Lost Footage
Because the live wraparound sequences for Nightmare Theatre was shot on half-inch videotape, the master cassettes were regularly recycled by the program's producers for economical reasons. Thus, very little of Towey's televised performances survive today, far less than what remains of The J.P. Patches Show. The only introduction from Nightmare Theatre known to exist—about two minutes worth of footage—has been saved for posterity on the J.P. Patches: Memories video and the J.P. Patches DVD Collection. A few audio clips have survived as well, recorded by young fans with portable tape recorders during its original run, which have recently surfaced on the Internet.
