Shake, Rattle and Roll, probably the longest and successful film series in the history of Philippines cinema, debuted and premiered in 1984 under Athena Productions. The movie,megged by veteran directors, Emmanuel Borlaza, Ishmael Bernal and Peque Gallaga, consisted of three episodes, Baso, Pridyider and Manananggal. It came to mind the 60s Pinoy horror classics, i.e. Gabi ng Lagim, Katotohanan o Guniguni?,Konsiyerto ng Kamatayan, Mga Daing sa Libingan, Mga Alamat ng Sandaigdig and Kababalaghan at Kabalustugan?, all consisting with 4 episodes.
SRR was revived after six years, under Regal Films in 1990, considered by fans as one of the best SRR movies, especially its third episode titled Aswang starring Manilyn Reynes.
