In this episode of the Fan2Fan Podcast, Bernie and Pete dig into why horror remakes aren't just cash grabs...they're cultural mirrors. The duo explores how new versions of The Thing, The Fly, The Crazies, and The Invisible Man reflect the fears, politics, and anxieties of their time.
From Cold War paranoia and AIDS-era panic to post-9/11 distrustand gaslighting, each remake captures what society is truly afraid of in its era. Whether it's shape-shifting creatures, viral outbreaks, or unseen abusers, these films reinvent monsters for a new generation.
The conversation was inspired by Ariel Fisher's article, "These Horror Remakes Are Vital Sociopolitical Mirrors Of Their Time" (www.arielfisher.com).
