Randy's Ghost Stories

Randy's Ghost Stories is an experimental anthology horror film written and primarily directed by The Residents, with additional segments by John Sanborn and Bill Domonkos, starring The Residents. 
== Background ==
In January 2010, The Residents premiered their Talking Light show, a moody exploration of ghosts, old age, and mortality. Each live performance featured three or more 'ghost stories,' the second of which were randomly selected each night. The stories featured live backing with a pre-recorded monologue and accompanying visuals, shown from a portable projector held by The Singing Resident as Randy Rose. The pre-recorded monologues were delivered by either The Singing Resident or a guest performer, including Residential veterans Molly Harvey, Isabelle Barbier, and Gerri Lawlor, as well as the mysterious Adan Faudoa. While The Residents directed most of the films, two were done by John Sanborn and Bill Domonkos.
Randy's Ghost Stories is a collection of the visuals presented during these segments. It was sold on the fourth Talking Light tour, which premiered on November 3rd, 2010. These DVDs also came with additional experimental films by the group, Walking Women and Mutts With Mustaches, the latter of which is a Tweedles / Tabasco 'proof of concept' music video dated 2006.
Although recordings of the ghost stories were made available to purchase along with the full concert audio, the DVD was the first time the stories were given names, except for 'Talking Light,' which was named before each performance, or 'Perchance to Dream,' which earlier had been given the title, 'Howard,' on the 2003 Kettles of Fish Box Set. 
Initial DVD copies were miss-pressed; The Cryptic Corporation had included an incomplete sound mix, notably featuring no vocal track on Domonkos' Unseen Sister video.The Residents – Randy's Ghost Stories (2010, DVD) - Discogs On December 15thThe Residents - ""Randy's Ghost Stories" DVD is now available for order here", a corrected version was released as an on-demand DVD-R through the group's CreateSpace page.HOME (Archived December 23rd, 2010)The Residents – Randy's Ghost Stories (2010, DVDr) - Discogs
