3/10 Dog Star Man (1964) 78m - The maker must have a record for the most number of short experimental films, movie night at his house must be fun
4/10 Cuadecuc, vampir (1971) 70m - somewhat experimental piece about francos 'count dracula' which I still ain't seen, been on my too watch list for years
6/10 In Search of Dracula (1974) 82m - Christopher Lee goes into quite a lot of depth about the legend behind dracula, I think I saw drac's castle in romania, but apparently not, as its the one they showed in this film
5/10 Alice Cooper: Welcome to My Nightmare (1975) 84m - Bog standard concert film, with a comments by concert goers
5/10 Monster Mania (1997) 62m -
6/10 Halloween... The Happy Haunting of America! (1997) 50m - Seeing Bob burns gut was welcome
7/10 Scream Greats, Volume I: Tom Savini (1986) 60m - Pretty good background about the guy, I always wondered if the guy was gay and this documentary didn't clear it up, I'm leaning on not
4/10 Don't Scream: It's Only a Movie! (1985) 85m - Price narrates, oddly one of the movies they are showing a lot of is an unknown philippino film that I only by coincidence just watched in the last year. Pretty much a cash grab, one funny part though (I forget what) but you can obviously see the guy choosing the clips was thinking fuck this shitty cash grab documentary
6/10 She's Alive! Creating the Bride of Frankenstein (1999) 39m - would of been interesting if the leader of universal didn't lose his role after 5 years, as it seemed whale under him had the freedom to make films how he wanted to do.
