In Search Of Darkness

The 80s gave birth to a certain type of horror movie that has been burned into the consciousness of those of us who grew up during the period, coming of age in that amazing time when home video and premium cable meant an endless stream of age-inappropriate genre flicks. In Search of Darkness is an exhaustive four hour documentary on 80s horror, and it?s an absolutely essential watch if movies like Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Thing, and many others mean something to you. Featuring interviews with a laundry list of actors, directors, producers, effects artists, and more, this is a love letter to a genre that is often unfairly maligned. The clips will bring back memories, and have you making a mental list of old favorites to rewatch, and forgotten gems to check out for the first time. In Search of Darkness, which was financed in part with crowdfunding support through Indiegogo, is currently streaming on Shudder.
