Documentaries about horror movies are some of my favourite things to watch. Over ten years ago I watched the brilliant Zombie Girl: The Movie, the story of a twelve-year-old Emily Hagins making a zombie movie.

This documentary follows two friends with Down’s Syndrome, Sam and Mattie, who rally an entire town and more to help them make the zombie movie of their dreams – Spring Break Zombie Massacre.
The documentary is done in two parts. The first shows the process of how the idea of the movie came about, how they promoted...
