As Stephen King says, horror is a conservative genre at its core. Doesn’t mean it’s bad, doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of liberals writing horror, but the default mode for the genre boils down to “The Other disrupts the status quo — shall we restore order or will the Other reign?”

That’s an interesting observation I hadn’t seen before. Thanks.

Zombie apocalypse is a much closer match to current US right wing obsessions than something like Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
