MACHINES 19 • The Horrors of Y2K
The early 2000s were many things: 9/11, camera phones, government surveillance, MSN Messenger, low-rise jeans, Big Brother and the most extra horror films you can think of. Author Kirsty Logan joins the podcast to go over what makes this moment in horror history so unique, by looking at a wave of horror films from the early 2000s that channelled the paranoia and confusion of the emerging digital age: My Little Eye (2002), The Collingswood Story (2002), Feardotcom (2002).
