Talk:List of first horror films by country

Obviously wrong examples
What I have seen on the list is that it features some exaples that are quite obviously wrong or at least doubtful:
 * Poland: "Lokis" from 1970 is predated by "Pan Twardowski" (Howarth and Workman list it as the earliest horror film from the country) and the "Dybbuk" would most likely be the first talking horror film, followed by "Zdradzieckie serce", "Matka Joanna od Aniołów" and dozens of made-for-TV short/medium-length films made in the 1960s
 * Romania: "Trenul fantoma" (listed by Howarth and Workman) was made 60 years before "Domnișoara Christina"
 * Yugoslavia: "Leptirica" MIGHT be the first full-on horor, but there are other "contenders", such as "Nije bilo uzalud", "Majstor i Margarita" and "Mrtva lađa". Also, several other TV films were released in 1973, so exact dates would be needed in order to proclaim "Leptirica" as the first
 * Spain: silent films were made, such as "Don Juan Tenorio"
 * Czechoslovakia: "Noční děs" was make more than 20 years before Golem, and several films were released between the two
 * Sweden: there is "En sann historia från Fläsian eller Gubben X, kikaren och albusken" from 1911 and also "Herr Arnes pengar" from 1919
 * Austria-Hungary: there is a version of "Trilby" from 1914
 * Denmark: several films from 1909/1910 might be considered: "Dorian Grays Portræt", "Den graa dame" and "Den skæbnesvangre opfindelse"
 * Italy: films such as "Nozze in casa Scivoloni" predate the Dante adaptation
 * United States: numerous short films were shot before 1908

I think this accounts for about the half of the list and I haven't even gone outside of Europe/USA. StjepanHR (talk) 02:53, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
