Summary
There are a few things in this world that we can rely on: death, taxes, and, in the US, extremely high medical bills. None of these things is particularly enjoyable, but they are consistent. Consistency isn’t always a bad thing, as is the case with the new long-running documentary series, “In Search of Darkness,” which has tackled two of horror’s most dominant decades with the 1980s and 1990s. Many have been asking, “Why not go back further?” To the decade that perhaps defined what modern horror would become, and birthed some of the most legendary titles in the genre’s pantheon, like “The Exorcist,” “The Omen,” “Black Christmas,” “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” and “Halloween,” to name only a few. That’s right, CreatorVC and writer/director David Weiner are going back to the post-free love era of the 1970s! David was gracious enough to join us on the latest episode of the Macabre Daily Podcast to talk about the forthcoming entry in the series and how he approaches the process of defining what to cover in such an active decade in genre history. We also share our love for the series with David, which we find to be the ultimate horror nerd comfort food, and the commitment that he and CreatorVC have to delivering fan service the right way.
