it pushed the envelope for its time and everyone was quick to make fun of it. Maybe the producers doubted that anyone would want behind-the-scenes materials.  

I don’t remember it being as common for all movies at that time, anyway, to share behind-the-scenes stuff. Getting a big behind-the-scenes treatment was more for movies like Titanic or Star Wars.
