Episode 1.4

On this episode we dissect the horror genre. What makes this genre in film, litertaure and television so enduringly popular? Is this genre becoming more mainstream and what do these narratives say about the society they are being produced in? We delve into the history of horror from the Gothic to the modern day supernatural, discussing the ways in which horror resurges in moments of national crisis and how these narratives reflect cultural, social and econmic anxieties of their given time. 

This episode is presented by Megan and discussed with Claire.
