Child murderer. Dream demon. The bastard son of a hundred maniacs.

Go deeper into the boiler room than ever before to explore the origins of the groundbreaking first film, the secrets behind the entire franchise’s blockbuster status and, finally, understand the impact the series and its mythos have had on modern culture and cinema. Featuring over one hundred interviews with cast and crew spanning all eight films, never-before-seen photographs, storyboards, conceptual art, publicity materials and archival documents, this cleverly-crafted, comprehensive look back is the definitive account of what many have called the best, most frightening and imaginative horror franchise in motion picture history.
