Horror Films and What You May Not Have Realized About Them Horror movies are a type of movie that is always going to be around, but with that genre comes a division of groups that can all be considered a horror movie, but in reality are a different kind of movie in themselves. These different types of movies that the horror genre can be divided into are more or less popular depending on what era of film is being discussed. When the horror genre of film was first brought about, a monster was typically the main attraction to the film, which includes Dracula who was originally depicted in Nosferatu (1922). Unlike many forms of horror today, these movies relied on practical effects and scares that would get under your skin, rather than jump in your face. Another thing to note is that the more popular films from this era have spawned multiple horror movies throughout the years with the same characters who are considered classics. The next popular genre of movies that falls under the category of horror is the slasher movies which originally started in 1960 with Peeping Tom and Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. The odd thing about the slasher genre is that it undoubtedly started in 1960, but it took a break and had it’s peak of popularity much later. But if there was a gap in between the start of slasher films and the popularity of slasher films then something had to have come in between those two periods in time. The subgenre of horror film that took advantage of the slasher’s little rest period was the supernatural horror movie, which birthed many classics such as The Exorcist in 1973 or Carrie in 1976. Then the slasher came back in full force starting with Halloween and continuing with Friday the 13th (1980) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), all which compiled more than 15 sequels in that era.

The immense amount of sequels and rip-offs of for slasher movies lasted so long that it tarnished the subgenre that people originally loved and feared so much. However, Wes Craven’s Scream came along which used the cliches that have grown old to it’s advantage, poking fun at them while also being very effective as a scary movie. The reason horror movies will always be around is because they are the essence that movies change over time, and with enough creativity can be turned into something truly special.The Beginners Guide To Options (From Step 1)
