As reported by B-D:

Quote:

Produced by Screamfest founder Rachel Belofsky's Candy Heart Productions, Going to Pieces provides a comprehensive look at the importance, prominence and newfound legitimacy of the horror film genre, specifically "slasher" films. The feature-length documentary contains interviews with pre-eminent actors, directors and producers, special effects masters, composers and experts, many of whom are considered founders and gurus of the genre, including Wes Craven, John Carpenter, Rob Zombie, special effects legend Tom Savini, Stan Winston, Joseph Stefano, and Betsy Palmer, just to name a few. Interspersed in the film are some of the most memorable scenes from classic films of the genre, as well as many current box-office favorites. The documentary is based on the book of the same title by Adam Rockoff.

The feature documentary includes interviews with:
John Carpenter (dir. Halloween)
Wes Craven (dir. The Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes, A Nightmare on Elm Street, the Scream trilogy)

Maybe this will generate some fresh interest in the movies it features and cause a few reshares :wink:

I went ahead and added the rest of the info, this sounds like it will be a very interesting docu, and not a mish mash of classic scenes.
