The History of Horror
I am writing a paper on the history of horror for my English Comp class, and I was wondering if you guys had any good books, documentaries, websites, etc. that might help. Anything you guys could offer I would appreciate.
Thanks! Laurie

I did this for my final grade in World History ^-^;;. You really don't need anything in particular. Google horror history and you'll get more than enough. Take my word on it, pick your search engine and the paper will do itself.

Do not listen, Lostwy! The first Vampire movie [And 1st horror movie overall] was made by George Melies in 1896, it was 2 minutes long and was called Le Manoir du Diable, or The Devil's Castle in english. There may have been horror movies before this, but this is generally accepted as the 1st

Thomas Edison's Frankenstein was like fifteen minutes long or something. Kinda like my movies to have a beginning, plot development, then a conclusion. That was more of a 'let's see if this works' screen test than a movie to me though it probably was pretty important.
edit for the Nosferatu thing - I still don't consider something that's less than at least half an hour, no matter how old it is a movie.
