Episode 1: German Expressionism
May and Clinton discuss the first major horror movement: German Expressionism. German Expressionism arose as a response to the savagery and inhumanity experienced during World War I. As the German public reeled from the Allies' draconian terms of surrender, the movement was a barometer for measuring an era's cultural anxieties. In this episode, May and Clinton discuss these aspects as well as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Nosferatu, and Metropolis.
