•As you can see from the timeline in the last slides, as time has progressed, more horror films have been made, the advances in technology would have massively helped this change. For example comparing one of the oldest horror films with the newest film, besides the quality of the filming, makeup has made the films much more believable- thus adding to the scare factor.
