[The origins of horror movies]
The oldest theme of horror movies was born from two literary works, "Frankenstein" and "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," both of which were made into films in 1908, but in terms of film history, it is generally believed that the origins of horror movies can be traced back to "German Expressionist films" (Expressionism), which began just after World War I. A typical example is "Dr. Caligari" (1919) directed by Robert Wiene, which has been called "the true blueprint of horror movies" and is said to have created the pattern of "mad doctor - monster - beautiful woman attacked." This was followed by "Nosferatu" (1922) directed by FW Murnau, the first full-scale film adaptation of "Dracula," an original novel by Bram Stoker.
