The Horror of It All (1983)
All time favorite
Favorite documentary of all time. Includes scenes from the famous Long Branch Haunted Mansion.The Mansion was a three story Haunted Attraction in the 70's and 80's that burned down in 1987.It has a huge fan base,so this documentary's rare scenes of it's interior and exterior are widely sought out. I watched it so much my VHS tape fell apart.Luckily I had a duplicate that I found in my parents attic. The Horror of it All contains some of the view points of classic actors and directors who are no longer with us. Including Titanic's Gloria Stewart who talks about Boris Karloff in The Old Dark House.I believe the same company that produced this also made a great documentary on Bela Lugosi and which was narrated by the great Forrest Ackerman.
Sea of Dust (2008)
I Love Sea of Dust!
I loved Sea of Dust! A wild, unpredictable,film with the Legendary Tom Savini and Ingrid Pitt,how can you go wrong? Though my favorite villain was Pete Barker as Chalmers the mad butler.He reminded me of Phantasm's Tall Man. Sea of Dust might have had some political messages,but they went completely over my head.I was too busy enjoying it as a trippy nightmare set in the 1800's. Speaking of which,the locations were awesome.Their real historic locations look much better that the CGI backgrounds that saturated the recent "Wolfman" movie(which made me feel like I was watching someone play a video game for two hours). Prester John reminded me of Lovecraft's Nyarlathotep.A crazed entity from beyond, out to devour our reality,taking the form of a Medieval heroic figure. Judging from the Necronomicon-like grimoire that held Prestor's secrets, He may have actually been one of Lovecraft's Yog-Sothery.
