    • Trivia
      The official teaser trailer of "Forgotten Scares: An In-depth Look at Flemish Horror Cinema" shows footage of Rob Van Eyck's thriller "Blue Belgium" (2000). This controversial film was originally included in the documentary, but was dropped in the editing because the running-time became too long.
    • Quotes

      Jan Verheyen: I think 'horror' is a genre, just like the musical or the western... This is not Flemish!

    • Alternate versions
      The work-print (with a running time of 126 minutes) was screened as a 'test-screening' at the Stuff Film Festival Mexico, and features several additional footage and interviews not included in the wide release. The segments about "De Terugtocht", "Blue Belgium" and "Vampires" were cut, because the documentary became too long. These segments will be part of the DVD.

    Fascinating look inside the world of forgotten Belgian Horror Films.
    When Steve De Roover saw an injustice in the Belgian media reporting that a film made in 2015 was the first Belgian Horror Film, he knew he had to set the record straight. Recalling classics from renowned directors from his childhood, he set out to bring to light the masterpieces that were clearly being overlooked and forgotten. A fascinating look into the trials and tribulations of Belgian Horror Film-making, as well as the amazing victories. Steve takes you on a journey and inspires you to recall some of the films you may have forgotten yourself. His passion for horror and history is evident from the first scene until the last.
