“When people ask me, ‘Hey, what’s it like being in the gayest horror movie ever made,’ ‘I’m like ‘It was fucking awesome!”
Hell yeah! This was a lot better than the first! It was great to see everyone talk so kindly about the films they made and the horror genre as a whole. I’m so glad they covered blood diner. And it was nice to see Linnea Quigley.
These documentaries are great and I will def be seeing part three soon.

So much fun and perfect to watch with a group of friends or play in the background while doing work. I love the Tetsuo portion and also the way these films draw attention to the crazy and overlooked sequels like Ghoulies 3: Ghoulies go to College as well as the actor highlights like Linnea’s segment. I think this even my third rewatch lol

Mercifully cuts down on some of the dorks. Gives some more obscure stuff some love so it feels less like overlong nostalgia puff.
Yet again I must rewatch The Being and try to enjoy it. Jackie Kong gets a good amount of love and if they do a third they should keep spotlighting people like her.
