CREATORVC, the creators of the critically acclaimed, fan-favourite In Search of Darkness horror documentary series, invites fans to share their passion for ‘70s horror by helping to shape the format of the upcoming documentary, In Search of Darkness ’70s, and to weigh in on new, exclusive physical perks and collectible merchandising possibilities.
After journeying through the ’80s and ’90s in five long-form documentaries (award nominated for Fangoria Chainsaw & Rondo Hatton awards, with a running time of more than 25 hours), the minds behind In Search of Darkness are excited to tackle the cinematic, revolutionary era that spawned such iconic films as The Exorcist, The Omen, Halloween, Dawn of the Dead, Jaws, Carrie, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Suspiria, Phantasm, and Alien; a golden era defining how we’d look at the horror genre for decades to come.
“I am truly excited to return to my horror roots for In Search of Darkness ’70s, and to once again invite our passionate audience to share their ideas and favorite genre films to help shape our next CREATORVC documentary” says Writer/Director David Weiner. “Growing up as a Monster Kid in that golden decade, I have so many formative memories of watching horror movies and late night creature features on the big and small screen, fueled by the broadcast premieres of The Exorcist, The Omen, Carrie, and Salem’s Lot that my parents somehow allowed me to watch. What were they thinking? I can’t wait to share my nostalgia for the decade combined with a fresh re-contextualization of this amazing time in horror history.”
CREATORVC is listening: Horror fans are encouraged to go to share their thoughts in a survey after reading the In Search of Darkness ’70s synopsis — giving the audience as much say in the collaborative process as possible.
Known for prioritizing fan-inclusive participation in their documentary projects, CREATORVC’s goal in this unique opportunity is to gather fan insights, questions, and preferences to enhance the upcoming documentary experience and allow every horror fan to feel seen and heard.
After tackling the ’80s and the ’90s, the In Search of Darkness documentary series rises again, and this time, we’re reflecting on one of the grittiest, most revolutionary and blockbuster decades of film ever recorded — The ’70s — from the most celebrated, legendary movie titles to the many eclectic, deep cuts waiting to be rediscovered.
Taking on the era’s greatest horror films with CREATORVC’s unique, long-form documentary format, In Search of Darkness ’70s returns to its full-decade, year-by-year format pioneered by our ’80s trilogy; exploring 1970 through 1979 through lively, exclusive interviews with top filmmakers and actors, celebrity fans, and experts, all sharing candid observations, experiences, and critical analysis to celebrate and re contextualize this amazing time in horror history.
In Search of Darkness ’70s survey participation ends April 30, 2026.
