    Informative fun revealing doc about a horror comedy cult classic!
    One of my favorite films as a kid growing up was 1986's "House" as I spent a whole summer watching it numerous times on Cinemax. With this doc "Ding Dong, You're Dead! The Making of House" is a must see for any fan of the film or history film buff. It looks at the making and behind the scenes production and the creation of the art work and how the monsters were crafted and built. Interviewed were creator and producer Sean S. Cunningham, director Steve Miner both "Friday the 13th" alums. And the story and paths were told of cast members William Katt('Greatest American Hero") Kay Lenz, and lovable "Cheers" guy George Wendt thru interviews. Also stunts were broken down in detail with Kane Hodder and music composer Harry Manfredini, told how to blend sound with scenes plus told is about the movies impact and success and how it became a cult film that has tested the times and lasted for the fans taste. Well worth a watch for any fan of the film.
