[@ferociousgumby]

But where is Part 2?

[@alanwakeish]

It's a shame that they didn't make a fourth part, they could delved into 80's horror, with movies like, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Thing, An American Werewolf In London, The Evil Dead parts 1 & 2, The Shining, Poltergeist, Re-Animator and many others.

[@doublediamond9226]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Mark returned with a follow documentary to these initial 3. He obviously loves the genre.

[@tombates9122]

Although I would love to see it, I get the impression he is not a big fan of the 80's movies. I think they are what he was referring to when talking about the bland immitators of Halloween.

[@madamepampadour]

Good he remembered Bava, but Dario Argento was missing. But as he said, it was a personal selection. And I would add Invasion of the Body Snatchers, 1978 version.

[@jacobyrassilon]

I wonder what he thinks of the re-telling of "The Haunting of Hill House" on Netflix? It sounds like it's right up his alley.

[@sam21462]

I absolutely agree and I was a bit unimpressed by his summation where he seemed very dismissive of things made after the period he covered. He could not be more incorrect as your quite excellent list makes obvious. I think horror is was and will probably always be one of the main routes taken by young talent on both sides of the camera. You end up with lots of great stuff from any era and, in fairness, tons of crap. The cream does rise to the top, however, and it can be quite tasty.

They need to do another, 80's was great for Horror.

[@glamdolly30]

Gatiss is such a natural interviewer - very relaxed while remaining totally on top of his subject, his knowledge matches his enthusiasm. I'd love to see him do more factual shows - someone has commented here he has a new series coming up on the BBC about Dracula. Can't wait!

[@dionlindsay2]

You're right, he's a great interviewer. But his narration gets a bit tedious after a while - for me it's a bit too stagey, as if it's all scripted and elaborate. But he does speak with such authority, a bit like he's a horror character but off duty! I do like a lot of his script writing and acting though - brilliant!

[@glamdolly30]

@@dionlindsay2 I understand where you're coming from. I only hope success isn't going to his once modest head - I recently watched an interview with him in which he seemed too pleased with himself by half! But he's undoubtedly a great talent.

[@DuncanOwnhouse]

Comprehensive and entertaining.Most fan documentaries are usually self-serving and biased,but thanks to Gatiss this one bucks those odds.The comment that struck me most is when he says that after the 70's,American horror makers didn't really go further to create another golden age.So true!Sequels and remakes are now the blood feast of the day.Most of the films are good-looking,but distressingly routine in personal style and have absolutely nothing interesting to say.Major studios,too,have to carry the blame.No one wants to try anything new.What a waste of a great genre!Anyway,three cheers ti Mark Gatiss!Long live Dr.Who!

Love the segment on The Exorcist and the 'altar boy' scene. So true. It's one of the creepiest moments in cinema and the kind of scene that keeps you up at night, not because of some monstrous creature or blood and guts, but the simple idea it plants in your mind. It gets under your skin and makes you uncomfortable about every day life. i couldn't ask more from any kind of horror story.

[@ThreadBomb]

The Exorcist doesn't work for me because it is so Catholic. If you don't buy the specific theology they are pushing, the stuff that's supposed to be horrific is just silly and mundane.

[@DandyLion662a]

@Thread - Well I'm an atheist, have been since I was a kid and not brought up in a Catholic household. Nevertheless, it scared the bejezus out of me.

So I've been sitting watching all three parts of this documentary, and about the time I got to this third part I decided I was hungry. "Better go get something to eat," I said to myself. So I go get something, sit back down and start to eat, continuing the video. And then, bam, Cronenberg! Thanks for that. Thanks so much.

I have been laid up with a bad. Back today, ongoing problem which is usually controllable. But I found, by accident, your gem of a small series about horror films ... Binged watched all four episodes. Loved every minute of it, but most off all your commentary and wit. The selection chosen for the programmes was, in my opinion, excellent. I too as a youngster (10- 11ish) loved watching late night horror films with my mum and nan. Your programme brought back memories of both of them as they are deceased. Thank you for sharing your love of horror films (like you I am not so keen on some of the newer ones!). I really like your work on TV - not seen everything but try my best. Thank you for the series once again but also for you body of work. Love.and gratitude for hours of good quality viewing.

Thank you for posting this! Mark Gatiss has been a horror fan for his whole life, and I really love his enthusiasm for the subject, and the respect (and humor) he has in his interviews with the creators. Of course, everyone has a favorite film that may not be mentioned, but with time constraints over the 3 eras, I think they did a superb job.

[@neilpower60]

Harvey Stevens, Damian in the Omen wasn't meant to laugh at the end, he got the giggles and they kept it in

Constantly reminded by this that the directors who have made some of the most terrifying, gruesome and shocking horror films are frequently among the most genial folks away from the set.

[@lLadyAszneth]

Mr.Gatiss, I am sad that I didn't see this sooner. Please thank, however, young Mr. Molony aka "Lord Henry Yorke" and your "Mr. Snow." If it wasn't for Damien mentioning that he'd watched THIS horror special of yours, I may never have found it. It was a thrill and I was glad to know that you and I being of the same generation led to my mutual love for certain classics that you venerated here. Also, your menacing Mr. Snow was an incredible and deliciously evil delight that was equally thrilling. So thank you. 1,000 times, thank you! 😘😘

[@renaissancepoet]

What an excellent trilogy! It's such a shame I just discovered these because my tastes in horror films are so much like yours. In 1971, I was 8 years old, and Creature Features hosted by Bob Wilkins premiered here in the San Francisco Bay Area, and every Saturday night I would be introduced to the world of horror and sci-fi films. Universal, Hammer, and American International were my favorites. Like you; except for a few really good films, horror movies started to lose their attraction for me. I'm still a horror fan, but I really hate how horror movies have become more like action-adventure films reliant on CGI that are not really scary. Anyway... I really enjoyed these three specials. Such a great walk down memory lane.

[@dancole5795]

Really enjoyed these. Mr. Gatiss' enjoyment of these films is infectious. It makes me want to see some films that I would normally not seek out. I agree with him completely about the current crop of horror films, but as he said, it's partly an age thing & I'm 3 years older than he is. My one quibble would be some of the things he glossed over. He had THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA in there, but what about some of the earlier silents like NOSFERATU & THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI. Also, the giant bug films of the '50s (THEM!, TARANTULA) & Japanese Kaiju films. They seem like legit trends of their own. Maybe he just never got into those. like I said, just nitpicking.

[@andrewtongue7084]

Excellent trilogy, chronicling the horror genre. I have to agree with Mr Gatiss, after the initial 'Halloween' outing, the subsequent (& numerous) episodic adjuncts, left me cold (sic), ergo, bored to tears, & it is the self-same fault - of trying to emulate such classics - that all else following, died a death - I've absolutely no interest in gore for gore's sake - not only is it tiresome, but also appears to be less realistic. In truth, I prefer those films & stories that hold a psychological edge - the unfettered auto-suggestive (& subliminal) - that scares more individuals than any axe-wielding psychopathic rampage. Well done, BBC Four !!

[@TheCarnivalguy]

Webster's defines horror as painful and intense fear, dread, or dismay. I experienced all three in great quantities when I first saw Ridley Scott's masterpiece "Alien" in 1979 at the age of 20. I know some would argue the film belongs in the science fiction category, but it fulfills the definition of horror in many ways. As a lifelong fan of horror, fantasy, and science fiction, I would rank Alien, along with The Omen, The Haunting, The Exorcist, and Curse of the Demon at the top of my personal list of great horror films. What can I say? I love to be frightened and have those chills go up and down my spine. lol
