Horror

Horror is another time honored genera that was around at the dawn of movies. The king of the silent movie was Lon Chaney he is widely considered to be the best actor of the silent movie era. He stared in the 1923 adaptation of The Hunchback Of Notre Dame marking the beginning of the universal horror movies. Two years later in 1925 he would star in The Phantom Of The Opera. After his death his son Lon Chaney Jr. would pick up his mantle in 1941 with Wolf Man. He would go on to star as the "Wolfman" in every universal film of the 1940s from then on. By the 1960s the Universal horror monsters had lost their popularity but Dracula would go on to have many more adaptations. A new crease to the genera was found in zombie films one in particular The Night Of The Living Dead (1968) while it did not invent the Zombie it created the popular modren zombie of today.
