All horror movies are political. They draw from the well of fears that inspire our political movements. So it's natural that some horror films reflect right wing fears and anxieties, even if unintentionally. What are right wing horror films? What conservative scary movies are out there? You might be surprised -- and even more surprised when I say some of them are actually pretty good.
This is a leftist talking about right wing horror movies. This is not a video about the In Praise of Shadows Conservative Horror Movies video, though I will acknowledge it.
