Writer/director David Weiner said in a statement, “The ‘80s marked a radical change in filmmaking as a result of the home video revolution. The horror genre exploded as crafty filmmakers saw dollar signs and sidestepped Hollywood gatekeepers to land their movies directly on the shelves of local mom-and-pop video stores. As an ‘80s teen, I was the target audience for these bottom-shelf VHS scares that lured me with shocking exploitation box art. In Search of Darkness Part III celebrates these highly entertaining, direct-to-video genre entries alongside forgotten theatrical and late-night cable favorites. Featuring interviews with 70 horror icons and experts discussing indie filmmaking adventures, real-world influences, and the horror movies they love, Part III is the perfect cap to the In Search of Darkness trilogy and our longest installment yet, with over five clip-filled hours of ‘80s horror goodness.”
