The Horror The horror
Okay for the serious Horror fans out there I just finished inputting my Horror order. It will be dribbling in all spring so don't haunt me just yet but this is what I've done. From the silents I got the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Nosferatu, and Phantom of the Opera. It's not comprehensive but it is choice.
The thirties were the golden age of Hollywood Horror. Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy, King Kong, the Invisible man, Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. How many times have these golden oldies been remade? The forties were good also just not as famous. I always want to put the Wolfman with the thirties crowd and the Val Lewton horror films are classics that are under appreciated. I did order Cat People, Curse of the Cat People, I walked with a Zombie, and the Body Snatcher.
The fifties saw sci-fi horror fusion with the Thing (From Another World), Creature from the Black Lagoon, Them!, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Godzilla, and the Fly. And a new crop of horror stars took over from Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff. Vincent Price with House of Wax and Hammer Productions made stars of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee with the Horror of Dracula and the Curse of Frankenstein.
The sixties saw Hitchcock dominating horror with Psycho and the Birds with other mainstream horror including Cape Fear and Rosemary's Baby. Village of the Damned was a vintage British sci-fi/Horror crossover and the Haunting is still regarded as the best haunted house movie ever made. George Romero changed Horror movies forever with Night of the Living Dead in 1968.
The 70's brought us blockbuster Horror with the Exorcist in 1973, Jaws in 1975, Carrie and the Omen in 1976 and Alien in 1979 while teen scream Halloween led the way for Friday the Thirteenth and Nightmare on Elm Street in the eighties. And don't forget the Abominable Dr. Phibes and the Changling!
By the 80's Horror is in full production. The Shining, the Howling, Poltergeist, the Dead Zone, GhostBusters, Beetlejuice, and the Lost Boys are just some of our 80's Horror, while Arachnophobia, Silence of the Lambs, and the Sixth Sense are just a flavor of 90's Horror.
