A Timeline of Horror Movies-- Part 2: Howling, Destroying, Stabbing and Biting

1941--  "THE WOLF MAN"--  Lon Chaney Jr.'s portrayal of a man cursed to change into a wolf during the full moon was repeated in four sequels.  All you ever wanted to know about werewolves.

1954--  "GODZILLA"--  A Japanese kaiju (monster movie) showed the dangers of atomic testing.

1960--  "PSYCHO"--  Director Alfred Hitchcock's split-personality thriller featured Norman Bates as a hotel caretaker.  And then there was that famous shower scene and that music.

1968--  "NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD"--  Director George A. Romero's take on zombies and a world where they overrun society.  The look of the zombies and over-the-top gore endeared it to horror fans.  "The Walking Dead" owes him a huge thank you.
