History of Horror films
Before 1930 horror didn't exist people thought it was gothic or melodramtic.
1930-1940s was a time for lots of big hollywood horrors for example frankenstein and dracula etc.
B-movies horror became more popular and things from the real world started to be refelected within the films.
1950s was the height of hammer horror.
1960s counter culture- a new type of horror emerges with lots of gore and violence.
1970-1980s was a prolific time for horrow it was the era of the slasher films.
1990-today low turn out of production of horro in 90s and 2000s , again peoples idea of horror was changing based on truth or within a realistic seeting become popular (paranormal).
The development of horror through the eras is truly based on how people need new things to be scared of. What was seen as very scary in the 1940s is not as scary in the modern day. Its alot harder to make people scared nowadays.
