Gwar's first commercial video release on the MetalBlade Video label that was sold through major retailers.

Finally you can experience a live performance in relative safety. Those too timid to attend a live Gwar show will appreciate that even though most viewers will suffer permanent brain damage at least they won't get blood all over their latest trendy outfit. Laugh in abject horror as Oderous Urungus, The Sexicutioner, Slymenstra Hymen, and company Rape, Burn, and Pillage their way into your heart. Join them in their never ending quest for exploitational sex and gratuitous violence." First release was on VHS, and the DVD is still available. Running Time: 57:45

The third Gwar movie, Skulhedface is about an organization called GLOMCO trying to stop Gwar. After a battle with GLOMCO, the organization's leader (played by Jello Biafra) is revealed to be Skulhedface, an alien sent by Cardinal Syn to harvest Jizmogloben (a fictional mineral) from earth. Skulhedface defeats Gwar using the Flesh Golem, and the band are turned into babies. Gwar tricks Skulhedface into restoring before killing him. This video remains in print.

This was another Slave Pit VHS release. There has been some confusion because the name of the tape released in 1996 is also the name of the 1991 short film that is contained within. There were two version of this tape released (both in 1996) - the only difference in the second one was that some editing minor mistakes were corrected.

In Gwar's fifth movie, the band appears on Sleazy P. Martini's talk show. With much gore and splatter, this video also includes a doomsday prophecy by an ex-Gwar member. This movie is included in the "Gwar DVD Box Set".

This is the last Gwar movie to feature Hunter Jackson, Casey Orr, and Danielle Stampe, as well as the only movie to feature Zach Blair, as members of Gwar. Chuck Varga, who had left Gwar in 1996, immediately following the tours for RagNaRok, had one final appearance.

This is a document of Gwar's 2000 tour. This video was sold at shows and through gwar.net, but was not an official Metal Blade release. It is one of the few concert videos that was not shot and edited by the band - most of this one is actually shot on real film, not just video tape. The only negative thing about this DVD is that they cut out many of the skits between songs, and stuck them at the end as bonus features. This title is currently out of print.

Released on Gwar's 2004 "Mock the Vote" tour, this limited DVD is basically a live show in 2004, with some similar concepts (and at the time, the first hearings of songs from War Party) from said tour. Some people had thought of this release as a more modern Live From Antarctica. Unlike Live From Antarctica, this DVD was limited in release to the latter "Mock the Vote" concerts in 2004 and 2005. In June 2007, Don Drakulich (Sleazy P. Martini) began selling a new DVD-R pressing of this show through his Hyperreal Productions web page. The 2007 version featured new menus and corrected audio problems that were found in the original.

Available on DVD June 20, 2006. It includes brand new videos, rare old stuff, and some live footage. There is a pornographic movie, starring Oderus Urungus and Sexecutioner, and is set to a demo of Sick of You, looped without any vocals. Also included is a very old video to Poor Ole Tom, directed by Dave Brockie. The main content of the movie is set up like an award show, where Oderus and Sleazy P. Martini reminisce with montages. They are the only two members of Gwar to actually make appearances, save a brief cameo by Balsac the Jaws of Death at the end, though some of the other Slave Pit Inc. employees are featured.

The announcer at the awards show is played by Chris Bopst, who was the first person to play BalSac the Jaws of Death.

Green screen animation/compositing, opening animations and additional camera work was done by Ken Jordan, a fellow VCU Art School student during Gwar's conception. Ken was a classmate of Michael Derks in the Music School for one year and a fellow Art School student of SlavePit foreman Bob Gorman in high school and at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Don Drakulich has announced that the band's next DVD will be edited from footage he has shot on the 2006 Beyond Hell tour and is expected to be released later this year after.

Don Drakulich has also announced that after Beyond Hell Live is completed, he plans to use the profits from its sales to fund the Dim Times documentary, which will chronicle the earliest days of the band and feature interviews with original members from the 1985-89 period.

The footage for the DVD was filmed at the National Theater in Richmond, Virginia and chronicles Gwar's return to outer space in search of its old Scumdog legion and its battle against Cardinal Syn. The disc contains the band's full 82-minute set, the 10-minute "Behind The Murder" mockumentary, plus a special "features" section, including interview extras, a behind-the-scenes look at special F/X being filmed and a slideshow featuring band shots from the album cover.
