Undoubtedly the best movie genre documentary on the market. Well crafted right down to the soundtrack
This franchise is sick! The first one covers 80s Horror heavy hitters. IMO, you watch this for the commentaries & to learn of new movies.

Where as the first part focused on the well known IP’s, the second part focuses on the lesser known horror gems of the 80’s, very intriguing
