More of a good thing, which is a good thing. A few months ago I viewed the first In Search of Darkness, which was a 4 hour plus documentary where almost all of the big 80’s horror movies are discussed by various people involved w/ the genre, along with broader segments in between years. While only a few minutes were spent on each and they all deserve more coverage, most can be explored on your own and it was a nice love letter to that period of time.
The same holds true here, including a few motion pictures being brought up because they had someone from those movies present. This time, it’s mainly deeper cuts that are presented, quite a few of which I hadn’t seen before. In addition, some important talking heads appear for the first time-Tom Savini and Robert Englund. For those that like Italian horror, you will be delighted to know that this receives more coverage and several pictures that arguably should have been in Part I are mentioned here: Silent Night, Deadly Night, Cannibal Holocaust, Beetlejuice.
Between each year are segments that include figures talking about themselves (Nancy Allen, Englund, Savini, etc.), acting in this genre, kids in horror, and even horror videogames. Even if you don’t learn much in the way of information new to you, it was still something that you should check out if you are a genre fan, the epic length be damned. Getting to hear dozens of voices alone was a treat… where else where will you get Chris Jericho, Clancy Brown, Tom Atkins, Barbara Crampton, Geretta Geretta, Jackie Kong, Bill Moseley, Linnea Quigley, Gedde Watanabe, AND Keith David?
