Alienation, generational tensions, rampant nationalism and the
pervasiveness of atomic danger are all topics that haunted late
Soviet citizens, and those fears are reflected in the films meant
to represent their horror genre. In the late 1970s and throughout
the 1980s, production of horror movies from independent filmmakers
and Hollywood skyrocketed. It was a time of intense Cold War
conflict and a resurgence of conservative ideals. It's not
difficult to imagine that the ascent of horror occurred in
conjunction with an increasingly scary and alienated world, and
horror reflected those freights in the form of nuclear holocausts,
toxic waste pollution, alien clown invaders and undead houseguests.
Everyone was at risk - teenagers especially - because their present
and future remained most uncertain. If we can agree that such
feelings underpinned American viewers in the age of Reagan and
neo-liberalism, then what about late socialism? How did film makers
depict Soviet society's fears?

commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We
appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the
preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
