Greetings, folks. In the 2020s, horror experienced a diverse evolution across various mediums like film, TV, literature, and games. There was a resurgence of psychological horror, exploring themes of societal fears, isolation, technology, and the unknown. Pandemic-related horror gained traction, reflecting anxieties around contagion and societal collapse. The genre also saw an expansion in representation and inclusion, bringing diverse perspectives to traditional horror narratives. Additionally, interactive horror games became increasingly popular, blurring the lines between reality and fiction.

This week, I welcome back Manny C. to help me discuss horror in the 2020s, as we round out our century's long conversation about horror through the decades. This time around, we talk where we think horror is going and where we'd like to see it go.
