Weird Tales of the Ramones is a box set compilation by American punk band the Ramones, released on August 16, 2005 by Rhino Records. The set was compiled by Johnny Ramone and contains 85 songs on 3 CDs, plus a DVD containing the 1990 documentary Lifestyles of the Ramones. The latter features the Ramones' music videos up to 1990, interspersed with interview clips with the band members and other pop culture figures, and the DVD adds the band's post-1990 videos, including the MTV-banned version of "Substitute". The box set also contains a special oversize comic book, focusing on the legend of the band, written and illustrated by multiple contributors, a 3D pair of glasses and a postcard to dedicated to Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee.
