This four-hour-plus sequel to In Search of Darkness delivers more of what made the original so popular. Featuring more critical takes, insider tales, and unheard anecdotes, join us as we explore more of what made ‘80s Horror so special.
Highlights include:
Tom Savini (SFX – Friday the 13th, Day of the Dead) lifts the lid on some of his most famous work and effects, including the formula for perfect onscreen blood and where he got it, and his surprising views on the art of subtlety in SFX.
A Nightmare on Elm Street star Robert Englund discusses how the franchise tapped into the zeitgeist with Freddy Kreuger’s onscreen one-liners: “The franchise exploited Freddie's sense of humour and a kind of almost surreal, subconscious, dreamlike sense of fun and revenge that Freddie was going through with the culture at the same time.”
Vamp actors Robert Rusler and Gedde Watanabe discuss the real-life vamping of Grace Jones: showing up late with her entourage, naked body painting by Keith Haring, and how Grace almost tore out Rusler’s jugular for real!
Robert Englund and Mark Rusler talk about how A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge unwittingly became a beacon of empowerment for many horror fans.
Linnea Quigley shares her wild experiences in indie horror and making Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, including what it’s like to dance with real chainsaws (and how she almost passed out from the fumes) and why the movie was censored in the U.K. thanks to “Video Nasties.”
Demons star Geretta Geretta discusses why Italian-made horror films translate so well abroad: “Fear is universal. It's another reason why horror does so well and is distributed around the world. You don't have to know the languages. Everyone can recognize running. Everyone can recognize fear.”
Shinya Tsukamoto discusses how bad dreams inspired the surrealist cyberpunk visions of flesh and metal seen in Tetsuo the Iron Man.
