In Search of Darkness: 1995-1999

Directed by David Weiner and picking up where In Search of Darkness: 1990-1994 left off, our next installment dives enthusiastically into late ’90s Horror using the same format: spotlighting movies year-by-year with larger-context chapters in between covering everything from mainstream favourites to lesser-known straight-to-video classics.

Here are just a few of our favorite sections:

The Meta Movement Dissected - Our cast explores how self-referential horror reshaped the genre and defined the period, examining everything from the game-changing Scream to the snarky subversion of Bride of Chucky, and how horror's newfound self-awareness created a generation of fans who were finally in on the bloody joke.

The Teen Horror Revolution - We discuss how Kevin Williamson sparked a renaissance that dominated the late '90s box office as big-budget corporate Hollywood cashed-in on the rebirth of teen horror. These weren't just repackaged tropes – films like The Craft and I Know What You Did Last Summer created a cultural phenomenon that transcended the screen, if only for a short time.

J-Horror's Western Invasion - The late ’90s saw a string of Japanese horror masterpieces like Ring and Audition infiltrate Western consciousness through word-of-mouth long before Hollywood took notice. Our experts discuss these movies, Hollywood’s reaction, and why these unsettling innovations still influence filmmakers today.

Millennium Anxiety & Digital Dread - Filmmakers channelled Y2K paranoia and emerging tech fears into enduring classics. From The Matrix's digital dystopia to End of Days' apocalyptic vision, these weren't just films - they were cultural artefacts that reflected our collective anxieties and helped us deal with them.

Shipping & Fulfillment

Shipping: Shipping is charged at the point of fulfillment at cost (your shipping cost will be the price we pay and we will not make profit on it). In the current economic climate, shipping costs are fluctuating and hard to predict. Delaying payment for shipping benefits both sides as we avoid overcharging (bad for you) and undercharging (bad for our documentary budget).

We expect shipping prices to be $12 for domestic (US), $20 for international orders without a t-shirt, and $25 for international orders with a t-shirt.

Fulfillment: Our physical rewards will be manufactured and shipped from California by a trusted partner who we have previously worked with. Blu-rays are factory pressed and manufactured to the highest standard possible (the same standard as AAA releases). Our items are sent in very study packaging (posters rolled, not folded) to ensure everything arrives with you safely.

Soundtrack

We’ve partnered with our friends at New Retro Wave to curate our official soundtrack! Your order includes a digital version of the soundtrack plus the stunning score by Dream Invaders!
