  • This video was recently discovered in the Australian Archives by Stephen Banham while researching his upcoming movie 'Drop Bears' - ATTACK of the Killer Koalas. This film was found in a canister labelled "D.B. Warning (do not broadcast)". It is believed to be used to educate migrants upon their arrival to Australia in the 1950's

      Thanks to your comment, i just learned, after wondering for many years, how Spaghetti Tree Restaurant in Melbourne got it's name. (article is on GoodFood website).
      Wonder if they still grow a bit out the back, or if those trees got cleared for some new building development. Oops perhaps shouldn't have mentioned that, think they were secret since the seedlings were brought into Aus

    This is no joke: back in 2008 I lost 3 mates in an excursion to the Outback. Some nights, I can still hear their screams...

      The screams of their human prey, soon overcome by the shrieks and howls of hell's most hideous marsupial. You're not alone, mate. Most of us in my Support Group still jolt awake at night to the memory of their murderous cacophony. And the screams.
      We're most sincerely sorry for your loss, friend.

    It's real footage but a terrible attempt at rewording the audio with an "authentic" contemporary sound.

    • @SoundJudgment
      @SoundJudgment 8 років тому +1

      Yeah. the mistake was using all that old, scratchy-sounding optical film-track footage... and mixing it with the guy voice-overing into a Shure studio microphone picking up the room-reverb. The two 'contrasting' sounds just don't add up. The voice is so much cleaner and live-sounding without the optical limits imposed. Even with the EQ'ing done to the final-track... it doesn't quite sound like an authentic mix. Nice try, though.

      Yeah a 50's newsreel warning tourists about the Drop Bears (and not the spiders, snakes, jellyfish and old Itaian men with hankies on their heads.
      Nothing gets past you guys hey?
      Not even the stuffed Koala they had shoved up in a tree.
      Here's a thing,.. next time you two genius's see a clip on the Drop Bear, maybe you could just grin and play along instead of trying to be super sleuths and impressing everyone with your outstanding perception of Voice over guys and reverb from studio microphones...
      Outfuckingstanding.

      Item #: SCP-6000
      Object Class: Euclid
      Special Containment Procedures: SCP-6000 instances are to be contained upon immediate discovery. At this time, no means are available to know whether SCP-6000 can be fully contained or not.
      The SCP-6000 should only be contained within a 6x6x6 stainless steel cell. No personnel are allowed direct contact without at least one armed person(s).
      Description: SCP-6000 is a Koala resembling anomaly that is highly aggressive to most forms of life, especially humans. It is commonly known in Australian folklore as the Drop Bear, and it has several anomalous abilities. The most common of which includes manifesting in locations where victims are isolated. Once a victim is spotted, it will instantaneously move to a tree above their location and drop down. Once dropped, SCP-6000 will use its claws and teeth, sharper than those of a typical Koala, to inflict heavy lacerations. As long as there are no nearby trees, it will not be able to manifest and drop down, meaning its attack is significantly less dangerous.
