Six Reels Under is a continuation of David Del Valle's first collection of offbeat Hollywood adventures, Lost Horizons Beneath the Hollywood Sign, this time around targeting the films and personalities that influenced a generarion of Baby Boomers.

The golden age of drive-in cult classic cinema is also well represented with excursions into cult classics such as Herk Harvey's Carnival of Souls, Curtis Harrington's Night Tide and Mario Bava's Black Sunday.
