The UnderH2O film team dives to a depth of 100 feet to document this fully intact piece of history. Join us and be amazed. (via PBS Digital Studios)

Mel Brooks’s Hollywood Horror is no different. He even tracks down the original equipment from the mad doctor’s lab first used in the 1931 Frankenstein film. Learn more about the art of the Brooks homage (or, to spoof with accuracy) from American Masters | PBS http://to.pbs.org/11OtyQa
  
  “Mel Brooks: Make a Noise” premieres tomorrow night at 9/8c on PBS
