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. 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 earliest films. Horror movies have evolved from Gothic classics to modern films through a long history, with early influential films coming from German expressionism in the 1900s.
