WrestlingSmark's Fave Five Horror Movies: The Golden Era (1910 - 1949)

[Barry Poppins]

Gather round the campfire and tell us a tale as old as time, a story of fear, excitement, and shivers galore. Some of the most famous books and pieces of literature based upon the horrors of the waking world and the intense panic of the imaginative mind have all found themselves on the Silver Screen, to shock audiences, and awe them into terrifying nightmares. Now, our wonderful users here at WrestlingSmarks will delve into the world of the fantastical and the spooky to find out just which film is this site's favorite of the Golden Era of Horror Films.

For those who may not know what is horror, and which is not, for the purposes of this and any upcoming lists, any movie that is considered "Horror", "Thriller" (See: Misery, Fatal Attraction, Cape Fear, etc.) or "Horror Comedy" are eligible for this list. Select your top five favorite films of the era; these films will be points based, with your #1 film being worth 50 points, and your #5 film being worth 10. The Golden Era of Horror will refer to a period of approximately forty-nine years, between 1910 and 1949 (For the purposes of this list, the Silent Era of 1910-1929 and the Golden Era of 1930-1949 have been comingled).

The countdown is set to begin on April 1st, 2023. Send in your movies via private message, and don't have too many nightmares, now~​

Running into that ancient argument of which version of Drac I like better - Lugosi as lead or that Spanish cinematography.

The Spanish version is absolutely fantastic and I wish more people have seen it.

Would absolutely love if @Booty By Jake and @Fuji Vice participated too with how awesome they are

If they don't I'm blocking them.

Try sending one now if you were having issues last night with it

I'll be sending in a list shortly. I'm more of a 80's/90's kind of horror fan, but the ones I have seen from the Golden Era are great, enough for a Top 5. Love some of the silent horror, especially Nosferatu. This will be a good opportunity to learn more about some other movies I should see from these years.
