100 YEARS OF HORROR is a 26-episode TV series made in 1996 and featuring the delightful Christopher Lee as host, his sonorous narration exploring the history of horror cinema in the 20th century. Each themed episode contains plentiful clips from the films mentioned along with brief interview footage seemingly culled from other documentaries as well as TV shows and the like.
Unsurprisingly, this penultimate episode of the series looks at both giant creatures and little people in a diverse array of mainly classic horror and science fiction movies. Films featured include the real oldies like THE DEVIL-DOLL and DOCTOR CYCLOPS, although the emphasis is on the great 1950s films like WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST and Matheson's inimitable classic THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN. There isn't as much interview footage accompanying the clips here, but the breadth of movies covered make up for that deficiency.
