History

Historical Context

The horror genre evolved significantly from the 1960s onward, with films like "Psycho" (1960) and "Night of the Living Dead" (1968) introducing psychological depth and social commentary. "Carrie" (1976), directed by Brian De Palma, further established horror's cultural relevance, grossing over $33 million. Today, the genre continues to thrive, as seen in Netflix's upcoming series inspired by these classics, reflecting its lasting appeal.
