Chucky and Freddy and Jason, oh my! We’ve just seen the bonkers trailer for the definitive1980s-era horror documentary, In Search of Darkness, and can’t stop smiling. Whether you came of age in the 80s or merely a fan of horror’s Golden Age, you’ll definitely want to sink your teeth into this film when it arrives sometime this summer.
“Assembling the amazing interview talent and speaking with them for In Search of Darkness has been an absolute thrill for this longtime horror genre fan, and I’m thrilled to be able to share this journey into ‘80s horror with audiences,” said David Weiner, director of In Search of Darkness. “Calling anything ‘definitive’ can be quite a challenge for any filmmaker, but I genuinely believe we have captured something very special for horror fans — and fans of film in general — who are interested in more of a genre deep dive and an examination of a decade’s influence, than simply a broad survey of horror.”
The trailer coincides with a final Indiegogo campaign for In Search of Darkness (currently in post-production) that will offer backers some incredible perks, not to mention a chance to lock-down your copy of the documentary by ordering it in advance.

Synopsis:
Featuring compelling critical takes and
insider tales of the Hollywood filmmaking experience throughout the 1980s, In
Search of Darkness will provide fans with a unique perspective on the decade
that gave rise to some of the horror genre’s greatest icons, performers,
directors and franchises that forever changed the landscape of modern cinema.
Tracking major theatrical releases, obscure titles and straight-to-video gems,
the incredible array of interviewees that have been assembled for ISOD will
weigh in on a multitude of topics: from creative and budgetary challenges
creatives faced throughout the decade to the creature suits and practical
effects that reinvigorated the makeup effects industry during the era to the
eye-popping stunts that made a generation of fans believe in the impossible. In
Search of Darkness will also celebrate many of the atmospheric soundtracks
released during that time, the resurgence of 3-D filmmaking, the cable TV
revolution and the powerful marketing in video store aisles, the
socio-political allegories infused throughout many notable films, and so much
more.
