Shock-less Doc
19 June 2006
If you've seen the films, no need to see this.

If you haven't seen the films, this will hardly inspire you.

Donald Pleasance and Nancy Allen narrate a documentary on fear using classic horror movie clips as a backing. Decent idea, it just DIDN'T WORK.

Hearing Pleasance cheer Jamie Lee Curtis on during the Halloween clips was kind of funny though.

They also showed a handful of horror comedies from years gone by. Abbot & Costello and Martin & Lewis made cameos.

And I never saw Vice Squad or Nighthawks as horror films. I did like the scenes though. And the movies were good too. They aren't horror however.

And Frogs made me laugh.

I saw this in a theater in New Jersey in 1984 and had a good time. I saw it on video in 2005 and noticed it hasn't aged well.

Dated badly, but it might still be a curiosity piece.
