What's fascinating to me is watching Roger Ebert talk about how not plausible the actions of the character in The Thing are, but in a post 2020 world it's become apparent how realistic it really is. In general there's a reaction to horror when characters do not act in rational or intelligent ways, but real life goes to show when danger and paranoia are involved people generally do act questionably.

Probably because it is only students that would believe the far Left narrative running through this. Hilarious how 'white protagonists' and 'black victim characters' is mentioned ad infinitum, yet NOT A WORD about the lack of diversity in Asian cinema..... not any other ethnicity onscreen EVER......not mentioned at all...... funny that. Must just loathe white people...

I think the movie "Cabin In The Woods" is a pretty good representation of a horror film that is self aware but yet has enough twist to keep it interesting and unsure of where it's going while still keeping the suspension cranked to 10

It's ironic how horror movies were considered lower art to actors and audiences, when in reality they are the pinnacle of human nature and film making. Look at the biggest films in history, JAWS, Exorcist, and all the Universal Classic Monsters. Horror is the genre that explores human nature down to the primal level. I love it, along with millions of you now, and forever to come. What a great job you did on this doc !!!

King King..People nowadays can’t understand that the Mountain Gorilla was only discovered thirty one years earlier in 1902 and many didn’t even know they existed or knew what one looked like. It was a newly discovered beast in the eyes of millions around the world a world where the printed page was how literally the entire planet got their news. The last silent movie came out three years prior to the release of King Kong..that means no TV and many small cinemas outside of major cities still played silent movies daily and this invention called the talkies back then was something very special and still new. The most controversial picture ever made was a silent movie “The Birth Of A Nation” but back then it wasn’t because things were way,way different

I love it. At 41:12 you referenced a Dexter's Laboratory episode called "Slightly Psycho." After seeing that episode, I changed my Truck Driver/CB Handle to "Pslytely Psycho." I posted it in large chrome letters on the side of my Frieghtliner and have used it for every login that allowed pseudonyms ever since, including my bank. Although I already had decided to like the video, at that point you earned my sub! Awesome! As you didn't mention it, one of my personal favorites from the silent era is 1922's Häxan. Absolutely goofy and strange. I have odd tastes, like 1964's The Flesh Eaters (but only with the Nazi references, or else it makes no sense) and 1972's ultra low budget Invasion of the Blood Farmers. Poorly acted, stupid characters, Druid princesses, a perennial favorite of mine....it was also very hard to find a copy of for my collection. Toss in 1970's Equinox with Asmodeus as a park ranger and 1959's Kon Tiki the Immortal Monster you see where my head is.... Pslytely Psycho obviously....

I think that your omission during the ending of The Night Of The Living Dead that Ben is shot because they think he's a zombie, NOT because he's black, is a bit of a misjustice of the film. They see him in the window from far away, they say that there's another one in there, and kill and burn the body of what they believe is a zombie, it has zero to do with his race. To me that makes the ending far more tragic for Ben as a character. He does everything he can to not only survive, but help the others survive, he ends up being the only one to actually make it, only for it to be undone by an overly aggressive zombie-killing squad not checking their targets. He dies over a mistake, over ignorance, not just becase he's black. Overall, mind-blowing video about the full history of Horror as a genre in film. I consider myself a pretty big nerd for Horror, and I learnt a good amount from this, so thank you!

However this covered many aspects I've seen covered before, gave me loads of info. I wasn't aware of and took a very original approach in the way it drew the connections and studied the films. Also presented in a flawless and entertaining manner which made it a joy to watch. Can't recommend this highly enough and for geeks like me it is pure gold. Many thanks.

1:03:40 I have to disagree here, becuse cinematically Giallos ARE among the best of cinema. Besides Film Noir they are one of the few genres that really indulge in all techniques of classical film making. The dubbing seems to be a big concern only for Americans. Most other countries are used to either dubbing or subtitles, and many countries consider voice actors as part of the art. "The lip movement doesn't match" is simply nothing I even realize any more.

What a fantastic, sweeping doc on the history of horror in film. Well put together, well researched, insightful, interesting and it’s apparent that it was made with great love and respect for the horror genre. Also your speaking voice is very pleasant which, w/ a running time length such as this, is a must have or headaches often ensue. 😂 Yes you left out camp horror as a sub genre almost completely, but hey, nobody’s perfect, right? Really wanted 80/90’s camp classics such as Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness, Motel Hell, Death Becomes Her, and Deranged, which are films that pretty much birthed and/or revitalized the sub genre, to get some love thrown their way. Maybe make a second part? Plenty left to talk about in that pleasant voice of yours that is sure not to give one a headache. 😉Edit: AUDITION is in my top five greatest most favorite films of all time. Forget just in horror, but ALL TIME PERIOD, any genre, any year. It’s a masterpiece. Seen it hundreds of times. Have owned the deluxe two disc box set for like 18 years, and I still watch it to this day. It never gets old. Could talk about it, down to the lighting and the shot angle choices, all day.

One short had a young couple who wrecked off a bridge and the girl would catch rides after her death but never make it to her home. The second one had a weird sound coming out of a well. The family dog fell into the well and the dad was lowered in to retrieve the dog. When he was lifted out, a picture fell off a wall. That made the wife immediately know something was wrong. Of course the dad was insane when he was lifted out. I’ve always wanted to watch it again, but can’t seem to find it. Hopefully you can help since you seem so well informed about horror movies👍
