SearchParty has always been defined by fear. roxana_hadadi writes on how at its end, it turned the subtext into the whole damn text
In 2017, when speaking with Vulture’s Devon Ivie about the second season of Search Party, series co-creators Sarah-Violet Bliss, Charles Rogers, and Michael Showalter listed an array of pop-culture influences for their millennial-focused mystery.
As the season’s mystery became drenched in tension and paranoia, episodes ended often on cliffhanger moments by design, Showalter explained at a South by Southwest panel in 2016: “We want people to question, to speculate, to guess at what’s happening.” Alongside that descent into strangeness, Shawkat’s Dory revealed herself to be an increasingly unreliable figure, capable of convincing herself and her friends of nearly anything.
The world of Search Party has always been defined by specific kinds of fear. After Dory, Drew, Portia, and Elliott kill private investigator Keith Powell , bury his body, and lie about the crime, Dory is haunted by visions of Keith’s reanimated corpse, while Elliott is so guilt-ridden that his hair falls out and he develops a full-body rash.

Romero cast their shadows over the series’ conclusion as the horror goes from psychological to physical.
