/r/ClassicHorror
A Community That Celebrates Classic Horror Movies of the Silver Screen.
There's no hard and fast definition of "Classic Horror"; some consider to be anything prior to the end of World War II, some believe it's anything produced prior to the creation of the VCR, others find it more an atmosphere and style than chapter of cinematic history.
Regardless of how you define it, this is intended as a community to share an appreciation of pre-modern horror, from Ufa to Universal, American International to Amicus, RKO to Hammer and everything in between.

I donโt want to overstay my welcome, but my watercolor painting of Lily Munster was well received here recently, so I thought Iโd share one I just did of Grandpa. Every Halloween season I like to do a portrait or two of a Hollywood horror icon. Happy (almost) Halloween!

Early makeup test with Eileen Dietz for Regan in The Exorcist, applied by Dick Smith. As we know, Regan's makeup was changed, and this became the split-second images of Pazuzu aka Captain Howdy. Any time this face flashes on the screen it still makes my stomach jump

Looking for feminist/non-sexualized female monsters in film
I'm currently doing my undergrad thesis on feminist philosophies found in the Final Girl trope and monsters but I'm having a hard time finding a lot of female monsters that aren't overly sexualized and are shown through a more feminist lens. The only examples I have right now are Bride of Frankenstein, Alien, and Abagail but I would like to have a few more. If anyone has suggestions that would be helpful!

Thereโs nothing like the original. Itโs because of this movie (watched for the first time when I was 14 and babysitting nonetheless) that I grew up to write, produce, act in horror films.๐๐ช๐ฟ

Elsa Lanchester was born on this day in 1902
While Lanchester played two roles in 1935โs โBride of Frankenstein,โ it was her performance as the title character that burned itself into our cultural consciousness. And she did that with no dialogue and just three minutes of screen time.

Letting Evil Win - The Wolf Man (1941)
I've just made an analysis on The Wolf Man, a classic horror film which, in my view, explores man's own role in allowing evil to fester within himself, and eventually win entirely. Although Larry Talbot is depicted as a victim in this film, and audiences are meant to sympathize with his plight, I find great value in examining the ways in which he himself is to blame for his own loss of humanity - so that we may never make the same mistakes.
Please check it out if you are interested! And Happy Halloween!

The scene when Teri McMinnโs character (Pam) tries to escape the house and Leatherface pulls her back inside is still one of the most terrifying moments in cinema.
