We've had Hereditary, Get Out, Sinners and Weapons so it frustrates me that horror films are still seen as "less than" & must be seen as "more than just". Having seen Frankenstein (which I really enjoyed) it's a fucking horror film and there's nothing wrong with that

Everyone involved sees it as much more than that.

Remember, if you enjoy life half as much as Vincent Price must have, you're doing okay.

This documentary is a perfect accompaniment to Midnight of the Century, focusing on horror films from the mid to late '90s. Covers many of the inspirations for my serial killer investigation #TTRPG!

The In Search of Darkness series is an awesome watch for horror fans.
