Twenty Twisted Questions

Twenty Twisted Questions (stylized on the US VHS as 20 Twisted Questions) is a retrospective video compilation of works by The Residents, released as an interactive laserdisc on May 28th 1992 in celebration of their 20th Anniversary.
In 1993, the compilation was issued on VHS in NTSC format in the US by The Cryptic Corporation, and in PAL format in Europe by Euro Ralph.

=== Production ===
Production on the laserdisc began sometime following Ty's Freak Show on November 11th 1991. The film only contains roughly 14 minutes of newly produced footage, comprised of the title sequences and the digital animations of the band's album artwork featured in the latter half. Most of the music videos featured in the package had previously been released through other forms of home media, but the Performance Art section was comprised entirely of unreleased archival videos re-edited for the disc. 
=== Release ===
The Laserdisc was released by The Voyager Company in association with Ralph Records on May 28th, 1992.https://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/26134/V1053L/The-Residents:-Twenty-Twisted-Questions Voyager were at the time also looking into the emerging CD-ROM format, and made The Residents aware of it. The group began developing the Freak Show CD-ROM with Voyager shortly following the release of Twenty Twisted Questions.
In 1993, The Cryptic Corporation and Euro Ralph released VHS editions of the film.https://www.discogs.com/master/view/341508
