Horror is one of the most widely-revered genres of storytelling ever in human history. Dating back to ghost stories people might tell around a fire, the art of horror storytelling has been evolving for centuries. Horror movie fans in the last 20 years have gotten to witness the ghostly imaginations of the world's top horror writers transform onto the big screen.
Thanks to advances in special effects and CGI, horror stories no longer need to be subtle or rely on the imagination of the audience. Horror movies, with all their gore, can be blunt and in-your-face in the modern era of storytelling. This is what makes the last few years a truly unique era for the genre.
