'It's Only a Movie' Documentary?

I've yet to see this film, even though I loved the remake, because this version seems way more intense, and I must admit I'm a little apprehensive. However, I love behind-the-scenes features and documentaries, especially for horror, and I'd be interested in checking this film out if I could get my hands on a good documentary or commentary.

I read on Wikipedia that there was a feature called "It's Only a Movie" on the 30th Anniversary DVD, which I'd like to see, but I can't seem to find a 30th anniversary DVD anywhere. Does anyone know where I can see this?

I actually have that on tape.... the movie and that documentary.
My son gave it to me about 5 years ago. I think he taped it off HBO or one of the other movie channels. Have you looked on line? Perhaps you could check with a movie rental store in your area. Our Family Video often finds hard to find films for me and orders them. I wouldn't be surprised if you could find the documentary on Youtube. Good luck.

I actually found a DVD of the movie at a sale this week, and there was a short documentary called "The Celluloid Crime of the Century" that included some good interviews from most of the cast members. There was also a longer interview with Wes Craven about the film's lasting impact.

I've yet to find "It's Only a Movie" on Youtube, but I'm going to keep trying! I'd really like to see it. Thanks for your suggestions!

I think the documentary is also on the recent release of the dvd, I found my copy in the 5$ bin at Walmart, just be sure to check the cast list because the dvd uses the same cover as the remakes, which sucks, that's about the only downside though, the special features disc is awesome!
