@slaughteredmedia: One of cinema’s earliest famous jumpscares happened before movies even had sound. In 1922, Häxan showed audiences witches, demons, rituals and medieval visions of the Devil. Then, during an otherwise quiet moment, the Devil suddenly forces himself into the frame. No sound effect. No musical sting. No bass drop. It was a silent film. More than 100 years later, horror is still exploiting basically the same instinct: Make us comfortable with an empty frame. Then put something where it shouldn’t be. #Haxan #HorrorHistory #HorrorMovies #SilentFilm
