Horror films are designed to frighten and to invoke our hidden worst fears, often in a terrifying way while captivating and entertaining us. Horror films feature a wide range of styles, from the earliest silent Nosferatu classic, to the monsters and deranged humans of today. They are often combined (hybirds) with science fiction. The fantasy and supernatural film genres are not usually synonymous with the horror genre. There are many sub-genres of horror: slasher, teen terror, serial killers, satanic, Dracula, Frankenstein, etc.
What was frightening back in the days of the silent movies and what is frightening now has changed. As society changes so do our fears.
