@gccruiz8224The Exorsist?
@loboserpienteAn 8 minute history of horror. You sure skipped over some stuff.
@WickedTester176Not a single word about the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. Can you believe that?
@albertwells8503Why would you just completely skip over the decade of the 80’s?!
The Shining, The Thing, An American Werewolf in London, A Nightmare of Elm Street, Hellraiser, The Lost Boys. I think this decade deserved at least a 30 second mention in your video.
Ah, but you forgot what is considered to be the beginning of horror cinema: the German Expressionalist era; mainly The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Nosferatu
@hankhill2889I’m actually writing a speech on the invention of horror movies and this video is a great source
@seth3812Correction: Systematic racism is a perceived fear. If the horror genre is a reaction then the opportunity was missed by a half-century.
@HateUScostheyaintUSLol
@charlesrozario309How many of yall like the narrators voice and feel they should do more with his voice haha
@mickeyj60555:00 what film was that?
@mrflipperinvader7922The Witch is an amazing horror movie. Shame you didn't mention it, because it's incredibly unique, and masterful in every way. It didn't underestimate its audience. I hope to see more horrors like it in the future.
@justanotherhappyhumanist8832Hereditary should get more attention
@LegoLad01The ring ??
@kindarabaay24255:50 real horror there
@bela_39152:29 so that’s what movie my grandma is talking about this is probably the reason she kinda doesn’t like taking a shower at night or something
@Nikotine.420Check the book
Sacred Terror by Douglas Cowan
Orphan has to be the best movie everh :))
@808R8Do somebody else consider It follows as one of the few good horror movies of this decade?
@organos63the shining??
@graceross3886HIT OR MISS I GUESS THEY NEVER MISS HUH YOU GOT A BOYFRIEND I BET HE DOESN’T KISS YA 💋 HE GONNA FIND ANOTHER GIRL LIKE HE WOULDN’T MISS YA HE WILL HIT THE DAB LIKE MIA KHALIFA
@jisungssimp2132What about Hellraiser?
@bunkerhoneymoon2208LE MANOIR DU DIABLE ISNT PRONOUNCED LIKE THAT LMAOOO
@antheeia3944They aren't scary when we watch those horror movies, we're just hungry
@dxniellxaudiosGonna be cruelty honest here. The newer 2017 “It” really sucked. It was funny and amusing to watch but it shouldn’t fall under the horror category
@UrMom-hn5fvYou forgot Shrek
@chaddydaddy7385Emily Rose?
@joanjune4381the conjuring 2 is quite scary
@Checkyoselfb4No talk about carrie? Oh, ok.
@2wuvNewer horror movies ain't getting scarier the new halloween movie and the new IT movie were awful horror films.
@kloule6369Why would you just completely skip over the decade of the 80’s?!
The Shining, The Thing, An American Werewolf in London, A Nightmare of Elm Street, Hellraiser, The Lost Boys. I think this decade deserved at least a 30 second mention in your video.
“So even if critics do not embrace horror the same way they do Jennifer Lawrence films...”
THAT BURN!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
great video its a crime how little views in currently has
@jordanmulkey1853You forgot Nemo
@marlucmiPOV horror has some cool indie films. Indie films still have that horror feel.
@WlakAmongUsProCracked made a real nice vid like this
@UltimotomasinoWhat a lame and lazy effort. Mostly excludes European films. Probably half of the movies mentioned aren’t even horror films but thrillers.
@rixx4628th !!
@nooraxstre5611You literally forgot an entire genre of horror movies: supernatural horror.
@lunajayde_xx'Horror films have terrorized and delighted fans for *hundreds of years*' - sure fam
@helvete_ingres4717Really 24 comments? I’ll be 25th then.
@cherryblossom4365What about the babadook?!
@antivaxxnugs7859Oh god, I hope 'get out' isn't a sign of things to come, it's truly truly bloody terrible! It's a comedy and nothing more.
Though they skipped things like Incidióus and the conjuring, which were a move away to a new type of horror.
