“The ‘90s was a much more exciting time for horror filmmaking, TV programming, and bold innovation than many of us may remember,” says In Search of Darkness: 1990-1994 writer/director David Weiner. “There was an abundance of creative visions, vibrant approaches, and insane indie entries. And it was also a time of major transition, growing pains and evolution for horror filmmakers. I’m excited to present a brand-new line-up of ‘90s horror legends and contemporary voices, alongside several returning ‘80s favorites, to reframe the perspective of this oft-maligned decade of great horror entertainment and risk-taking in In Search of Darkness: 1990-1994.”
