George Milies made the first horror film called Le Manoir Du Diable in 1896, though it was only two minutes long. The history of horror films dates back to the earliest days of movies and shows how they evolved from Gothic classics to modern films. The first full-length horror film was an adaptation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and many early horror films were made by German expressionist filmmakers in the early 1900s, influencing directors like Tim Burton. Hollywood started regularly producing horror films in the 1920s with Lon Chaney Sr. becoming the first American horror star.
