** The aforementioned ''Mothman'', which served as [=TenNapel=]'s first foray into [[PlayingAgainstType live action filmmaking]]. It never finished post production and he would rather not talk about what happened. [[OldShame Except live-action film, but he'd rather not talk about that.]]

* OldShame: [=TenNapel=] originally wanted nothing to do with ''VideoGame/EarthwormJim'' (the video game and the cartoon it's based on). The video game didn't come out the way he wanted it, and the cartoon (despite being very funny and very memorable for a lot of people whose childhood was between 1989 and 1999) was just a cheap tie-in for the video games. He eventually stated that he would be interested in revisiting Jim, but the rights are a tangled mess, and he likely wouldn't have the creative control needed to avoid the {{Executive Meddling}} that caused the above issues.
