Episode 24: The First Ten Horror Movies Ever Made


Listen Later

Our resident cinema expert Lorenzo has returned to drop some film history down upon you! Did you know that this year is the horror genre's 125th birthday? Neither did he until the start of this episode! In a tribute to what many argue is the greatest film genre of all time, Lorenzo discusses the first ten horror movies ever to be recorded. With the earliest coming from 1896, these films are experimental, somewhat comedic shorts that paved the way for all horror to follow. What makes these films spooky is that they were produced during the silent film age, meaning that no audio was utilized. Some of these films involved screaming, people acting like lunatics, clowns, crazy dancing, gigantic creatures, and terrifying inanimate objects come to life: imagine seeing all of that but not hearing it? SCARY! Hear Lorenzo's thoughts on the film descriptions mixed with his expertise on film studies as he anxiously counts down the arrival of season two of Outer Banks! Class is in session on today's episode of The Evil and Eerie Podcast!
