Lost Decade? Think Again!
The ’90s was a much more exciting time for horror filmmaking than many people may remember, boasting an abundance of creative visions, vibrant approaches, and insane, memorable entries.
Directed by David Weiner (In Search of Darkness: I-III), In Search of Darkness 1990-1994 is a fun and energetic exploration of the first half of this “lost decade,” where filmmakers lined up ’80s horror icons alongside new, darker villains, as well as capitalizing on burgeoning, cutting-edge CGI effects.
By focusing on just a five year period we can celebrate everything from mainstream studio Horror classics to straight-to-video titles shot on a shoestring budget.
In Search of Darkness: 1990-1994 is packed with new stories and insights into the films you love from the legends that made them. Here are just a few of our favorite segments:
Terror on TV - Gilbert Adler (Producer, Tales From The Crypt & Freddy's Nightmares) and Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep) reminisce over the abundance of great horror TV in the ’90s while Tommy Lee Wallace (Stephen King’s It) and Mick Garris (The Stand) tell tales from their respective Stephen King miniseries.
The Emergence of CGI & AI Fears - Our contributors, including John Carpenter (Director, In The Mouth of Madness), Heather Langenkamp (Actor, Wes Craven’s New Nightmare), and Alex Winter (Actor, Freaked) cast judgment on the explosion of CGI in the early ’90s and future advancements in AI that may replace actors.
Trash Horror - We celebrate the many DIY, shot-on-video, and straight-to-video Horror movies in the ’90s, with contributions from David Dastmalchian (Actor, Late Night with the Devil), Annie Choi (Author, Bleeding Skull!), Jörg Buttgereit (Director, Nekromantik 2), and more.
Horror Villains: The New Blood - Our cast, including Bernard Rose (Director, Candyman), Robert Kurtzman (SFX, Misery), Doug Bradley (Actor, Hellraiser franchise), examine how movies such as Misery, Candyman, and Silence of the Lambs saw new villains emerge to contend with franchise favorites.
