Monsters and evil creatures existed merely in our imaginations before cinema began, when filmmakers brought these scary fantasies to life.
Horror movies aim to terrify, cause dread and disgust, and to awaken our deepest, darkest fears. Focusing on the dark side of life, on the forbidden, and on supernatural events, they deal with our primal fears of the irrational and the unknown.
Gruesome zombies, gore and apocalyptic themes are key ingredients in the monster movie genre. Often cheesy and goofy, these classics thrill, captivate and entertain us, letting us have fun being scared while enjoying the fantasy.
