The Best Horror Movie of Every Decade in American Film History According to MovieWeb

"According to New York Film Academy, the first horror film originated in France and was entitled Le Manoir Du Diable (The House of the Devil). Despite this early film being silent and only three minutes in length, the short deserves some credit. Before Universal's monsters dominated the silver screens, a series of short films were released in the 1910s that focused their attention on gothic literary works. Horror as a genre is ever-changing, especially in films that root their plots in cultural and political commentary. Modern directors learn from those of the past, and the evolution of special effects is always improving. Each decade can be defined by an iconic slasher villain or specific film. Horror has come a long way since Universal's classic monster movies that date back to the early-1930s. Here are the best horror movies of every decade in American film history." - movieweb.com
