The horror genre originated from Latin terms meaning "to shudder" and was present in early mythologies featuring monsters. While the modern horror genre began taking shape in the 18th century, the first horror films emerged in the late 19th century as "spook tales". Some key early films included Le Manoir du Diable (1896) and those produced by Universal in the 1930s like Dracula and Frankenstein. Common conventions in horror include using settings like abandoned buildings, handheld camerawork, point-of-view shots, lighting/color contrasts, and iconic props or villains.History of horror ppt

- 1. History Of The Horror Genre Inderpal Rahi
- 2. Definition An intense feeling of fear, shock, or disgust: children screamed in horror Middle English: via Old French from Latin horror, from horrere 'tremble, shudder -Oxford Dictionary
- 3. Origins 1764- A supernatural novel was written by Horace Walpole (The Castle of Otranto). This was the starting point for the horror genre. 1794- Writer Ann Radcliffe slightly modified Horace's Style of writing and published The Mysteries of Udolpho. 1796- Writer Matthew Gregory Lewis published The Monk- and at this point horror started coming into its own. Early 1800- The famous writer Mary Shelley Released Frankenstein (a novel that is still being read till this day).
- 4. The First Horror Film During the nineteenth centaury short horror films started to come out, these movies were commonly silent. A filming technique known as spirit photography, this technique involved using a process called double exposure which made it look like their was a ghost. 1895- Le Squelette joyeux, was a short horror produced by the Lumiere brothers. Viewers showed a lot of attention to this film which kick-started the horror film genre. 1919- The famouse Cabinet Of Dr Cligan was released, this film had a huge impact on horror audiences. The film used non diegetic sound, which transformed the murder scene in the film.
- 5. 1930s From the 1930s and onwards horror films started having dialog, this made horror films even more popular. 1931- The box office hit Dracula was released. This was the first horror film to have a full dialog so the director and the cast did not know the correct way of executing It. 1932- The Mummy was released it was the first film to incorporate ancient evil into its plot, the film was very slow for a horror film, which might be a strange concept to modern-day horror viewers but when it was released the slow pace was useful. 1933- Considered to be one of the greatest monster films of all time King Kong was released, it used clever clay animation effects to give , the film more of a realistic edge.
- 6. Sub/Hybrid Genres Many horror films have sub-genres and hybrid genres. Sub genres are a sub category of a specific genre, where as hybrid genres are made up of a number of genres. Franchises are when multiple films are produced under one name but are directed or produced by different people. Popular franchise's Evil Dead Final Destination Paranormal Activity Jaws Blade
- 7. Monsters Monsters have been a key element in horror films for a long time, they are generally used to represent the fears of humanity at that time period, this in my opinion is why horror has been a popular genre for a long time (it changes with society), for example zombies in previous horror films have been portrayed as evil and with their only goal being to multiply, however in recent films zombies have been portrayed in a positive light, being shown to have feelings and the ability to make friends. Types of monsters in horror films Witches Werewolf's Clowns Dolls Children Aliens Zombies Demons
- 8. How the horror genre has changed Things tend to change over time, and in this case the audience expectation, as technology has advanced in cinema the audience expectation has increased for example through the use of computer generated graphics we can now make monsters and vampires look realistic, in addition to this the modern day audience tolerates violence however this was not the case, back in the early days of horror too much violence would of not been accepted.
