Twenty Twisted Questions (Laser Disc) (1992)
Subtitled "Two Decades of Anonymous Art", Twenty Twisted Questions is a 60-minute semi-interactive laserdisc released by The Residents as part of their 20th anniversary celebrations. Like the later Freak Show CD-ROM it was released by the Voyager Company. Side one collects all of the Residential videos up to 1992, and the second side consists of live footage from the three tours and a discography spanning all twenty years of Residents albums (at twenty seconds each). Each year's section ends with printed information which can be stepped through and read frame-by-frame. There is also a bonus track of the Ty's Freak Show performance.

FREAK SHOW: VIDEO PRESS RELEASE (VHS)
Promo video for Freak Show CD-ROM. Directed by John Sanborn. Includes Harry the Head video by Jim Ludtke.
THE EYE'S SCREAM (VHS) (1991)
Narrated by Penn & Teller, this documentary covers the first 19 years of The Residents' career. It includes clips from videos, live shows, and comments from people who work with The Residents such as Homer Flynn and Hardy Fox of the Cryptic Corporation. (There are no interviews with the Eyeball Guys themselves -- they don't like to talk.) The video contains parts from most of their videos as well as excerpts from various TV appearances not available elsewhere, such as the performances of From the Plains to Mexico and Teddy Bear from their appearance on David Sanborn's Night Music.
The Eyes Scream was directed by John Sanborn, who also directed the live sequences on the Freak Show Video.
