All these movies can be denoted as prototypical horror films. They are characteristic productions, which shaped the conditions and meaning of the genre itself. Besides their prototypical aspects, like dialogue-parts, narrative and filmic structures or the valuing of gender, all these movies have been produced within a few years and reflect the fears and problems of two troubled decades.

The history of the horror film is chequered, but these days its relationship with Hollywood is even more troubled. The golden era for the horror movie can be defined only by personal preference, from black and white classics such as Murnau's "Nosferatu" (1922), to the atmospheric suburban America of the 70s in John Carpenter's "Halloween".
