Chapter Two of our Atomic Monsters and Mutations Deep Dive moves into the shadowy world of the 1930s and 1940s, where mad science reigned and monsters were born in laboratories, not radioactive wastelands—at least not yet. This era gave us twisted geniuses, doomed experiments, and the first cinematic warnings that progress without conscience might be the real horror. From Frankenstein to wartime propaganda, we explore how early science-gone-wrong stories laid the psychological and thematic groundwork for the atomic nightmares still to come.
