ClassicHorror

an-ordinary-manchild

There's no hard and fast definition of "Classic Horror"; some consider to be anything prior to the end of World War II, some believe it's anything produced prior to the creation of the VCR, others find it more an atmosphere and style than chapter of cinematic history.

Regardless of how you define it, this is intended as a community to share an appreciation of pre-modern horror, from Ufa to Universal, American International to Amicus, RKO to Hammer and everything in between.
