You might not know it, but many classic 70s and 80s horror films are Canadian made. And made because of the Canadian Government's tax incentive program that ran from 1975 to 1982. Which ones, you ask? Try Shivers, Black Christmas, Terror Train, My Bloody Valentine, Prom Night, Visiting Hours, Scanners... the list goes on and on. All classic films from my youth. Created and co-directed by Deke Richards, Tax Shelter Terrors explores the history of the tax-shelter program and the films it spawned, interviewing many genre veterans.

I'm making it sound like the original is some sort of horror classic which I should say right off the bat that it isn't. It's not even a particular good movie within the " slasher genre" of horror but it's enjoyable for what it is, I guess, no more and no less. The late 70's and early 80...
