Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film

Executive Producer Michael Ruggerio had previously worked on The American Nightmare (2000), one of the documentaries that inspired Going To Pieces. He always said he wanted to do a sequel about the Slasher movies of the 1980's. He happened to be good friends with author Adam Rockoff. After producer Rudy Scalese optioned the book rights to Going to Pieces and befriended Adam Rockoff, Adam made an introduction to Ruggerio who was now an executive at STARZ and championed the documentary to be made.
