Something about black and white films. Like Dragonwyck, That Dark House, Dracula, House of Usher, The Uninvited, Gaslight, and The Black Cat. I think those horror movies from the 30s and 40s really had it going on. The coloring, or lack of, is eery to begin with. Add some fog and dark shadows and you have it. Shock, fear, slow build up, and gothic- oh, and maybe some evil. More recent movies just don't seem to have the same air of true horror. I'd rather see an old black white thank you. The picture is from Billy Ai art.

I loved those old movies, I still love those movies better than the modern ones.

Black and white vintage horror is the best with the shadows and lighting providing an ominous atmosphere that glaring color cannot.
