This short film does a fine job discussing the making of Dark Night of the Scarecrow. It brings together pretty much everyone who is still around to talk about their memories. There are some interesting facts, although I found that listening to the audio commentary with the writer and director gave me more information. One aspect that I wish they had addressed more was the reception of the film at the time of its airing. The do briefly mention the cult following that the movie has, which the filmmakers say they only recently became aware of, but I would like to know more about the viewer response back in 1981. Regardless, this was a must see for me considering this is one of my favorite horror movies of all time.
