Great conclusion to the In Search of Darkness trilogy, this entry focusing on a handful of lesser-known 80s horror flicks.
Still great to listen to the commentaries but they ran out of decent movies to talk about, instead focusing on terrible straight to VHS’s
Not as good as the first two offerings but still worth a look for fans of 80s horror.
Liked the first 2 films, but there were a lot of cringe takes throughout this one
This one scraped the bottom of the barrel since they talked about the most popular movies in the other docs, but some gems in there.
