Horror has been mainstream for a long time. If it was not mainstream, we would not have had a Universal Monsterverse back in the early days of the talkies. Drive-in horror flicks were made for the average Baby Boomer teenager. I think you can make the case that grindhouse and more extreme horror has a niche audience, but the horror genre is made for the masses.
I agree! I suppose I mean that horror was far more subversive and not necessarily 'palatable' to prior generations, partially due to the fact that they lacked the exposure that we have to extreme visual media day in, day out - horror had a 'shock' value that is harder to replicate now without going into the extremes of body horror and psychological terror. But yes, of course, horror has always had a kind of mainstream appeal:) x thank you for commenting! x
@@hazelannarogersvideos - I guess you have not heard about David Cronenberg or David Lynch's early work. Body horror and psychological horror are nothing new. Lol! Remember that the 70's is known as the "video nasties" era for a reason. There was a whole genre of horror films that came out of that decade revolving around shock value. Baby Boomers-the Vietnam War generation-were not just watching those films. They were making them. I know what you are trying to say is that younger people can easily access real extreme content via social media. A real beheading video, for example, is only a click away, but in terms of horror films of today, many older horror fans, myself included, feel that it is too tame. That's why it is so refreshing to see films like The Substance and Strange Darling and Anora get made today. We need movies that are still pushing the envelope.
I LOVE Lynch and Cronenberg!! Two of my favourite directors haha. But that's because I adore film and am deeply interested in exploring most genres of it - most people who just enjoy films in general haven't seen their work! X
@@hazelannarogersvideos - I love Lynch, and I admittedly need to watch more Cronenberg. I have only watched The Fly and Videodrome and loved both. Horror fans would definitely be familiar with the works of Lynch and Cronenberg though.

Horror was always mainstream in my eyes! There r SoOo much great actors and actresses that I ADORE that deserve much more credit!
I totally agree! It has a constant appeal for a certain group of people, and YES SOOO many underrated actors/actresses!! Xx
Literally just came here to say horror has always been main stream in a way. I’m sure the vid is great! Bye
Haha yes I would tend to agree - this is more about the 'revival' of horror in the 2020s in particular and the reasons behind it:)
Amazing work, really interesting to delve into the collective subconscious that influences horror, looking forward to seeing more! ❤
