The documentary features candid interviews with Argento and various stars from films he has directed, as well as extensive clips and behind the scenes footage of his films. Because most of Argento's films at the time were only available at the time in heavily edited form, "Dario Argento's World of Horror" was sought after by many fans of the director's work due to the fact that it contained numerous clips of footage removed from Argento's films, most notably the opening double murder sequence from "Suspiria".
