The Silent Era and German Expressionism
Silent films were movies produced between 1894 and the late 1920s that had no synchronized recorded sound or spoken dialogue. Intertitles were used to convey context and dialogue. Silent films appealed to both the working class as they were accessible without reading, and the middle class as novels were adapted into films. As technology advanced, the film industry consolidated in Hollywood. German Expressionist films of 1919-1933 used experimental techniques to convey emotion through sets and acting.
The Silent Era
The document discusses two influential silent horror films, Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Nosferatu utilized the costume and makeup of Count Orlok to create fear in viewers with his devil-like face. It also used silhouettes and shadows to build suspense and terror. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari was expressionist in style with its twisted sets that caused feelings of claustrophobia, and characters disappearing into darkness left viewers in suspense. Both films demonstrated that horror could be effectively conveyed without sound through lighting, sets, and the visual expressions of actors.

The Cabinet of Dr. Calibari gained popularity in 1920 for its storyline and cast, and still holds high ratings today. Modern horror films focus on families, spirits, and murder, with popular recent examples including The Conjuring, Insidious, and Paranormal Activity.
