DD 2.03 Atomic Monsters And Mutations Chapter 3: Between Wars and Worlds - The Atomic Threshold (1945-1953)

Chapter Three of our Atomic Monsters and Mutations Deep Dive explores the threshold between global war and global paranoia—the uneasy years between 1945 and 1953, when horror began to shift from gothic castles and madmen to laboratories, testing sites, and Cold War nerves. With the bomb freshly dropped and the world suddenly aware of its own capacity for extinction, cinema entered a transitional phase, one haunted by fallout. Before the atomic age could unleash its giant bugs and radioactive beasts, it had to confront the dread of what science had already done—and what it might do next.
