Horror fans can rejoice as the popular documentary series, In Search of Darkness, is making a comeback. This time, the production team is setting its sights on the '90s, specifically the years between 1990 and 1994. The new installment is a follow-up to the successful '80s horror documentary trilogy from CREATORVC, and the team is leaving no stone unturned in its quest to deliver a comprehensive and entertaining documentary.
To ensure that horror fans have a voice in the production process, the team sought input from fans through an online survey. The survey aimed to gather insights, questions, and preferences from fans, and the response was overwhelming. The survey window closed on September 1st, so fans had to act fast to give their input.
David Weiner, the writer and director of In Search of Darkness: 1990-1994, had a clear reason for choosing this project. He believes that the '90s were a decade of transition for horror, and that there is more imagination and envelope-pushing during this time than many people realize. Weiner is excited to explore this "lost" decade with the same celebratory lens as his '80s trilogy, and with the participation of favorite '90s horror screen legends.
The trailer for the new installment features an impressive lineup of iconic titles, including everything from "gateway horror" to franchise behemoths. Horror fans can expect to see the direct-to-video trend as an extension of the '80s practical-effects flicks, along with changes on the big screen, such as darker socio-political subject matter, meta play, and fresh injections of neato morph effects and awkward CGI baby steps.
All signs suggest that the new installment of In Search of Darkness will be an exciting and comprehensive journey for horror fans. From the input of fans to the inclusion of favorite '90s horror screen legends, it's clear that the production team is committed to delivering a documentary that will satisfy even the most discerning horror fans. We can't wait to see what else it has in store.
