This is the radio talent echo. To ask this question, have we an anti-Satan missile?

While we've been conquering polio and space, what have we done about the devil?

Through the 1960s, American horror cinema went through some major changes. Films like Psycho and Peeping Tom in 1960 brought horror to the modern day and made it feel real.

As well as that, there was huge cultural shifts happening through the decade. The Vietnam War, the emergence of youth culture, hippies, civil rights protests and a growing mistrust in authority.

There was a sudden feeling that the real horrors weren't coming from outside, they were coming from within, that we were no longer safe where we live.

Thus the first boom of true modern home invasion horror began. Two films in the 1960s, one in 1964, the other in 1967, about women being targeted and invaded by dangerous murderous outsiders caused huge waves around the world.

The first of which caused such shock and controversy that it was banned in certain countries like England for several decades.

The latter, a much more mainstream success, still terrifies audiences to this day and contains what is generally considered to be one of the greatest scares in cinema history.

Join me as we continue exploring the evolution of home invasion and we discuss lady in a cage and wait until dark.

Welcome back to the evolution of horror. My name is Mike Munster, as ever I am your host.

In this podcast we explore and dissect the history and the evolution of the horror genre, one sub-jomer at a time.

We are currently in the middle of our ninth season exploring the evolution of home invasion and this is part nine.

In this week's episode, as that intro suggested, things start getting dark and scary and properly home invasion-y.

As this week we are going to be talking about lady in a cage from 1964 and wait until dark from 1967.

Both of these discussions will be spoilerific, go and give them both a watch they're both incredible movies before you listen to our discussion.

So joining me to discuss these two bangers, one of my absolute very favourite people, as well as being a regular writer for Rumorg Magazine and the writer and founder of Final Girl Blog.

She is also one of the co-hosts of the Gay Lords of Darkness podcast and she was lost here in our vampire series discussing daughters of darkness and the blood splattered bride with me.

It's a pleasure to have her back. I've ventured all the way over to Gay Lords Manor to see her. Let's hope that she's in.

Stacey Ponder, hello.

Hello. Thank you so much for letting me invade your home here at Gay Lords Manor.

Thank yourself comfortable if you can.

Thank you.
