The first kind was the mob monster movie, where films like Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Night of the Living Dead showed that society could be turned and the individual could be the hero. Thinly veiled as a social and political commentary, both movies definitely provide scares in a new way and have been spun off numerous times.The second kind of movies set the stage for next week's discussion on the expansion of horror, and to explain why we chose two Hitchcock classics.What is your favorite movie from this era, and do you agree with our thoughts on these movies?
