The reel one was also called Hardware Wars, but it was a whole different thing. it can be found on youtube. Type "hardware wars, hbo, short takes" on search and it'll find it for you.

Do you have the one where this lady has a scary looking hand in a jar? I remember it ending w/ the monster coming back for it, then it went to a scene in someone else's house where you saw her hand in a jar. Anyone?

Thanks. I've been looking for that for years. Nostalgia Rules!!!

I have that one. I'll upload it in a little while.

This spoof is hilarious. Thanks for downloading it. Do you rmember another one HBO did in the 70's about a guy who was being chased by reel to reels like the blob. He was in a television station by himself and the reel to reel starting chasing him. If you do have it or know what it is, can you upload it or tell me where I could get it. Thank.
