Because of the horrific ending of the Second World war when American Troops were ordered to drop nuclear bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing more that 150,000 people, horror in the 50's aimed to prey on the peoples fears of nuclear warfare. Films such as Godzilla, The Creature from the Black Lagoon and The Beast with a Million eyes along with many others are examples of horror using public paranoia to their advantage.
