A good example of the same kind of horror today is "Slither," which is also about the horrors of marriage. In my book, I have a section where I talk about the movie "Demon Seed," which is a fantastic 70s flick with Julie Christie as a woman who is kidnapped and raped by an AI invented by her husband. The AI takes over the house security system, knocks her up with a housecleaner bot, locks her in, and literally forces her to be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. Talk about horrors of pregnancy!

So I do talk quite a bit about movies from the 20s and 30s -- especially the Jekyll and Hyde flicks. I have heard of This Spartan Life, and I think it rules.

I take it you looking more at the 50's ones Them etc.and not the 30's classics such as Dracula and Frankenstein – I would have thought they where more gothic influenced though The King Kong or at least PJ’s remakes does feature the depression quite a bit -or did they cut those bits in the us ;-) BTW have you heard about this spartan life (a talk show set in the Halo2 xbox live system) http://www.thisspartanlife.com/ I think you'd make a good guest Sounds an interesting take on monster movies.
