Halloween is the ideal night for watching horror films. The dark and chilly atmosphere, the spooky costumes, and the candy corn all contribute to the eerie mood. Horror films can be an excellent way to celebrate Halloween and they can also be enjoyable to watch with friends and family.
Horror films have been around since the early days of cinema. The earliest horror films were inspired by Gothic literature, such as Nosferatu (1922) and Frankenstein (1931). These films were dark and atmospheric, and they often explored themes of mortality and the supernatural. In the 1950s and 1960s, horror films began to focus on more visceral scares. Films like The Blob (1958) and Psycho (1960) featured graphic violence and disturbing imagery.
The 1970s and 1980s were a golden age for horror films. This was the era of the slasher film, with classics like Halloween (1978), Friday the 13th (1980), and A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). In recent years, horror films have become more diverse and sophisticated. There is now a wide range of horror sub-genres, including psychological horror, body horror, and found footage horror. Some notable recent horror films include The Babadook, Hereditary, Get Out, The Conjuring and The Exorcist.
