‘In Search of Darkness: 1990-1994’ Exclusive Clip: Bernard Rose On The Live Bees in ‘Candyman’
I don’t know about you, but I love 90s horror. From the films to the TV shows (for both young and old), the 90s were a wild time for the genre, never quite consistent, but always trying something new and strange. And In Search of Darkness: 1990-1994 aims to celebrate that with a five-plus-hour documentary featuring brand-new interviews with horror icons and experts. We’re excited to have an exclusive clip from the documentary about the legendary Tony Todd and his performance in Candyman, especially involving some very live bees.
In Search of Darkness: 1990-1994 comes from CREATORVC, the creative minds behind the In Search of Darkness 80s horror trilogy and Aliens Expanded documentary. Directed by David Weiner, In Search of Darkness: 1990-1994 delves into an era of horror evolution marked by grittier, meta filmmaking, straight-to-video ingenuity, darker villains alongside franchise icons, and the birth of seismic digital effects.
Our exclusive clip features Candyman director Bernard Rose and M3GAN writer Akela Cooper discussing the iconic performance by Tony Todd and how they were able to work with live bees.
Watch the clip now:
Candyman is only one of dozens of films featured in the documentary. Other titles featured include The Silence of the Lambs, Tremors, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Wes Craven’s New Nightmare, Stephen King’s IT miniseries, Frankenhooker and Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive.
Discussing these films are 90s horror icons as well as genre experts and famous fans, including John Carpenter (In the Mouth of Madness), Heather Langenkamp (Wes Craven’s New Nightmare), Tim Balme (Dead Alive), Michael Gross (Tremors), Frank Henenlotter (Frankenhooker), Ted Raimi (Army of Darkness), Charlie Band (Full Moon Entertainment), Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep), Ernest Dickerson (Def by Temptation), Don Mancini (Child’s Play), Screaming Mad George (Bride of Re-Animator), Robert Kurtzman (Misery), Mick Garris (The Stand), Stephen Volk (Ghostwatch), Shinya Tsukamoto (Hiruko the Goblin), and more.
“The ‘90s was a much more exciting time for horror filmmaking, TV programming, and bold
innovation than many of us may remember,” says In Search of Darkness: 1990-1994 writer/director David Weiner. “There was an abundance of creative visions, vibrant approaches,
and insane indie entries. It was also a time of major transition, growing pains, and evolution
for horror filmmakers. I’m excited to present a brand-new line-up of ‘90s horror legends and
contemporary voices, alongside several returning ‘80s favorites, to reframe the perspective of
this oft-maligned decade of great horror entertainment and risk-taking in In Search of Darkness:
1990-1994.”
