Horror Movies, pt. 2

Published: April 19, 2021, 7 a.m.

b"The genres of modern scary movies known as slashers, meta-horror, torture porn, and social thrillers, each tell us about the anxieties of the generation in which they came to exist. Like part one, this episode explores the themes present in some of the most important films in the horror canon; themes of feminism and satanic ritual abuse, of Reagan-era morality and greed, of moral ambiguity in times of war, and those that are coming to define the smoldering culture wars we find ourselves in today. With a never-ending series of sequels, each new American terror resurrects our collective fear, making it perfectly clear that horror never dies.\\n\\n Become a Patron to get access to Chelsey's other podcast Walk with Me\\n\\nCheck out Hark here to experience podcasts in a new way!\\nHead to tryfirstleaf.com/hysteria to get 6 bottles of wine for $29.95\\nCheck out the Queery podcast today!\\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\\nFriggin incredible voice acting by Will Rogers and Miranda Zickler\\n(Check our Miranda's band Kuinka and their new single All Mine)\\n\\nFollow American Hysteria on social media:\\nTwitter: @AmerHysteria\\n Instagram: @AmericanHysteriaPodcast\\n Find our merch at americanhysteria.com\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
