Halloween is the perfect time to sit down and look back at horror history to see how it all began. When was the horror genre actually born and how did it come together? Watch this video for a nostalgic trip through history… if you dare!

Correction:
27:46 Carl Lamelle's last name is pronounced LEM-LEE, not LUH-MEL... ironically, one of the easiest names to pronounce of all the names in this video. I have no explanation other than sleep deprivation while trying to get this video out before Halloween!
