Dagasm

I make it a point to annually view this miniseries. If you're someone that's watched this and thought uh why did they do that, or what happened there seemed completely dumb or unnecessary, then you're not a Marine and just won't get it. I first saw this series as a civilian. I thought it was very entertaining, but viewing it after having my Marine Corps experience took it to a whole new level. The dialogue, personalities, random nonsensical happenings and general wtf situations are very true to the Corps. Many people I've served with parallel the characters here (especially Cpl Person, for better or worse, ha), and that's part of the charm of it. It's like being with the guys again. Bottom line, a great series, and even better if you've been there, done that.

Just tons and tons of horror thrown at me. I loved it. Interviews with directors, actors, practical FX artists, horror hosts, and lovers of the genre. I liked the format as well. They showcased several films per year as well as topics such as exploitation in horror.

I've only really been into the horror scene the last few years and have mainly stuck to the more well known movies so there were a number of films highlighted that I've yet to see. That alone was a treasure to me. I now have a checklist. :) For a 4 1/2 hour documentary, time flew by.

As for negatives, I thought they spent a little too much time on certain series, such as A Nightmare on Elm Street, but they are talking 80s horror. Also, it would have been great to see more key actors and crew. For example, a lot was said about Tom Savini's work yet he's not an interviewee. Budget, scheduling, and the willingness of the individuals could have all played a part in who participated though.
