Time to grab your bell bottoms and Afro picks and let’s go. That’s correct the creators of the critically acclaimed, fan-favorite In Search of Darkness horror documentary series, is taking us back to the ’70s horror with the upcoming documentary, In Search of Darkness ’70s.

After tackling the ’80s and the ’90s, the In Search of Darkness documentary series rises again, and this time, we’re reflecting on one of the grittiest, most revolutionary and blockbuster decades of film ever recorded — The ’70s — from the most celebrated, legendary movie titles to the many eclectic, deep cuts waiting to be rediscovered.

 The Exorcist. The Omen. Halloween. Dawn of the Dead. Jaws. Carrie. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. The Amityville Horror. Phantasm. Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Alien... The ’70s were an absolute golden age for horror at the movies, a collective time of cinematic greatness reflected by so many iconic films defining how we look at the genre for decades to come.

Taking on the era’s greatest horror films with CREATORVC’s unique, long-form documentary format, In Search of Darkness ’70s returns to its full-decade, year-by-year format pioneered by our ‘80s trilogy; exploring 1970 through 1979 through lively, exclusive interviews with top filmmakers and actors, celebrity fans, and experts, all sharing candid observations, experiences, and critical analysis to celebrate and re-contextualize this amazing time in horror history.

“I am truly excited to return to my horror roots for In Search of Darkness ’70s, and to once again invite our passionate audience to share their ideas and favorite genre films to help shape our next CREATORVC documentary. Growing up as a Monster Kid in that golden decade, I have so many formative memories of watching horror movies and late-night creature features on the big and small screen, fueled by the broadcast premieres of The Exorcist, The Omen, Carrie, and Salem’s Lot that my parents somehow allowed me to watch. What were they thinking? I can’t wait to share my nostalgia for the decade combined with a fresh re-contextualization of this amazing time in horror history,” said David Weiner, writer/director.
