CREATORVC is headed back to the decade that defined modern terror. The award-winning creators behind the definitive horror documentary series “In Search of Darkness” have officially launched pre-orders for their next installment: “In Search of Darkness ’70s.”
This deep-dive journey back to the golden era of horror cinema is available for pre-order now through July 1, 2026, exclusively at InSearchofDarkness.com.
The visionary team of writer/director David Weiner and executive producer Robin Block have set their sights on a revolutionary, highly influential decade. This is the era that introduced the world to to iconic films “The Exorcist,” “The Omen,” “Halloween,” “Dawn of the Dead,” “Jaws,” “Carrie,” “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre,” “Suspiria,” “Phantasm,” and “Alien,”—spawning unmatched creativity and defining the genre for the next 50 years.
“I’m absolutely thrilled to be revisiting the most formative decade in my life for the newest In Search of Darkness documentary,” said Weiner. “Growing up as a kid in the ’70s, I was exposed to all sorts of monster movies, creature features, and straight-out horror on our wood-paneled den TV and in the 99-cent movie theater down the street. For ‘In Search of Darkness ’70s,’ we are assembling a murderer’s row of knowledgeable and recognizable talent to both celebrate and recontextualize this golden era of filmmaking, and I can’t wait to share it with our hungry horror community.”
Following the acclaimed, long-form format the series is famous for, “In Search of Darkness ’70s” explores a curated selection of films and television from 1970 through 1979. Top filmmakers, actors, celebrity fans, and genre experts will shine a spotlight on everything from legendary box-office hits to eclectic deep cuts waiting to be rediscovered.
