Sample text
The conclusion of these creature features was the first of the virtually laughter-free scare spoofs, Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948). Around the world horror movie production had virtually evaporated, but there were again decent efforts from the Spanish-speaking territories. Mexican filmmakers made monster combos like Universal did, such as Adolfo 26 Fernandez Bustamante's The Revolt Of The Ghosts (1949), in which the phantoms of Chopin, Paganini, Caruso, Tutankhamun, Don Quixote, The Crying Woman and The Wandering Jew join forces to stop a house being demolished.
And in the "Beauty and the Beast" fable King Kong (1933), starring Fay Wray,Willis 22 O'Brien's stop-motion model created the world's most famous ape, thanks to skilful mixing of exotic adventure and horror-tinged fantasy by Ernest B. Schoedsack and Merian C. Cooper. In the rest of the world, horror movies almost failed to develop at all, with other countries' film industries affected by civil wars, political turmoil and stricter censorship. But from Germany came THE HISTORY: OVER A HUNDRED Y E A R S Vampyr (1931).
Meanwhile assorted derivative psychopaths stalked numerous campsite/campus locations, in films including The Burning, Night School and The Boogeyman (all 1980). Sequels to all the horror hits, including the groundbreaking A Nightmare On Elm Street (1985, see Canon), became de rigueur, the open ending being seen as a legitimate narrative structure, and these follow-ups proliferated to a degree not seen since Universal's heyday in the Thirties. Meanwhile an explosion in explicit horror gave rise to heated, if usually uninformed, debates over films such as Don't Answer The Phone (1980), 43 THE HISTORY: OVER A HUNDRED YEARS for gross imagery, and Dressed To Kill (1980) by Brian De Palma (see Icons), for violence against women; the explosion was driven by more sophisticated, "the gore the merrier" special effects, which An American Werewolf In London (1981, see Canon) vividly showcased.
