Take a Journey Into '80s Iconic Horror Films in Trailer for IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS
Like many of you, I grew up watching the incredible horror films of the ‘80s. There are so many horror movies from that era that have stuck with me throughout my life. There’s something about those films, a spirit to them that Hollywood has not really been able to replicate. They are a product of their time, and there’s a new documentary coming out called In Search of Darkness that pays tribute to these films and the fandom.
The doc is said to be the "definitive 80s horror documentary" that’s "bringing the Horror community together to celebrate the most iconic era in cinema history."
The film was directed by journalist and cinephile David A. Weiner, and it explores the '80s horror movies through the perspective of the actors, directors, producers, and SFX teams who brought them to life. It also explores the impact that these movies had on cinema.
"Hearts pounding, palms sweaty, muscles tense; that thrill of creeping dread was matched only by the satisfaction of knowing the person in the next seat was even more terrified." For the first time in Horror history, In Search of Darkness is bringing together ‘80s icons, modern horror greats, and popular horror influencers to create the most complete retrospective documentary of the genre ever made. Featuring 40+ interviews filmed and more than 100 hours of incredible material.
Some of the people who were interviewed for the doc include Keith David, Joe Dante, Heather Langenkamp, Jeffrey Combs, Barbara Crampton, Greg Nicotero, Bill Moseley, Kane Hodder, Sean S. Cunningham, and more.
Watch the trailer and let us know if this is a doc you’ll be checking out.
