| Postwar America. The 1950s. A prosperous time for the nation. But underneath the happy facade, fear was lurking. The horrible devastation left by the Atomic Bomb weighed heavily on the minds of the average Americans. Could such a disaster happen here? The Cold War with Russia began heating up. Nuclear arms proIiferated. The fear of a communist takeover was very real. Science and technology were progressing at an aIarming rate. The Age of lnnocence was coming to an end. InevitabIy, HoIlywood stepped in and utiIized these fears to produce more than a decade's worth of horror and science fiction films that pIayed up this undercurrent of terror. Giant Monsters born out of nucIear war, Martian invasions as a metaphor for communism and Mad Scientists unleashing death and destruction across the Iand: this was The Atomic Age. From 1950 untiI 1962 and beyond, Atom Age Horror reigned supreme at the box office. Here is the compIete oral history of the genre as told by the actors, writers, directors and historians that Iived through it. Six years in the making, Monsters! Martians! Mad Scientists! Horror and Sci-Fi ln The Atomic Age leaves no stone unturned. Part One - The Atomic Age Post-war, Cold War, communist infiltration, bomb sheIters, UFOs, fear mongering, science and technoIogy gone mad, nucIear proliferation, the birth of a new genre in movies. Part Two - A World Gone Mad Three Dimensions, Alien invasions, giant bug-eyed monsters spawned from nucIear disasters, teenagers run amok, mad scientists' experiments with disastrous results. A tidal wave of terror from movie producers. Part Three - Fade To Red The early 60s. ReaI fears came to the surface. The Vietnam War, Civil Rights, corrupt governments and color film. Horror films turned the corner with sex, gore, vioIence and reaIism. Hammer FiIms rose and the Atomic Age was over. |
