Spend hours in the boiler room on an ottoman reviewing and analyzing one of the legendary horror franchises with this amazing documentary. It will never cease to amaze me how creepy Robert Englund is even without the makeup. The man was born for the role of Freddy Krueger.

A fascinating discussion about the, well, history of horror films. From monster movies to psychological thrillers. Vampires to werewolves to masked murderers. Behind the scenes details and analysis of the trends and paradigm shifts that have occurred. Very well done!

A little long (basically a day’s commitment), but well worth it for any horror movie buff who enjoys watching the special features. An in depth look behind the hockey mask, and a how-to for beginning special effects artists.

Well, that was disturbing… spent most of these episodes going “why the hell would you do that?!?” Like playing with a Ouija board in a graveyard, some of the things they did on set of these films was just asking for something sinister to occur. So many classic films with skeletons in their closet, no pun intended.

Really makes me want to watch Galaxy Quest… mission accomplished. After hearing the hype for months following “honest trailers,” I was excited to finally find this on Amazon Prime. So many behind the scenes insights. Another one of those happy accidents that went on to become a cult classic. Beautiful, heartfelt tribute to Sir Alan Rickman. Wonderful overall documentary of the story of a legendary film that’s hard to categorize, beyond awesome.
