In Search of Darkness: Part II
“When people ask me, ‘Hey, what’s it like being in the gayest horror movie ever made,’ ‘I’m like ‘It was fucking awesome!”

Hell yeah! This was a lot better than the first! It was great to see everyone talk so kindly about the films they made and the horror genre as a whole. I’m so glad they covered blood diner. And it was nice to see Linnea Quigley.

These documentaries are great and I will def be seeing part three soon.

Watched these in some kind of machete order (1, 3, 2) but that doesn't take away from the great production of these docs. You'll always leave an In Search of Darkness viewing with new knowledge and a list of films to check out.

In Search of Darkness: Part II
So much fun and perfect to watch with a group of  friends or play in the background while doing work. I love the Tetsuo portion and also the way these films draw attention to the crazy and overlooked sequels like Ghoulies 3: Ghoulies go to College as well as the actor highlights like Linnea’s segment. I think this even my third rewatch lol
