Films from the horror genre are designed to elicit
fright, fear, terror, disgust or horror from viewers. In horror
film plots, evil forces, events, or characters, sometimes
of supernatural origin, intrude into the everyday world. Horror
film characters include vampires, zombies , monsters, serial
killers, and a range of other fear-inspiring characters. Horror
films often draw inspiration from characters and stories are
from classic literature, such as Dracula, Frankenstein, The
Mummy, The Wolf Man, The Phantom of the Opera and Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde.
Horror films have been criticized for their graphic violence
and dismissed by film critics as low budget B-movies and exploitation
films. Nonetheless, some major studios and respected directors
have made forays into the genre, and more recent generations
of critics have analyzed horror films. Some horror films draw
on other genres, such as science fiction, fantasy, dark comedy,
and thrillers.
History
Early milestones
1922's NosferatuThe horror genre is nearly as old as film
itself. The first depictions of supernatural events appear
in several of the silent shorts created by film pioneers such
as Georges Méliès in the late 1890s, the most
notable being his 1896 Le Manoir du diable (aka "The
Devil's Castle") which is sometimes credited as being
the first horror film. Another of his horror projects was
the 1898 La Caverne maudite (aka "The Cave of the Demons").
The early 20th century brought more milestones for the horror
genre including the first monster to appear in a full-length
horror film, Quasimodo, the hunchback of Notre-Dame who had
appeared in Victor Hugo's book, "Notre-Dame de Paris"
(published in 1831). Films featuring Quasimodo included Alice
Guy's Esmeralda (1906), The Hunchback (1909), The Love of
a Hunchback (1910) and Notre-Dame de Paris (1911).
Many of the earliest feature length 'horror films' were created
by German film makers in 1910s and 1920s, many of which were
a significant influence on later Hollywood films. Paul Wegener's
The Golem (1915) was seminal; in 1920 Robert Wiene's The Cabinet
of Dr. Caligari was both controversial with American audiences,
due to postwar sentiments, and influential in its Expressionistic
style; the most enduring horror film of that era was probably
the first vampire-themed feature, F. W. Murnau's Nosferatu
(1922), an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Early Hollywood dramas dabbled in horror themes, including
versions of The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) and The Monster
(1925) (both starring Lon Chaney, Sr., the first American
horror movie star). His most famous role, however, was in
The Phantom of the Opera (1925), perhaps the true predecessor
of Universal's famous horror series.
