Horror History

Scary movies have been around from 1910 to present day, they were just starting to make the films. Back then the movies were older; they were in black in white, a lot shorter than movies today. The movies today have improved immensely they tend to be longer and the graphics, visuals, sounds are 10x better since the early 1900's. You all could tell the differences of older movies compared to movies now just from watching an older horror film to a current horror film.

Frankenstein (1910): As you can see in this trailer the picture isn't very clear and the sound wasn't as good. The movie itself isn't as scary and chilling as a horror film is today.

The Devil Inside (2012): As you can see this The Devil Inside trailer is more creepy compared to the Frankenstein trailer because they make the movie seem more real because of the images they use, better technology, the contrast between quietness compared to the sudden increase in the noise and actions of the scene. Watching older films now to most of us is humorous thinking about how back then we might have found it quite scary because it's the only thing we had back then compared to now. Scary movies now have the thrills of the moment, the volume, quality, sound, the make up, and how it all seems to look a lot more real since the early 1900s.
