Hi everyone, I’m the writer/director of In Search of Darkness: 1990-1994, and excited to spread the word about my new longform documentary.
My credits include writer/director of the In Search of Darkness ’80s horror documentary trilogy, and the ’80s Sci-Fi documentary In Search of Tomorrow; executive producer of Aliens Expanded and the upcoming The Thing Expanded with John Carpenter. Previous to making documentaries for CREATORVC, I was editor-in-chief of Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine; a writer for The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision; and senior editor at Entertainment Tonight online for 13 years.
**Ask me anything: I’ll be back at 5pm PT today (Monday Oct 14th) to answer your questions!**
SYNOPSIS: Ready to explore the best of ‘90s horror films and TV? In Search of Darkness 1990-1994, a six-hour documentary featuring brand-new interviews with the greatest line-up of horror icons and experts, is now available to pre-order exclusively at [90sHorrorDoc.com](http://90sHorrorDoc.com) until Midnight Halloween on October 31st, 2024.
From CREATORVC, the creative minds behind the In Search of Darkness ‘80s horror trilogy, In Search of Darkness: 1990-1994 delves into an era of horror evolution marked by grittier, meta filmmaking, straight-to-video ingenuity, darker villains alongside franchise icons, and the birth of seismic digital-effects – leaving no shortage of terror tales on TV, at the local video store, and on multiplex screens.
Landmark film favorites including Candyman, The Silence of the Lambs, Tremors, Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Wes Craven’s New Nightmare, Stephen King’s IT miniseries, Frankenhooker and Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive are deconstructed, re-contextualized, and revered with a nostalgic, celebratory lens in In Search of Darkness: 1990-1994, which features new interviews with legendary film icons of the ‘90s, side-by-side with genre experts and famous fans – all assembled to reframe a fascinating period in horror history and hold up a cracked mirror to the compelling socio-political issues of the landscape.
