For fans of slick genre filmmaking on a low-budget, there's plenty of enlightening information and fond reminiscences on this nicely informal track, which feels like a long-overdue reunion between director and stars (even though they all worked together on subsequent sequels). Almost no dead air on this one. One caveat, however: Scrimm, who plays the now-iconic character of The Tall Man, really doesn't talk very much and of all the participants, he's probably the one many fans would like to hear (he does speak a bit in supplemental footage from a convention, though).
