Hello all,we hope your having a great week so far. This week is the ending of our Haunted History Month. This week were writing about the History of Horror Movies. Now were not going to talk about the very beginning of horror movies. Were going to talk about when horror movies got popular.
Horror movies started to get very popular in the 1930's trough the 1940's. Many American producers started too create Horror Movies such producers like Universal Pictures. Universal was the foundation of horror movies. They brought the hit horror movie classics like Dracula in 1931,The Mummy in 1932 those movies started what we would call Gothic Horror Movies. Those films were one of the most scariest films people at that time would ever seen next too Frankenstein which came out in 1910 which Boris Karloff played as the Monster. In the 1940's Universal was still creating classics like The Wolf man in 1941 and also made sequels too Frankenstein.
But in 1950's and 1960's Horror movies would get a huge change. Since their were some big changes in television in the 50's. Some horror movies were being broadcast in color. Their were tons and tons of Horror Movies and SCFI movies being made in the 50's. But one of the best Horror Movies came in the 60's when Alford Hitchthingy's Psycho was made it was the first movie that instead of monsters or ghost it was Humans doing the scaring. Another Hitchthingy's film in this time was The Birds(1963) was made. Another huge change in Horror Films was George A. Romero's made Night of the Living Dead in 1968. Night of the Living Dead was the first Zombie movie.
In the 1970's horror movies got way More scary and gory. Their was a lot of great horror movies in this time like The Exorcist which was made in 1973 and was a box office smash! Another huge hit was Jaws which was directed by Steven Spielberg in 1975. Their was also Friday the 13th and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. But the best one was in 1978 when John Carpenter directed Halloween. Halloween was largest grossing independent film ever made!
In the 80's their were a lot of slasher films made during this time like Nightmare on Elm Street in 1984.
That explains the history of Horror Movies from the start were it took off. Now I can keep writing about horror movies now. But I don't think the history is good as it was when they First came out!
So that was the end of Haunted History Month! We hoped you enjoyed reading our articles. We would like to give a big thanks too Channel 66.6 Haunted Radio for helping with the site! And reminder that too look at our site to see all our Articles.
Thanks for reading and be back next week with a horror movie review!
