It's like That's Entertainment, but with a body count.
Most of the clips are from Universal Studios movies, with extra attention paid to Halloween, Psycho, and, for some unknowable reason, the thrillers Vice Squad and Sylvester Stallone's Nighthawks.
It's great background noise for a mindless evening, since it's a lot of screaming and running, with the occasional montage of doors slamming or killers stabbing.
There's lots of "thoughtful" commentary that just serves to set up a new sequence of clips, but Pleasence does ask a good question- why do people like horror films?- and offers the beginning of an answer: "Perhaps we create artificial horrors to help us to cope with the real ones."
Looking at the recent news and that sounds as good a theory as any.
