It’s another episode of our Know Your Roots: History of Horror Series, but this time we are recapping the last 50 years of horror, before we forge ahead into our next decade, which will be the 1970s.
We will do a recap of major historical events and movements that influenced the horror genre from the 1920s to 1960s, and the films we have already talked about in prior episodes. We will then discuss a few hidden gems from around the globe that are also great representations of what was influencing horror movies of their time periods; the films up for discussion are A Page of Madness (1926), Dracula’s Daughter (1936), Gaslight (1944) and At Midnight I’ll Take Your Soul (1964).
Enjoy and welcome to our dark side…
