Send us Fan Mail (https://www.buzzsprout.com/2544272/fa...) Why was the 1970s the absolute golden age of horror cinema? We sit down with director David Weiner to talk about "In Search of Darkness: '70s" and break down iconic masterpieces like The Exorcist, Jaws, Halloween, and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. He's back! In this highly anticipated sequel interview, David Weiner returns to the Horror Nerds Podcast to chat with hosts Samantha and Bonnie. Together, they dive deep into the rise of low-budget slashers, the decade's intense satanic frenzy, and the legendary directors who defined a generation of fear. Make sure you have your wits and gear, because it's time to go searching in darkness again. 👉 Support the documentary here: https://insearchofdarkness.com/ 👻 Get More Laughs Want more interview goodness with Samantha and Bonnie?
