DragonKing Dark: Modern horror icons
As Halloween approaches this week, we have spent the month talking about archetype monsters like Dracula and Frankenstein — but the monsters of the modern era are even more intense and frightening.
Freddie Kruger, Jason Vorhees, Leatherface, Michael Myers, Pennywise, and the other slasher killers play on a newer type fear. On this edition of DragonKing Dark, host Karl Stern discusses the modern horror icons and why we fear them.
