The History and the Genre of Horror

The history of horror

The first ever noticeable horror film created was Georges Mélés “The house of the devil” it was made in 1890’s. George Mélés made other horror films and is one of the founders of the genre of horror in films.

Since George Mélés there have been thousands of horror films made, but in the 1910 – 1920 is were horror films really started becoming more popular, such great horrors as “The Phantom of the Opera” and “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”.

In the 1930 – 1940 the Americans started producing horror films, coming up with horror films such as “Dracula”, “Frankenstein”, “The Invisible Man” and “I Walked with a Zombie”. All of these types of monsters are still very popular. With Dracula been a vampire like the ever popular “Twilight”.

The 1950 – 1960 we saw one of the greatest horrors of all time, “psycho”, had one of the most popular scenes in horror history. This scene was so great mainly because of the excellent camerawork, mise en scene, sound and editing of the piece to create a horrifying effect, terrifying the audience. We also saw zombie in more depth with the classic “night of the living dead” and the creation of aliens and mummy’s.

In the 1970 – 1980 horror films finally became “mainstream” with popular films such “Alien”, Texas Chainsaw Massacre”, “Halloween”, “Nightmare on Elm Street” “The Evil Dead” and “Jaws”. Audience in the 1980’s found themselves enjoying the thrill and excitement of terrifying themselves half to death. This put a lot of pressure on horror film writers so try and make the audience run out of the cinema crying.

In the 1990, the craze for horror films started to die down, with only sequels to original horror classics such as “Jaws 2”, “Halloween 2” and “Nightmare of Elm Street 2” been released. But there were some new ideas for example, “Child’s Play” was a horror with a twist, the murders or monster of the film was also the weakest.

In the 2000’s, the type of horror films, which were released were more torturous. This is were the bad guy or monster tortured it’s victim. Such films as “Saw” started this off because of it been horrifyingly clever in its storey line adding twist after twist to keep the audience on the edge of there seats. Overall the 2000’s were full of remakes of classic’s or films with cleverly constructed storey lines.

The Genre of Horror

In anytime typical horror film, it will have a bad guy who is trying to kill the main character, or a group of people trying to kill the main character. Usually the bad guy gets killed at the dead by the main character and everything ends happily for the main character.

It is always set in low-lit places and the main sets are the bad guys laree and the main characters safe house. The sound will usually be quiet and eerie to create tension or loud and drum beats for a chase scene.

The bad guy will always have is own costume to define hime, such as Jason having his hock mask, scream having his grim reaper costume etc. the main character will usually be set out to be venerable at the start wearing typical clothes, but at the end looking more and more powerful usually with a costume change to make them look more powerful such as, “Aliens” when riply having loads of guns strapped to her.

The Synopsis

Below is the early idea in which my group film is based.


When a young women is chased by a mysterious figure

Initial Idea from Group Member Adam Spence

Scene 1 – Tracking shot of woman. Woman is running down corridors. Some closes up of facial expression of shock and fear. Woman will keep looking back to find nothing (eye line match)

Scene 2 – Woman goes to hide in a doorway. There will be an eye line match of her looking down the corridor were she just came from, this is a dark figure emerges. The man is wearing a long dark coat and a hat (a long shot will be used). He stops for a moment and starts walking towards her, down the corridor. Camera will go back to a close up of the woman sobbing, looking up (as if to say “why me”). She will look again and the man will be gone.

Scene 3 – She will breathe a sign of relief. Then a gloved hand with be put over her mouth, her eyes will widen.

Scene 4 – Another woman will wake up from a dream looking panicked and hot. She will look around her bedroom to find nothing. Then she will lye back on her bed in a daze (a medium shot will be used for this entire scene).

In the new dawn of 2010, a new horror arises

For the main character both women and mysterious male have there stories clouded in mystery.

Name: Working Title: The Corridor

Analysis on the opening scene to "The Ring"

In this opening scene of "the ring" directed by Gore Verbinskei and was made in 2002. We see a

typical americain teenage girl inside a typical americain household. It is set like this to make the

audience feel more scared through the feeling it could happen inside there very own house as well.

The lighting used in this scene is all low key lighting, it is meant to be set in the night time. This is

stereotypical of a horror film because a lot of people are afraid of the dark, so a lot of directors use

this to there advantage.

The sound used in this scene used to create an atmosphere of horror, is the unnerving sound of a

static television turning on by itself. A close up of the character looking terrified at the television

building up suspense. she turns the television off by the remote and starts to walk, until the

television turns itself back on. Increasing the fear and confusion to the audience. the female character

suddenly walks to the television and looks dead at it, with her watery eyes. in her panic she turns off

the television by the plug in the wall. the television turns off. suddenly a groan coming from behind

the character suprises her. she walks into the kitchen to find an opened fridge door, that she closed

earlier, adding more panic to the audience. there is a close-up of the character look bewildered, all

of a sudden goes to the staircase and walks up it, quickly.

there is a pool of water on the floor, she walks slowly towards it looking puzzled. the audience then

finds out that the water is coming from a door-handle. she then grasps the handle and confidently opens

the door. she looks directly at the television screen. the are two zooms of the television screen showing

a well and a zoom up of the character screaming. there is a sudden flash of images which the

audience would be unable to make out.

Overall, this opening scene of "The Ring", is very mysterious and frightening, it makes the audience

want to see more to find out what is actually happening, but also run away incase the reason is to

horrifying to find out.
