Relive 90s Horror! New ‘In Search of Darkness’ Doc Pre-Orders Are Open

Do you remember the late 90s? It was a time of dial-up internet, Y2K panic, and a total rebirth of the horror movie genre. If you get nostalgic thinking about Ghostface, found-footage scares, and teen slashers, then you’re in for a massive treat. The team behind the epic “In Search of Darkness” documentary series is back, and this time they’re tackling the second half of the decade with In Search of Darkness: 1995 – 1999.

The best part? Pre-orders are officially open right now and will run through Halloween night!

A Whole New Era of Fear

The “In Search of Darkness” series has already done an incredible job covering the 1980s, but the 90s were a different beast altogether. This new documentary dives deep into the movies that defined a generation of horror fans.

Think about it. The era was kickstarted by Scream in 1996, which completely changed the game with its clever, self-aware script. Suddenly, horror was cool again, and a wave of teen-centric slashers followed. This documentary explores those iconic films, including:

  • I Know What You Did Last Summer
  • Urban Legend
  • The Faculty
  • Halloween H20

But it wasn’t all about teen screams. Director David Weiner also shines a light on the other groundbreaking horror of the time. We’re talking about the gritty realism of Se7en, the indie phenomenon of The Blair Witch Project that made us all afraid of the woods again, and the shocking rise of J-Horror with films like Ringu. This documentary promises to cover it all.

Hear from the Legends Who Made It Happen

What makes the “In Search of Darkness” series so special is the incredible lineup of interviews. This isn’t just a highlight reel; it’s a deep dive with the people who were actually there.

For this installment, they’ve brought in a ton of new faces to share their stories. You’ll hear from Jamie Kennedy (Randy from Scream!), Eduardo Sánchez (co-director of The Blair Witch Project), and Rebecca Gayheart (Urban Legend). They are joined by returning icons like John Carpenter, Doug Bradley, and modern masters like Mike Flanagan, who all share their analysis of this pivotal era. It’s like sitting down with your horror heroes for a six-hour conversation.

Why This Is the Ultimate 90s Horror Guide

As director David Weiner explains, many people think of 90s horror as just the post-Scream boom. But the true fans know there was so much more happening, from straight-to-video gems to mind-bending indie films. This documentary is a celebration of the entire landscape.

Combined with the previous installment covering 1990-1994, this creates a monumental 12-hour exploration of the decade. It’s an essential piece of film history for any serious horror fan.
