Released on Shudder last year,
In Search of Darkness
was an epic four hour long look at the horror movies of the 1980s. Yet
despite its length, there were plenty of movies left out.
Enter In Search of Darkness: Part II, which once again gives us four hours' worth of discussion from a host of
horror filmmakers, actors and experts. As with the first movie, this one
takes us through the decade year by year to highlight a bunch of the movies
the first doc didn't get around to covering.
In Search of Darkness: Part II premieres on Shudder April
26th.
Check out the trailer below.
The official synopsis reads:
Building on the hit 2019 superdoc that Forbes called “a scary good magnum opus,” In Search of Darkness: Part II dives deeper into the fabled practical-effects decade of iconic and eclectic ‘80s horror movies that changed the course of film history. Packed with over four hours of brand-new interviews, including such legendary horror icons as Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Nancy Allen (Dressed to Kill), Linnea Quigley (The Return of the Living Dead), and special-effects wizard Tom Savini (Friday the 13th), Part II features 15 new faces alongside 40-plus returning members of the original In Search of Darkness cast to delve into more fan-favorite titles of ‘80s horror, year-by-year, expanding its scope to cover more international releases and spotlighting horror-career retrospectives.
