History of horror
The roots of horror films come from 18th and 19th century Gothic literature works such as Frankenstein, Dracula, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. During the silent film era of the late 19th century, early horror films thrilled audiences without sound effects or dialogue. In the 1930s, films featuring monsters and mad scientists like Frankenstein and King Kong became popular, helping audiences cope with the Great Depression. The 1950s saw the rise of creature features influenced by atomic testing and the Space Race, making science-related horrors more frightening. Slashers and body horror emerged in the 1970s and 1980s as scientific knowledge grew, exemplified in films like Nightmare on Elm Street and Evil Dead 2
