ULTIMATE HORROR DOCUMENTARY SERIES DIVES INTO INFLUENTIAL LATE-’90s SCREAM ERA WITH IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS: 1995-1999
CREATORVC, makers of the critically acclaimed In Search of Darkness horror documentary series, are back to cap their deep-dive into the ’90s with a bloody bang with In Search of Darkness: 1995 -1999, available for pre-order from May 15th through June 9th 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 teen-driven, meta-fueled movies like Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Craft, Halloween H20, Bride of Chucky, and In the Mouth of Madness; the gritty Se7en and From Dusk Till Dawn; the surprising The Sixth Sense; Ring and the J-Horror explosion; plus indie sensations like Tales from the Hood and the found-footage phenomenon The Blair Witch Project.
Featuring exclusive interviews with the greatest assembly of ’90s horror film icons and experts ever, In Search of Darkness: 1995 -1999 reunites key talent from ISOD: 1990-1994 (John Carpenter, Doug Bradley, Mike Flanagan, Akela Cooper, Charles Band, Don Mancini, etc.) 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 TBA — all sharing candid observations, experiences, and analysis of the era with the signature celebratory and insightful lens of the In Search of Darkness documentary series.

From Writer/Director David Weiner:
“In the years between 1995 and 1999, horror films collectively found their footing for changing audience tastes. 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.”
