Where Did They Come From?
The first horror movies did not actually come from the traditional film industry. Illusionists, magicians, and authors had been creating horror narratives for years, as part of their shows and novels.nn nnWhen we look back to those early pioneers of screen craft, we find that most of the breakthroughs in technology came from these illusionists, who were used to creating complex machinery and effects for their stage shows.nn nnWhen they got their hands on camera equipment, they realized the novelty - and scalability - of bringing their horrifying stage techniques to the big screen.nn nnIn fact, many of the early technologies used in movies came from magicians and illusionists, including the creation of on-screen ghosts.nn nnThat tradition still lives today, in the form of post-production and clever editing. So, next time you go to see a Marvel movie, remember, it was those original magicians who made those camera tricks possible.
