Guys grab your Doc Martens and bucket hats and lets go. CREATORVC, the creative minds behind the “In Search of Darkness” ’80s horror trilogy and “Aliens Expanded” documentary are back with, In Search of Darkness: 1990-1994, a five-plus-hour documentary featuring brand-new interviews with the greatest line-up of horror icons and experts.
The doc explores the era of horror evolution that was marked by grittier, meta filmmaking, straight-to-video ingenuity, darker villains alongside franchise icons, and the birth of seismic digital-effects – leaving no shortage of terror tales on TV, at the local video store, and on multiplex screens.
Landmark film favorites including Candyman, The Silence of the Lambs, Tremors, Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Wes Craven’s New Nightmare, Stephen King’s IT miniseries, Frankenhooker and Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive are deconstructed, re-contextualized, and revered with a nostalgic, celebratory lens in In Search of Darkness: 1990-1994, which features new interviews with legendary film icons of the ‘90s, side-by-side with genre experts and famous fans – all assembled to reframe a fascinating period in horror history and hold up a cracked mirror to the compelling socio-political issues of the landscape.
