Talk:History of horror films

Article creation
This is the expanded work that I've moved from the article Horror film. The horror film article was basically a bit too long as it was, and needed pruning, so on a talk page discussion, it's been moved here. Andrzejbanas (talk) 14:34, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * great work! As per our discussion on Talk:Horror film, how would you feel about adding a globalize tag? Arcahaeoindris (talk) 11:43, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I think we should establish what specifically is lacking in the Globalize context here. Like, if you look at those "List of horror films" articles, they are predominantly American and British productions (with occasional waves of Japanese and Italian films). I think we should establish the kind of things that might be missing in these article before we add the tag, that way, we know what we are doing to try and solve it instead of just playing guessing games.

 * Good idea. Broadly, coverage of horror film history outside of Europe and America is what I meant. Horror films in Bollywood, one of the largest film industries, for example would be a key one to include. Horror films in many Asian countries (from my limited research) are also heavily inspired by the respective folklore and beliefs in each culture, so for instance that could be nice to include in the "early influences" section.

 * Hmmm. I'd agree but as ...it's going to get tricky! Like, as we open up in our paragraph the timeline of horror is not very linear, so I'm not sure if we should include that towards the sections where these countires start to actively make their own horror films, or put in an early influence section. It could get confusing. I think as we flesh out the "Regional sections" as we are doing now, it'll be easier to clip and edit some prose into this article, as I have done recently with the information about New French Extremity horror films, and how they are somewhat related to the "Torture Porn" (these names man) trends.

History section
I have question about this section, which also applies to the same section on the parent article; horror film. See Talk:Horror film. Thanks -  wolf  18:44, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

Typo
The article includes the word "drams" where it should say "dramas", in the early influences section. Editing is locked so I can't fix it. 67.160.53.2 (talk) 23:23, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
