A Short History of the Horror Film (1890s - 2010s)

[@Maxdewinter123]

Lot of people complaining that their favorite horror film did not appear in the video. Well it is just impossible. There have been so many horror classics that even a 4 hour documentary wouldn'be enough. Not to mention a 13 minute summary. And what the creator of this video has done is nothing less than remarkable. It traces a general line of development of the genre in broad terms, it is not a discussion of milestones in horror. Excellent job, fantastic.

[@sonicriders.7]

Yahhh…. It would be cool to see a 4 hour video about this kinda stuff tho. It’s really interesting

To all those in the comments who said you forgot this movie, or should have mentioned that movie, he told you up front that this was an extremely condensed version of horror cinema. It was only meant to show the highlights.

[@SIASOUKHTEH]

So do you think that Alien series or exorcist are not the highlights?

i feel like most of those type of comments are looking for "validation for their knowledge", anyway, instead of truly caring for the mentions. because it would be just unreasonable to expect every single film getting mentioned.

[@VeranimasMegaZone]

The Shining was definitely a highlight, why did he only show it in the beginning?

[@drudru1986]

Great overview! A perfect video for new fans of horror.

[@OvertheHedge06]

What a well made video Horror is arguably the most genre of film. So many fantastic directors got their start with horror classics and so many stars have been in horror movies before they were really known. It's a genre thats so easily influenced with trends of film and changes so fast but no horror film really ever gets forgotten. Some horror fans are practically historians when it comes to long-running characters like Dracula, Frankenstein, Invisible Man, Michael Myers, ect. but the horror films even before those are so old that they're pretty much ancient cinema and are archived from the most diehard of cinephiles.

Bob Clark's black Christmas gets overlooked in every horror documentary it was the first holiday themed slasher and it introduced the very first phone call killer

I’ve noticed that too

[@suzanneromijnders6320]

Thanks, this was a great starting point for further investigation into the history of the genre!

[@ethangordon9762]

This was really helpful, I'm working on a research paper for my history class and this was a perfect video to take notes from (I'll obviously cite it). It'd be great if you could make another short history video about the horror genre from 2010-present, but I understand it must be a very research-heavy and time-intensive project. It would also be cool to get a short history of different subgenres of horror, I know you made a video about zombies in cinema, but there are a lot of other genres you could cover. Just a suggestion, keep making content dude!

[@m1k119]

A very well knowledge put together in such a short time. Well done dude.

[@theboxyt3901]

Great retrospective ! Thank you !

[@SkaYouth]

I get that this is mostly western-centric but damn.. early 00's Japan horror deserved a mentioned for introducing cyberhorror (Ju-On, Kairo, Suicide Club etc..) to the world

[@huiwenz754]

Totally agree.

[@Threepeater6447]

@@huiwenz754 no this video will be 3-4 hour long if you mention that

[@ITSGENDI]

There was 2 films that you may have overlooked. 1 Godzilla (1954) The reason I say godzilla is because it was capatlising on the "Nuclear fear" Of the 50s. 2 The Blob (1958) It was on of the first coulor horror films and had some amazing Special effects.

[@SoberAnison]

Amazing work. You’re channel is wonderful

[@MK-ft8uk]

Left out: The Exorcist had massive influence on Satanist horror. Amityville and the rise of haunted house films. The Shining's massive influence on the respectable horror film along with Silence of the Lambs. Also left out Blair Witch being the first in viral marketing / internet horror. And Cannibal Holocaust was actually first found footage horror

[@Domenicomn]

Yo! Charlie!! you're cool! keep up the impeccable work man

[@claudia-rq9ht]

Wow. You had me at the clip of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) but, what a video!

[@leox4301]

Well done but I would also mention the rise of Asian horror films in 1998-2004 [The Ring, Ju-On, The Eye, Shutter] and James Wan - the most influential horror director of 2010s.

[@coolkevin5433]

Fantastic overview and so well put together! Definitely gives people a lot of room for greater explanation if anything jumps out of them. I'd only recommend that people also consider checking out Spanish/Mexican/Latin American horror as well. For obvious reasons there wasn't much time to cover that here, but it might be something that could interest people. Nonetheless, there is already much to examine here!

[@canadianfortrump4057]

I'm completely surprised that there was no mention of The Exorcist. I think the vast majority of horror fans would agree that The Exorcist is the most frightening film of all time. It had an emotional effect on people that no horror film before or since has had. Many people were seeing psychiatrists and going back to church after seeing it. Omitting The Exorcist from this video is like showing a video on heavyweight boxers and omitting Muhammad Ali.

[@canadianfortrump4057]

Correction: There was a very brief mention of The Exorcist. My mistake, but it only lasted about 3 seconds. That's why I missed it the first time. I would have given The Exorcist a much more extensive review.

[@strumdynastygaming7217]

You did a fantastic job, and mentioned many gems, but I think leaving out an explicit mention of The Exorcist left a little to be desired as it was an immensely important and impactful film.

[@ironm3mm361]

I noticed this decade is itching for a renaissance. Recently watched "malignant" which had a 80s evil dead-ish pov chase and was obviously camp. Also watched "we need to do something" which is based off a book! Not a cheap remake of a ongoing franchise like film makers been doing.

[@TakeMeToYourCinema]

I'm all for this, but I do think you missed out The Innocents from 1961, which is the greatest horror film of all time. Keep up the good work though, I'm enjoying the channel!

I have never seen the trailer, but I just watched the trailer and its going straight to the top of my must watch list. Thanks.

I was really skeptical about how comprehensive it could be in 13 minutes, but it was excellent overall. But The Innocents definitely needs to be included.
