Horror is a film genre seeking to excite emotional reaction from viewers by playing on the audience's main fears. Horror films often feature scenes that startle the viewer.
Horror films often deal with the viewer's nightmares, hidden fears, revulsions and terror of the unknown. Plots within the horror genre often involve a problem force, event, commonly of supernatural origin, into the everyday world. The main elements of a horror film include ghosts, aliens, vampires, werewolves, curses, satanism, demons, gore, torture, vicious animals, monsters, zombies, cannibals, and serial killers. But, on occasion horror films are not always terrifying.
The first credited horror film was made in the late 1890's by the film pioneer Georges Méliès and it was called Le Manoir du diable.
