So the film is set in the 1970s. So... what? Is that relevant to how the film plays out?


At present, the film is available for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-Qeee8D2Ro viewing on YouTube]] and is also included as a bonus feature on the DVD of ''Tremors 4''. To anyone who watched Creator/{{HBO}} during the 1970s and 1980s, ''Recorded Live'' frequently ran as filler between movies and, if YouTube and IMDB comments are any indication, served as NightmareFuel.

''Recorded Live'' is a 1975 short film directed by SS Wilson of ''Film/{{Tremors}}'' fame.

Mr. Aaines (John Goodwin) gets a letter for an interview at KLRM, a TV studio. He shows up for his interview but finds the building deserted. All he finds are some [[EmptyPilesOfClothing discarded clothing]] at a desk and a pair of film reels. The reel film promptly comes to life and goes after Mr. Aaines. Our hero is quick to learn that the film has an appetite for human flesh.

At present, the film is available for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-Qeee8D2Ro viewing on YouTube]] and is also included as a bonus feature on the DVD of ''Tremors 4''. To anyone who watched Creator/{{HBO}} during the 1970s and 1980s, ''Recorded Live'' frequently ran as filler between movies and, if YouTube and IMDB comments are any indication, served as NightmareFuel.
