What a great look at the societal fears that inspired some of the great horror masterpieces of the modern age! A documentary like this needed to be made. It definitely shows that modern horror is rooted much more in contemporary fears than most people think. Although slightly weighted to the 'Dead' series (Night of, Dawn of), it runs the gamut through TX Chainsaw Massacre and Cronenberg films. I only wish that it was longer. I would love to see a multi-part series of this content along the lines of Ken Burns' Baseball or the such.
Although listed as a Canadian production, I think they got a lot of information and footage from Pittsburgh (George Romero, Tom Savini, and some new footage of the Monroeville Mall). Anyway, it's good information about some of my favorite films of all time. WATCH IT. It'll make you want to rent Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Shivers, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Halloween and watch them until your eyes bleed...
