Going to Pieces
I love this kind of thing. A really interesting documentary about the history of the slasher movie with loads of clips from different films and loads of interviews with genre icons and personalities such as Wes Craven (director of Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream, Last House on the Left etc), Rob Zombie (director of House of 1000 Corpses, Devil's Rejects, Halloween Remake etc), Stan Winston (the late make up effects guru), Tom Savini (make-up Friday the 13th, The Burning, TCM 2 etc), Felissa Rose (actress best known as Angela in Sleepaway Camp) Betsy Palmer (Jason's mother from the Friday the 13th movies) amongst many more. Fans will have seen and heard most of the stories and anecdotes before but nonetheless it's an interesting enough wee documentary and if you're just getting into horror and want a quick slasher history then it's a good place to go.
