What critics compared The Alphabet to
The first disc contains Six Men Getting Sick (1967), The Alphabet (1968), The Grandmother (1970), both versions of The Amputee (1974) and Premonitions Following an Evil Deed (1995), all of which make Eraserhead seem accessible and commercial by comparison.
It also feature 2K restorations of six Lynch shorts, all previously released by Lynch on DVD, with brief video introductions to each by the director: Six Men Getting Sick (1966), an animated (and self-explanatory) art-installation; The Alphabet (1968), a strange mix of live action and animation; the weird fairy tale The Grandmother (1970), The Amputee, Version 1 (1974) and The Amputee, Version 2 (1974), both starring future log lady Catherine Coulson, and Premonitions Following an Evil Deed (1996), his deliriously weird and unsettling 52-second piece shot on the 19th century Lumiere camera for the anthology film Lumiere and Company.
