Jay Hoffman, Ryan Lootens, and Erin McCabe have a discussion with David Weiner, the director of In Search of Darkness Parts I & II, and the upcoming In Search of Tomorrow.

Join the Front Row Flashbacks as we get the opportunity to interview David Weiner. He is the director of the critically acclaimed documentary In Search of Darkness Part I as well as it’s sequel In Search of Darkness Part II, which focuses on the history of 1980’s horror movies. Weiner is currently working on another documentary titled In Search of Tomorrow, which will give viewers a deep dive into 1980’s science fiction films. David gives us insights into why people love horror and why this particular decade of horror is remembered so fondly. His knowledge of 1980’s horror and sci-fi cinema is vast, and we were lucky enough to have him share that knowledge with us.

In Search of Darkness Part I can be viewed on Shudder, and In Search of Darkness Part II will be on Shudder starting April 26th.

Featuring: Erin McCabe, Ryan Lootens, & Jay Hoffman
