How do you weave in kind of the predominance of VHS culture at the time? Because that, you know, kind of feels like it would be ubiquitous across everything and how, you know, there was a saturation of horror because the VHS market emerged.

Michael GingoldGUEST
Well, we talk a little bit about that in the shot on video grassroots segment.

Michael GingoldGUEST
I decided that there are a couple of things I thought have been covered so much in other docs that it doesn't really figure in here.

Michael GingoldGUEST
Because it's really more about the films themselves and the fun of them and going through as many individual titles.

Michael GingoldGUEST
And so to kind of talk about the video store phenomenon and everything, there's no real way to kind of weave that into it because it's really kind of a category by category study.

I, uh, I, I cannot say I'm a fan of Dr. Giggles and, uh, it actually was, was not a success at all.

Michael GingoldGUEST
When it came out, it kind of, it came out right after candy man and candy man kind of wiped the floor with it at the box office.

Michael GingoldGUEST
Um, But that script was originally, and first of all, to correct something, as usual, Wikipedia is wrong about.

Michael GingoldGUEST
It was produced by Dark Horse Films, which was an offshoot of Dark Horse Comics.
