Many young filmmakers planning their first movie often choose to make a horror film adventure. Such movies include special effects, action, and all those frightening things that making a film fun.

DIVA's master of the horror film genre, Henry Weintraub, explores The Making of Devil?s Rejects, a documentary about the 30 day production schedule for the film by Rob Zombie.

The documentary is ranked among the best ever created for DVD release.

Part 1 begins with pre-production including: scripting, casting, make-up tests, location scouting, costume design, set design, table reads, storyboards (lack thereof)? right up to the first day of shooting.

Part 2 details the first six days of shooting.

Part 3 takes the viewer through days seven to 14 and includes the final ?Free Bird? sequence, the chicken ranch murders, events at Spaulding?s house and the Sheriff?s station and the cut Dr. Satan scene.

Part 4 covers the opening shoot out and all events at the Firefly house from days 15 to 21.

Part 5 covers the last 9 days of shooting, which focuses mainly on the events at Charlie?s Frontier Fun Town, and ends with Rob and everyone saying thanks and farewell. There is no post-production coverage in this documentary.

Given the graphic nature of horror films know there may be a fright or two resulting from all the fake gore used in this film. There is much to learn and appreciate about this type of filmmaking.
