Terror in the Aisles

IT'S ONLY A MOVIE!!!!
These four words uttered by the late Mr. Pleasance are enough to begin the tour-de-force gallery of some of the most exalted pieces of 20th Century cinematic horror in "Terror In The Aisles". I remember seeing this pic on television many years ago, and I've never had any luck finding a VHS copy to purchase until now! Clips of everything from Hitchcock to Carpenter...from the Wolf Man to Michael Myers...from "Psycho" to "Texas Chainsaw" are compiled in their sheer terror form, coupled with Pleasance and Allen's commentaries. A film like this definitely screams for a sequel dedicated to all of the post-1984 thrillers we've all come to enjoy!

Thoroughly Entertaining!!!!!
I recently came across Terror in the Aisles in my local video store and rented it thinking it was a different movie. What I got was an awesome compilation of some of the older, classic horror films.

Terror in the Aisles is hosted by the Late Great Donald Pleasance and Nancy Allen. They take us through over 70 horror flicks in just under 90 minutes. Some of these movies include, Halloween, Jaws, Friday the 13th, Psycho, Carrie, The Exorcist, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, just to name a few. Also, there is a brief appearance by, the master of suspense himself, Alfred Hitchcock. There were also a few movies which I have not seen that look particulary interesting such as, When a Stranger Calls and Nighthawks.

If your a fan of horror movies then you must see Terror in the Aisles it's well worth a look.

Horror 101
You cannot consider yourself a true horror buff if you do not own this piece of cinematic history. Donald Pleasance & Nancy Allen take us through some of the most memorable scenes of horror films (from B&W's up until 1983), while explaining the subtle geniuses behind them. There's more to macabre movies than meets the eye. Demon children, manmade monstrosities, serial killers... We are in love w/horror in all forms and this film takes a fascinating look at the relationship between horror, entertainment and the psychological need we have to scare ourselves.
