- Film History
This first season of Legacy of Brutality will serve as a brief introductory history of horror films. In this episode, we talk about the Hays Code, the rise of B-horror-movies, and Val Lewton, Head of Horror at RKO.
Next week, we’ll discuss a tradition of female horror antagonists through the 40s and 50s, the decline of the production code, creature features, and more!
