Director: J. Thayer Drouet

A work with a special position in history, which was adapted from the world's first science fiction novel and later put on the screen many times. Its KB also lies in its epoch-making KB. Scientists pieced together a "person" from different parts of different corpses, and used the electric energy of lightning to give life to that "person" in the night of thunder and lightning.

vampire (1922)

Director: F.W. Munau

Starring: Schlaich

Country: Germany

No matter how elegant the two handsome vampires in Interview with Vampires at Night, we can't forget Nosferatu, the first vampire in the world. This is Munao's most well-known work, and it is also a classic silent film with high status. Nosferatu's eerie shape, the mysterious effect caused by light and shadow, and the exquisite and unique design of scenery and costumes are all examples of KB films. It has a far-reaching influence on later generations, and has been remake by numerous directors, including the famous German director Weiner Herzog's Nosferatu in 1979 and Toni Elias Mohiga's direct conjecture about Munao's experience in filming vampire.

Director: Karl Frand

Starring: Boris Karev

Country: USA

The first film of Universal Picture's classic series Mummy. This is the first "Mummy" filmed by Boris Karlov, who just finished Frankenstein, and German cinematographer Karl Frand. Although this film is very short, it has created a strong artistic conception of mummies. From the beginning of this film, the film industry has cultivated a large number of mummies sequels and remakes. The Mummy in 1999 and mummy 2 in 21 are both remakes of this film

The Pale Wizard (1932)

Director: Victor Chrpa Lin

Starring: Bella Lugos

Country: United States

It is said that it is the first movie with the theme of witchcraft controlling zombies. Set in Haiti, this film describes a wizard who awakens a large group of zombies through voodoo witchcraft and makes them operate machines in a sugar factory day and night. The wizard also turned all the beautiful white women who came to the island into zombies. However, the zombies in it have no sense of KB except pity. Of course, what this play wants to convey is not the fear of zombies eating people, but the psychological fear of turning people into zombies.

Werewolf (1941)

Director: George Wagner

Starring: Long Jonny

Country: United States

The enlightenment works of the "Werewolf" branch of the four ethnic groups in western KB movies, but later many "Werewolf movies" were influenced by this film. Universal Studios rediscovered The Werewolf London in 1935 and transformed it into a new version of The Werewolf. Once bitten by a wolf, the film imagines that a person will become a werewolf, and if a werewolf bites another person, the other person will also become a werewolf, which has become the established mode in future werewolf films.

The Devil's Child (1968)

Director: roman polanski

Starring: mia farrow

Country: United States

The Devil's Child ranked 9th among the "25 Best Films of All Time" selected by American Entertainment Weekly, which is a classic in KB films. The film can be regarded as Polanski's tribute to Hitchcock. At the same time, as a director who is not a KB film and an entertainment film, he did not shoot KB films with the suffocating climax of ordinary KB films, but used various elements in life to emit KB, which was widely used for reference by later KB films, including the well-known "The Ring of Midnight".

The Exorcist (1973)

Director: william friedkin

Starring: Ellen Burstyn

Country: United States

Wes kleven, the director who made "The Street of Ghosts", said that there were two films that really scared him, and "The Exorcist" was one of them. The film The Exorcist is based on a real event. Fourteen-year-old boy John is a member of a big family in Maryland. In January 1949, his aunt Dorothy died suddenly and strangely, which triggered a series of strange things. The film was released in the United States in 1973, and was nominated for 1 Oscars in the following year, and finally won two awards, four Golden Globes and the British Film Academy Award.

Texas Chainsaw Killing (1974)

Director: Toby Hooper

Starring: Jessica Biel

Country: United States

This masterpiece of KB film is not bloody with posters and titles, and there are no close-ups of bloody killings and wounds. Instead, it makes it all appear outside the camera, and it makes you feel really suffocating panic. Sally is regarded as a half-dead killer's dinner in the film. Although she finally escaped, it was only the human body that managed to resist the chopping of an axe. This scene is considered to be the most unpleasant scene in the film of the 197s.

Halloween (1978)

Director: john carpenter

Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis

Country: United States

This film was the most successful independent film at that time, and changed the consistent face of KB films, which was considered as the most important KB film after Frankenstein. The campus killer with abnormal face created by him became the textbook of KB films in the United States. Until 1981, more than 6% of the films released in the United States were hunting films. Since 1978, this series has been filmed for 5 episodes in 11 years, and each episode is bloodier than the last.

Paper House (1989)

Director: bernard ross

Starring: Chariot Barker

Country: UK

Lonely Anna found herself able to enter the house she painted, and found more connections between reality and her fantasy realm, so she was dragged into this KB nightmare. This film was once selected as one of the best KB films by Stephen King, a master of KB novels, and Hollywood also hired him to make KB films because of this film, but it gradually broke away from KB films and turned to literary films.

Scream in Surprise (1996)

Director: Weiss Kerian

Starring: Rogoff Jackson

Country: United States

It seems a bit out of place to put such a KB film with obvious youth and nostalgia in it, but the series of Scream in Surprise and the laugh in Surprise which evolved from it. A large number of classic KB movie fragments involved in the film and their influence on later KB movies can be said to be a simple summary. At the same time, the film invited many KB stars to make guest appearances. For example, the little girl possessed by a ghost in exorcist plays a reporter who growls "People's Right to Know" in the film, making this film and series become the teaching materials of KB films in the United States.

The Ring of Midnight (1999)

Director: Hideo Nakata

Starring: Matsushima Nanako

Country: Japan

Following the traditional Japanese ghost films "Four Valley tales of mystery" and "Peony Lantern", this film created a "KB film in the post-midnight ring era". It is completely different from traditional Japanese KB films. They have subverted the past, developed a set of marketing models, connotations and even created a brand-new KB film language. Its rich oriental metaphysical color also made its KB a school of its own, and the film topped the box office. After that, the American remake of "The Ring of Midnight" also exceeded 1 million.

blair witch project (1999)

Director: Daniel Mirek

Starring: Harz donahue

Country: United States

This is not only the biggest dark horse in Hollywood in the summer of 1999, it can be said that this low-cost film with an investment of only 1 million dollars has written a new concept of ghost movies. The film is in the form of a documentary. Before, it created a KB atmosphere for the film through external means such as the Internet, which made the audience confuse the virtual and the real. Although the Blair witch, the core of KB in the film, never appeared directly, the clues she created became a classic female ghost in both truth and falsehood.
