{"product_id":"i-was-a-cold-war-cyndy-hendershot-9780879728502","title":"I Was a Cold War Monster: Horror Films, Eroticism, and the Cold War Imagination","description":"Horror films provide a guide to many of the sociological fears of the Cold War era. In an age when warning audiences of impending death was the order of the day for popular nonfiction, horror films provided an area where this fear could be lived out to its ghastly conclusion. Because enemies and potential situations of fear lurked everywhere, within the home, the government, the family, and the very self, horror films could speak to the invasive fears of the cold war era. \u003ci\u003eI Was a Cold War Monster\u003c\/i\u003e examines cold war anxieties as they were reflected in British and American films from the fifties through the early sixties. This study examines how cold war horror films combined anxiety over social change with the erotic in such films as \u003ci\u003ePsycho\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Tingler\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Horror of Dracula\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eHouse of Wax\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cyndy Hendershot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0879728507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780879728502\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.02w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2002 pg. 1592","brand":"Cyndy Hendershot","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44063462064383,"sku":"9780879728502","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dafeee65-27f5-4dd5-8ad5-ffd8d06a7787.jpg?v=1685389693","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-was-a-cold-war-cyndy-hendershot-9780879728502","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
