The American empire emerged from the shadows of World War II. As the nation's influence swept the globe with near impunity, a host of evil forces followed—from racism, exploitation, and military invasion to killer clowns, flying saucers, and monsters borne of a fear of the other. By viewing American imperial history through the prism of the horror genre, Dark Carnivals lays bare how the genre shaped us, distracted us, and gave form to a violence as American as apple pie.

Very thorough
Revisado: 07-12-23
A very comprehensive history of horror that is very heavy on the history, so if you’re just looking for movie facts, maybe look somewhere else. Other than that its a really good overview of US imperialism and its reflection in 20th and 21st century horror films and media. Love how it included video games as well, since they’re often seen is low brow by many despite the nuances they can have.
