b"Horror movies, consistently written-off by critics, exist unbound from mainstream respectability and because of this, they can often tell us the brutal truth. For this two-part series, we will be investigating what horror movies, their plots, their victims, and their villains reflect back to us about the dominant repressed fears of each generation. From the Big Bug movies of the atomic era, the earliest monster movies of post-WWI eugenics, the psychotherapy gender-panic of Psycho inspiration Ed Gein, to the new age of gore born from the violence of the late 1960s, horror movies may be vital in helping us survive the true terrors of American life.\\n\\nCome back next week for Return of the Horror Movies where we cover the 1970s to the present with all the teenaged blood and guts you could ever dream of!\\n\\nSubscribe to Euphomet now!\\nSubscribe to Lolita Podcast now!\\xa0\\n\\nBecome a Patron to get access to Chelsey's other podcast Walk with Me\\n\\nAmerican Hysteria is written, produced, and hosted by Chelsey Weber-Smith\\nSound design by Clear Commo Studios\\n Research and co-writing by Riley Smith\\nCo-produced and edited by Miranda Zickler\\n Voice acting by Will Rogers\\n \\n Follow American Hysteria on social media:\\nTwitter: @AmerHysteria\\n Instagram: @AmericanHysteriaPodcast\\n Find our merch at americanhysteria.com\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
