I’m about to be THAT person. You can’t really call yourself a horror fanatic if you haven’t sat through all 15 hours of IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS, the ultimate three-part horror documentary made by fans for the fans. The 2019 thesis of love honoring 80s horror severed into a trilogy, thus completing its finale in 2022 gives all fans of the genre the nostalgia of looking back on the decade’s greatest, most underrated, and hidden gems of what many would consider, the golden years of gore and horror. So what comes next?

Well, the 90s of course! The 90s, for some reason, and I’ve been saying this for years, have gotten a lot of shit for not living up to its monumental surgence of horror films the decade prior- and I feel that’s a bit unfair. Although, I’m glad to see someone else agrees with me! After all, how are you gonna crap on a decade that gave us Hannibal Lector, Candyman, and grand ol’ Dolly Dearest!

Per the press release:

The early ‘90s proved to be a tough transition time for horror films in the wake of an overabundance of genre output in the ‘80s. Horror was in search of a new identity. Some call it a “lost decade” of horror. We disagree. This was an exciting time for filmmaking that we cannot wait to explore in In Search of Darkness: 1990 -1994, the first part of two planned long-form documentaries exploring the pivotal final decade of the 20th century.

Following the success of the 80s installment, writer and director David Weiner is going balls to the wall diving into the 90s decade of horror in the same fashion as its 80s counterpart:

“After such a positive critical and fan response to our In Search of Darkness ‘80s trilogy, I am excited to dive into In Search of Darkness: 1990 -1994. The ‘90s was a decade of
transition for horror, yet there is so much more creativity and imagination on display upon a closer look. With so many memorable genre films, miniseries, TV shows and
topics of discussion available to tackle, I welcome constructive input from our vocal horror community to help spotlight the things that they are most excited to see in our
documentary, which will be presented on-screen through interviews, clips and motion graphics with the same spirit and celebration on display in our ‘80s trilogy.”
