1920: How The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1920) was the first psychological horror. 

Conrad Veidt was not only a brilliant actor of his era, but also a wonderful person. Unfortunately, there are very few like him.

Shutter Island is just a remake of Caligari, change my mind.

Well, he died two years later - I hope he managed to see it before the end, but it'd be cool if his prediction was right!

Neat. Never heard this before. Thanks for the cool info. HPL such a fatalist.

WOW never knew that!!!

The film that was considered a horror film is "The Haunted Castle" by george melies in 1896. Also check out the haunted house in 1908, I think they are both on RU-vid if you are Interested.

Haunted Castle was played for laughs, so I have trouble calling it horror. Caligari is the first great horror feature film and one of my all time favorites.

@@fredtheilig2710 "First great horror feature film" is the perfect name for Caligari! While L'Inferno from 1911 is a little less linear in plot, at least for that time, I would say it still counts as a horror film, making it the first horror feature. Student of Prague from 1913 I would say counts! Fear from 1917 has elements of horror but I don't think I'd take the leap to count it. Anyway, I guess all this is to say I agree, and check out these earlier films if you haven't!

@@onehundredyearsofcinema you are me. Hahaha. You should hear me mispronouncing names. I say Martin Scorsese's name wrong every time.

One Hundred Years of Cinema i find it especially funny cos oh nailed the German pronunciation of “Wiene”, which I thought was pronounced ween

Hi, some of the clips are taken from the clips are taken from the Kino Restoration that was released in 2014. They did such an amazing job cleaning up the footage you can hardly tell the film is almost 100 years old! If you are looking to pick up a copy this is the version I would recommend.

Germany the cradle of poets and thinker and ... @@onehundredyearsofcinema

One Hundred Years of Cinema man, I didn’t notice til you pointed it out, I forgot how poor quality most other copies are. It looks really gorgeous.

> I did study 'O' level (as it was then) British & European History many moons ago. So much was covered, I still have my handwritten exercise books & can recall bits & pieces. Your economic statement relating to the exchange mark to the dollar from 1918 - 1923 is quite staggering, but at the same time very interesting. > Fact from my school days: A relatively new class was computer studies, it was a small village comprehensive school with only 500 pupils in 1981-1984, my previous school was 1,500 largest in the county. Sorry back to computer studies, all we had back then was a BBC micro-processor, & ZX81 smaller than a PlayStation today. How times & technology have changed?

They turned to a man they didn't understand? Who? Don't leave me hanging!

John Smith Edgy as fuck

Yeah, pretty direct connection. Instead of tilted houses, the surreal was conveyed in pastel cookie cutters houses of suburbia.

Also it's pronounced "cheh-zar-ay" lmao

Also Guillermo del Toro -- pronounced "Gee-Yair-Moe"

+Donnie Huynh I've sure to check out the restored Kino version!
