Research: History Horror 1950-1970

During these years is when horror started becoming more personal. the reason why i feel this way is that they started to show everyday people turning into psychopaths and i think this made it much more scarier. also Zombie films where developed even further and improved and monster films like Godzilla where made.


godzilla 1954
godzilla is a film about a huge dinosaur who was accidently created after a nucleur explosion which caused it to grow and cause cauos. many other films came after this based around its idea such as jurasic park and godzilla remakes also from this king kong was even adapted as their become a rivalry as the two beasts were so big this is shown in king kong.

pshyco 1960
pshyco is one of the first horror films where an ordinary man is shown as the killer/moster in the film. this is very good and a huge change as it show people a more normal film which actually could be try making it even more scarier than others.

Blood feast 1963
plot An Egyptian caterer kills various women in suburban Miami to use their body parts to bring to life a dormant Egyptian goddess, while an inept police detective try to track him down. this is also one of the first splatter killing movies in which a lot of gore is shown as people are getting cut into pieces. this also could be the bases of films like saw hostel the human centipede etc

Night of the living dead 1968
this film is based around a group of teenagers who go into a farmhouse and then zombies come out after them. im my opinion these films are not that very good as they are quite pedictable as they are nont that complex but people still enjoy them as they become excited as they have to escape from areas.
