Description

We have reached the point in which motion pictures can now celebrate their 100th anniversaries. It was during the Roaring Twenties when films, shown at opulent movie palaces, really took off and explored the different genres. Among those genres was horror, and the decade saw cinematic pioneers, such as Lon Chaney and F.W. Murnau, put classics on the screen for the first, and in some unfortunate cases, only time: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), Nosferatu (1922), Häxan (1922), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923), The Phantom of the Opera (1925), Faust (1926), and London After Midnight (1927).
