The horror documentary GOING TO PIECES: THE RISE AND FALL OF THE SLASHER FILM will premiere at a special screening this Thursday at the Screamfest Horror Festival at Mann’s Chinese 6 in Los Angeles.

The feature-length original Starz Entertainment production contains interviews with such horror icons as Wes Craven, John Carpenter, and Rob Zombie, as well as prominent actors, producers, and effects creators, along with an array of clips from today’s horror hits and memorable scenes from the classics.

The documentary, which is based on the book of the same name by Adam Rockoff, will kick off a 24-hour horror movie marathon on the Starz cable network on Friday, October 13, and will air several times during the network’s Fear Fest ‘06, which also includes The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Dark Water, Cursed, and more.

The Fear Fest will start up again with a run on the Encore network from October 27-30, along with a 12-hour Halloween day marathon culminating with a back-to-back viewing of The Omen trilogy.
