All-told, In Search of Darkness 1995-1999 covers more than 65 movies, everything from mainstream favourites to lesser-known straight-to-video classics.

As with our previous titles, these are complemented with larger-context chapters where our cast comment on the bigger picture, including:

Meta or Not, Here I Come - Our cast discuss Kevin Williamson’s resurrection of teen horror and the subsequent shift to self-referential, meta projects like the game-changing Scream and the snarky Bride of Chucky. With contributions from Jamie Kennedy (Actor, Scream), Andrew Fleming (Director, The Craft), Lou Diamond Phillips (Actor, Bats), and many more.

Unmade ’90s Horror Projects - We take a look at what could have been: Alex Winter discusses how Stranger Things killed his The Gate remake, Sandy Carpenter explains how Jurassic Park took a bite out of John Carpenter’s Creature From the Black Lagoon remake, and James V. Hart shares about the Wake The Dead adaptation that never quite got off the ground, and many more.

J-Horror's Western Invasion - The late ’90s saw a string of Japanese horror masterpieces like Ringu and Audition infiltrate Western consciousness through word-of-mouth long before Hollywood took notice. Our experts, including Vincenzo Natali (Director, The Cube), Shintaro Shimosawa (Producer, The Grudge), and C. Robert Cargill (Co-Writer, The Black Phone), discuss why these unsettling innovations still influence filmmakers today.

Slasher Trash

Millennium Anxiety & Digital Dread - Paul W.S. Anderson (Director, Event Horizon), C.Robert Cargill (Co-writer, The Black Phone) and Emily Bergl (Actor, The Rage: Carrie 2) discuss how filmmakers channeled Y2K paranoia and emerging tech fears into enduring classics. From The Matrix's digital dystopia to End of Days' apocalyptic vision, these weren't just films – they were cultural artifacts that reflected our collective anxieties and helped us deal with them. 

You too can join these horror legends with your name in the credits of In Search of Darkness: 1995-1999! Secure your place in horror history by ordering by midnight on Halloween!
