Technology & Horror Flicks

It is mid-November now and television shows still airs horror movies. The likes of Shake Rattle & Roll and more brought back memories of my childhood. In the same way that changes in doing films in terms of side effects and prosthetics are very much comparable. Sometimes, I can't help but laugh at how horror scenes from old movies were being done. I don't have anything against them but, it was just my mere reaction while I watched it a while ago. There are a lot of shocking scenes in a horror movie like someone will just pop out of the window while a creepy sound is playing, the use of rustic furniture that will be moved by a ghost is very popular too or a scene in a cemetery and all. With the advancement of technology, horror flicks right now are much adventurous and imaginative in terms of effects and how to shock moviegoers. This edition of films will be the ones that will be remembered by my son when he grows up. I just thought, will he react the same way as I reacted when I watched the horror films of my time? And what advancement in technology will be popular in those days considering that right now, latest gadgets are becoming unpopular in a blink of an eye?
