From the birth of the collection's concept – it goes back to 6-year-old David discovering Denis Gifford's 'A Pictorial History of Horror Movies' – through the sleuthing, archaeology, genealogy, restoration, curation, production, post-production, new music, massive book editing, challenging packaging and other macabre quandaries that brought the entire Severin Team to the brink of sanity.
