Many years ago, before CGI, horror movies relied on more visceral effects to elicit scares. Monsters, ghosts, and all things gory had to be created with hours upon hours of special effects wizardry. It was, arguably, a much scarier way of making horror movies. Some of those movies became vintage classics. These types of movies are often fondly remembered as a person’s “first time”… forever attracting them to the genre. 1.
