The Horror Timeline

The Horror Timeline contains many great horror events such as Frankenstein which was written in 1818 by Mary Shelley, obviously a horror classic! And Dracula written in 1897 by Bram Stoker, two horror classics which were made in to films and made horror history, And America in the late 1910's made cinemas after the First World War profits from selling ammunition and etc and then the horror movie timeline began.

1920's - Nothing spectacular appeared for the horror genre expect for the first ever vampire film Nosferatu which was very similar to Dracula who could blame them for trying to copy the Dracula story.

1930's - Horror started.. 80 million went to the cinema on a weekly basis that was 65% of the US population, in 1931 Dracula was made, King Kong in 1933 and then the Bride of Frankenstein in 1935 horror finally appeared to show it's true colours.

1940's - Horror fell, it was only a America genre trying to expand but refused by others it wasn't horrors year or 10 years, The Wolf Man made in 1941 and a year later Cat Woman appeared to make a profit of $4m, the genre of horror needed a boost.

1950's - Again, Horror struggled to come on top but down on bottom the WW2 has ended and Horror advancing to make coloured films, Godzilla a horror classic made in 1954, I Was A Teenage Frankenstein made in 1957 I would expect Hammer studio made (sequel) and The Tingler in 1959.

1960's - Horror experimenting to create gold, Horror seems back on track and is making a hit straight away to the early 1960's, Psycho made in 1960, The Birds was made in 1963 (Nature gone out of control), Blood Feast, horror looks horrific once again.

1970's - Horror on top form as horror got horrific! In 1973 the scariest movie voted The Exorcist the true definition of the horror genre, Jaws made in 1975 (Nature out of control expanding from The Birds), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre made in 1974 and then in 1978 Halloween was created a great 10 years for Horror.

1980's - Technology has finally become advanced enough to show the Horror lovers what they want, The American Werewolf in London made in 1981, A Nightmare on Elm St created in 1984 a great horror classic and Fright Night made in 1985, the horror genre is now a popular genre for movies.

1990's - Being scared turnt in to gory bloody mess (All Final Destination's & SAW) a good example but 1990's was a different time for Horror, Jacob's Ladder made in 1990, Se7en created in 1995 and then Scream made in 1996 another horror classic in our day and age.

2000's - At the beginning of 2000 Horror was hard to sell because of 9/11 no one was interested in the horror genre at this time but wasn't long before this popular genre repopulated with interest from it's horror lovers, Final Destination created in 2000 and 5 sequels later made in 11 years time, 28 Days Later created in 2002 and The Grudge in 2004, Horror is a fantiasque (Quote from the French in 1950's) genre but for the future will it keep raising or will it run out of ideas and drop?

For me personally, It sounds that 1970's was the time to be alive to watch all it's horrors or even in the 1930's where people have never witnessed horror movies and experienced this new fright they dont have in reality, and my guess for the badest time for Horror was in the 1950's.

I think the new version of the trailer is better but the orginal will do, voted the scariest horror, enjoy.
