4 Great Horror Documentaries
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/horror-m ... 18823.html

The American Nightmare (Dir: Adam Simon – 2000)

The American Nightmare is more on the analytical side of horror than the rest of the entries on the list, but that shouldn’t be a deterrent for you.  I guarantee that if you are a fan of horror, then nothing is going to sail over your head.  Taking interviews with some big names such as John Carpenter, Wes Craven, Tobe Hooper, and John Landis as well as horror scholars like Carol Clover and Adam Lowenstein, the film helps to try an understand why society as a whole has become so interested in horror films in the first place.  Mostly focusing on the 1960s and 1970s heyday of horror, The American Nightmare works to try and determine the appeal of the new generation of the genre as well as acting like a nostalgia filled dream world to the older horror fans out there.  While this documentary is a little less entertaining overall then the rest, I think a lot of the hardcore horror fans out there will still get quite a bit out of it.


His Name Was Jason: 30 years of Friday the 13th (Dir: Daniel Farrands – 2009)

Thinking back on it, when Jason and Freddy were in their Heyday, you kind of had to pick a side.  Of course you saw both series of films as soon as they came out, but everyone was either in the Jason or Freddy camp and that’s just how it was.  Well, this right here is a documentary for all of those Jason fans out there.  This has got to be one of the most in depth interview rosters I have ever seen on one DVD which tried its best to interview almost every actor in all of the Friday the 13th films including everyone that has played Jason and a large number of his victims.  Random celebrities such as Seth Green also show up to share their stories on the Friday the 13th Saga and coming in at 90 minutes, this documentary packs a whole lot of history and interesting facts into its running time.  This is a must see for all of the Friday the 13th fans out there.

Not Quite Hollywood: the Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation (Dir: Mike Hartley – 2008)

While not strictly a horror documentary, Not Quite Hollywood is a fascinating documentary on the world of exploitation cinema in Australia that will keep you enthralled and entertained all throughout its 103 minute running time.  Interviewees include names from past and present including James Wan (director and creator of Saw), Quentin Tarantino, George Miller (director of Mad Max), and even Dennis Hopper.  They go into all types of exploitation films including action films, crazy sexual adventure flicks, and of course horror films that all came from the continent of Australia.  What is so great about this documentary is that I guarantee you will find a number of films that not only have you never heard of, but you immediately want to see.  The gem of this collection though is the behind the scenes stories of films shot on location with no permits, no stunt men, and no money at all which as we can all probably tell, leads to some interesting stories and some really close calls.  If you are a fan in any way of exploitation cinema, check this one out immediately.

Never Sleep Again: the Nightmare on Elm Street Legacy (Dirs: Daniel Farrands and Andrew Kasch - 2010)

Created by the same people that brought you His Name Was Jason comes another documentary that chronicles the entire Nightmare on Elm Street Saga.  Of course they leave out the remake almost in its entirety (which is totally fine), this documentary methodically goes through every one of the Nightmare on Elm Street films from the first installment all the way up to Freddy vs. Jason.  The documentary doesn’t stop there though; this one includes a section on how popular the marketing of Freddy was as well as a section devoted to Freddy’s Nightmares, which was the TV show that existed to tell a little bit of Freddy’s back story.  As for the interviewees, the only person missing from the entire legacy is Johnny Depp, but a clip from an episode of Inside the Actors Studio briefly showed his feelings towards his first feature film role, and although he doesn’t say much about it, he clearly was appreciative for the opportunity and had a great time making the film.  Coming in at just under  four hours, this is a Nightmare on Elm Street fan’s dream compilation which even though it’s a long one, will keep you in your seat for the entire running time with the fascinating on set stories as well as the fun and high energy interviews of the numerous casts.  If you haven’t seen this one yet, seek it out immediately!

100 YEARS OF HORROR [1996]
In the 19th century, malformed or deformed people were the object of morbid curiosity in traveling sideshows and circuses. In the 20th century they became fodder for Hollywood horror movies. Part of the 13-episode 100 Years of Horror series directed by Ted Newsom and hosted by horror movie star Christopher Lee, 100 Years of Horror: Mutants and Freaks reviews the many "mutant" and "freak" characters that have suffered on the silver screen from the earliest days of moviemaking. The program features clips from many films, among them The Creature From the Black Lagoon (Amazonian Gill-Man); The Little Shop of Horrors (man-eating flower); Freaks (the aforementioned sideshow denizens); and The Day the Earth Stood Still (Gort, the Robot). The program includes interviews with some of the filmmakers, behind-the-scenes stories, still photos, and rare film footage.

AMERICAN NIGHTMARE, THE [2000]
In the late '60s, the tone of American horror films began to shift in the wake of the startling success of George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead -- horror films became gorier, bleaker, and began to subtly reflect the political and social upheaval gripping the country. Through the '70s and '80s, films like Last House on the Left, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Halloween held a distorted mirror up to American culture, reflecting its fear and chaos in the wake of Vietnam and Watergate. The American Nightmare is a documentary that looks at the transgressive horror films of the '60s and '70s and the people who made them. Directors Wes Craven, Tobe Hooper, and David Cronenberg, special effects man Tom Savini, and film critics Tom Gunning and Adam Lowenstein are among those interviewed by director Adam Simon. The American Nightmare was produced for the premium cable outlet The Independent Film Channel.

BEST WORST MOVIE [2009]
Troll 2 star Michael Stephenson steps behind the camera to explore the phenomenon behind the low-budget Italian-produced horror sequel that young movie fanatics have christened "the Rocky Horror of our generation" in this documentary which proves that just because a movie is awful doesn't mean it won't find an audience. Twenty years ago, a group of inexperienced Utah actors teamed with an Italian-speaking production crew to shoot Troll 2. At the time it seemed like the production was a complete fiasco; little did they realize that they were making cinematic history. Flash forward two decades, when Troll 2 is playing to packed theaters across America, and fans of the film get the unique opportunity to find out just how this messterpiece came to be. Can director Claudio Fragasso come to terms with the fact that his biggest failure has since defined his cinematic legacy? And what ever became of the Alabama dentist-turned-cult-icon who delivered the immortal line, "You can't piss on hospitality!" Discover the answer to both of these questions and more as Troll 2 star Stephenson reveals why the film that should have been a forgettable horror sequel is still being celebrated 20 years later.

GOING TO PIECES: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film [2006]
For decades fright fans have cowered in horror as vicious killers stalked their helpless prey in the cold flicker of the projector bulb and in darkened living rooms with the curtains firmly drawn. Now, for anyone who has ever wondered just what motivated the filmmakers behind these brutal classics, this look at the history of the modern slasher film offers demented insight into some of the most terrifying motion pictures ever released. From Psycho to the giallo genre to Freddy Vs. Jason, Going to Pieces offers a comprehensive overview of the entire slasher genre as discussed by such horror luminaries as Wes Craven, John Carpenter, Sean S. Cunningham, and Rob Zombie.

HALLOWEEN: 25 Years Of Terror [2006]
Take a fascinating look back at each film in the long-running Halloween franchise started by John Carpenter back in 1978 to see just where the malevolent Michael Myers stands in the blood-soaked annals of horror history as actress P.J. Soles narrates the definitive documentary of the Halloween series. With rare, behind-the-scenes footage; over 80 interviews with such notable contributors as Jamie Lee Curtis, Moustapha Akkad, Debra Hill, Greg Nicotero, John Carl Buechler, Tommy Lee Wallace, Nick Castle, and Carpenter himself; comments and recollections by such well-known fans as Clive Barker, Edgar Wright, and Rob Zombie; and a comprehensive look at each and every film produced under the Halloween banner, this is the documentary to watch for Halloween fans who think they've seen it all.

HIS NAME WAS JASON [2008]
In this look back at one of the most resilient slashers in horror film history, host Tom Savini reflects on thirty years of bloody carnage and gory mayhem as waged by Jason Vorhees, the hockey-masked mama's boy who always gets his victim, no matter how fast they run. Filled with classic clips from every Friday the 13th film, featuring rare behind-the-scenes footage, and offering interviews with over eighty filmmakers, fans, stuntmen, special effects artists, actors, and journalists, this documentary offers the definitive look at the legacy of a killer who never needs to utter a word, because his trusty machete does all the talking. Featured interviewees include, Kane Hodder, Harry Manfredini, Sean Cunningham, Betsy Palmer, Felissa Rose, Lar Park-Lincoln, Greg Nicotero, Adrienne King, Seth Green, and Fangoria editor-in-chief Tony Timpone.

HORROR BUSINESS [2005]
Aspiring genre filmmakers and horror fans alike will want to check out director Christopher P. Garetano documentary exploring the colorful world of independent fright cinema. With subjects including Wisconsin-based auteur Mark Borchardt, Las Vegas-based "method director" Ron Atkins, and New York drive-in junkie David Stagnari, Garetano shows how, with a vivid imagination, a dash of innovation, and some staunch determination, even filmmakers who lack adequate funds and resources can create compelling and entertaining horror films. Additional appearances by iconic horror figures Joe Bob Briggs and Herschell Gordon Lewis drive home Garetano's point by highlighting precisely how low-budget horror take the kind of risks needed to keep the genre fresh and exciting.

HORROR EFFECTS [1987]
The special effects wizard behind such legendary horror films as Dawn of the Dead, Creepshow, and Friday the 13th shares his many trade secrets with aspiring special effect make-up artists in this informative instructional video.




LOVECRAFT: Fear Of The Unknown [2008]
Journey into the life and work of the weird fiction author who gave us the Cthulu mythos and inspired such notable horror authors as Stephen King, Robert Bloch, and Neil Gaiman. Though initially overshadowed by the masterfully morbid prose of author Edgar Allen Poe, H.P. Lovecraft's writings have proven very influential, and can be seen in everything from movies (Re-Animator, Hellboy) to music (Metallica's "Call of Cthulu) to video games Call of Cthulu: Dark Corners of the Earth). Discover how an Old World xenophobe crafted one of literature's greatest mythologies, and why his works continue to fascinate readers long after his untimely death as John Carpenter, Guillermo Del Toro, Peter Straub, and others reflect on Lovecraft's crucial role in the history of horror fiction.

THIS FILM IS NOT YET RATED [2005]
In a rare and refreshing reversal of roles, filmmakers put the powerful Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA for short) under the microscope for inspection in Academy Award-nominated director Kirby Dick's incisive look at stateside cinema's most notorious non-censoring censors. Compelled by the staggering amount of power that the MPAA ratings board wields, the filmmaker seeks out the true identities of the anonymous elite who control what films make it to the multiplex. He even goes so far as to hire a private investigator to stake out MPAA headquarters and expose Hollywood's best-kept secret. Along the way, Dick speaks with numerous filmmakers whose careers have been affected by the seemingly random and sexual-content obsessed judgments of the MPAA, including John Waters, Mary Harron, Darren Aranofsky, Wayne Kramer, Kevin Smith, Matt Stone, and Atom Egoyan.
