Documentaries about horror/ thriller movies are indeed my favorite subjects. I liked the selections this movie gave out. Donald Pleasance(1920-95) and Nancy Allen did a great job explaining the causes and effects of a thriller. Mr. Pleasance from the "Halloween"... Full review

Having Donald Pleasence and Nancy Allen host this clip show is probably the best idea the producers had. The only real parts I enjoyed were when one of these two appeared on screen (sitting with other terrified moviegoers), talking about... Full review
"Terror in the Aisles" is, I think, mainly for horror completists.

"Terror in the Aisles" is a compilation of scenes taken from dozens of horror movies, action movies, and thrillers - basically, any kind of film designed for the purpose of keeping an audience on the edge of their seats. Donald... Full review

Terror in the aisles came out when I was about 5 years old. Now if you have read my past movie reviews, one of them says that I first started viewing horror movies when I was 2 or 3 years... Full review

TERROR IN THE AISLES is a very entertaining movie. You can't help but watch the series of clips thrown at ya from beginning to end. Unfortunately, the whole thing is a head scratcher. TERROR IN THE AISLES almost looks like... Full review

This documentary shows some of the best moments mainly from 70's and early 80's horror movies. Donald Pleasance was a perfect choice for a host. Its really fun to guess and point out which scene came from what movie. Highly... Full review

Rather pointless but also quite entertaining compilation of clips from famous (pre-1984) horror films. Many of the complaints that others have expressed about this film are valid (unnecessary "narration", too much footage from "Halloween II", some odd selections of sources... Full review

Terror in the Aisles is a roller coaster ride through the most terrifying moments from over seventy of Hollywood's greatest box office chillers.
Everything's straight from the original releases - the terror, the shocks, the corpses, and the outrageous special effects, definitely not for the faint-hearted.

Terror in the Aisles" is not great because it's original or informative.
The downside to all this professionalism and style is that the spell it puts you under gets exponentially weaker as it plods along, culminating as a very bad music video set to an ever worse 80's pop song.
