As the horror historians that we all are, it\u2019s always fascinating to look back at where it all began. Fans often point to the 1930s and the Universal Studios classics as \u201cthe beginning,\u201d but horror was already there long before then\u2014even if no one was necessarily calling these movies horror films yet. In this episode, we\u2019re going to dig into the 1910s and 1920s to look not only at the films being made, but also at what was happening in the world around them and how those events may have influenced and changed what audiences were seeing on screen. Even if silent films aren\u2019t necessarily your favorites, maybe hearing some of this horror history will make you want to give them another try. Who knows? Maybe this time around you\u2019ll see something different\u2014or, at the very least, learn a little more about the genre we all love.
