CREATORVC, the makers of the acclaimed “In Search of Darkness” horror documentary series, have announced the next release in the franchise with “In Search of Darkness: 1995 -1999.” The next installment in the series will be available for pre-order through June 9, 2025, exclusively at 90shorrordoc.com.
Following 2024’s critically acclaimed, Rondo Award-nominated “In Search of Darkness: 1990-1994,” the all-new “In Search of Darkness: 1995 -1999” will journey into iconic late-’90s horror to deconstruct, re-contextualize, and reframe some of the biggest horror movies of the late ’90s.
“In the years between 1995 and 1999, horror films collectively found their footing for changing audience tastes,” says writer/director David Weiner. “The meta-fueled ‘Scream’ dominated the box office, ushering in a new wave of teen-centric horror that invaded multiplexes and flew off Blockbuster Video shelves, while J-Horror snuck in with the cult power of ‘Ring,’ ‘Se7en’s’ style influenced a legion of filmmakers, and ‘The Blair Witch Project’ found-footage phenomenon changed Hollywood. It was an exciting time for horror movie fans, and the new ‘In Search of Darkness: 1995-1999’ captures that lightning-in-a-bottle era with its signature lens of context, celebration, and nostalgia. Dare I say it, but this newest ‘In Search of Darkness’ documentary may very well be the best in the series yet.”
Like past entries in the series, “In Search of Darkness: 1995 -1999” will feature exclusive interviews and will be reuniting key talent from “In Search of Darkness: 1990-1994,” like John Carpenter, Doug Bradley, Mike Flanagan, Akela Cooper, Charles Band, and Don Mancini, with a brand-new cast including “The Blair Witch Project” co-director Eduardo Sánchez, “Event Horizon” director Paul W.S. Anderson, Rusty Cundieff (“Tales from the Hood”), Andrew Divoff (“Wishmaster”), Corbin Bernsen (“The Dentist”), Emily Bergl (“The Rage: Carrie 2”), Steven Weber (“The Shining” miniseries), “Scream” composer Marco Beltrami—and many more to be announced—all sharing candid observations, experiences, and analysis of the era with the signature celebratory and insightful lens the “In Search of Darkness” documentary series has come to be known for.
