Ivan V @RT69191899 01/13/2024 Las de terror y Sci fi son las únicas que valen la pena aquí, pero igual pierde aquí mucha mas personalidad que su primera temporada. See more johnathon w @Hoppynsc 01/02/2022 Best season yet, thanks to the expand run of seven movies over four and a nice transition for horror to Christmas films, going from "Halloween" to "Elf". The one slight flaw that a classic Thanksgiving film like "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" would have made a nice middle film but throwing in "Nightmare Before Christmas" is a nice touch. Gets better with each season. See more 10/18/2021 The background music is exceptionally loud and the edits are frustratingly quick. This season varies quite a bit from the wonderful previous seasons for technical reasons (especially the AlienS episode). The background music is so loud and so constant that we couldn't hear the dialogue. There's a good documentary in there, but even our kids asked us to turn on the closed captioning so they could figure out what was being said. The interview speeches are kept to an absolute minimum - the moment they stop talking, it cuts to the next thing (or person). I hope NetFlix can rework these and re-release them. The series is great. See more 10/15/2021 This is akin to the worst "VH1 Fabulous Life's of:" and doesn't give a gosh darn inch of actual good information about the movies listed. I'd rather listened to a dying animal talk about a movie than watch this hot freaking garbage See more Marc Z @TKDLife 10/14/2021 If you appreciate behind the scenes looks at films like John Carpenter's Halloween then this is the show for you. Light hearted but informative look at a number of modern films through interviews and footage, as well as little known facts. The show is fast moving, funny, interesting, and informative. If you are a film buff this is a great show for you. See more Read all reviews

Episodes

Episode 1 Aired Oct 12, 2021 Halloween It took a young team's blood, sweat and tears, and a triple-threat visionary to make this bloodless yet scarily influential horror masterpiece. Details Episode 2 Aired Oct 12, 2021 Friday the 13th What began as a bald rip-off made a bloody splash as a splatter classic; the unlikely crew spills its guts about the highs, lows and gory effects. Details Episode 3 Aired Oct 12, 2021 Nightmare on Elm Street With a studio on the line, an imaginative director in the pocket and an actorly demon in tow, this supernatural slasher hit raked in a surreal profit. Details Episode 4 Aired Oct 12, 2021 Robocop A painfully tight suit and budget, a passionate European auteur and on-set tensions fueled this blockbuster takedown of cutthroat corporate America. Details Episode 5 Aired Oct 12, 2021 Aliens A hard-driving director, stressed crew, great expectations, and a tiny budget made for a difficult birth in the case of this mother of all sequels. Details Episode 6 Aired Oct 12, 2021 Coming to America Behind the scenes, this litigious, loveless foray involved fisticuffs, Nostradamus and iconic Black talent. Details Episode 7 Aired Oct 12, 2021 Nightmare Before Christmas The unlikely holiday classic, and stop-motion fist, comes to ghoulish life with persistent vision, and nimble work by a ragtag bunch of misfits. Details Episode 8 Aired Oct 12, 2021 Elf Despite its gifted cast and wonderland of effects, this endearing Christmas comedy is sold short by the studio, until it scores big with moviegoers. Details
