Horror films strive to elicit emotions of fear, disgust, and horror from viewers through frightening scenes and supernatural elements. They often overlap with fantasy and science fiction genres and thrillers. The first horror film was made in 1896 by George Milies called The House Of The Devil, though the genre has origins dating back to the beginning of movies. Early horror films included adaptations and expressionist works from Germany in the early 1900s that influenced decades of filmmakers.
