I am gonna defend ya, although I will catch hell for it. This person is using a resource available on the Internet for research, specifically H.com.
IMHO, every generation has its classic Horror films. What most probably consider, “the classics”, are Nosferatu, The Cabinet of Dr. Calgari, Phantom of the Opera, “Lugosi’s” Dracula, James Whale’s Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein. Etc…etc. These films starred actors who are the Grandfathers/Mothers of Horror. They did, (both the film and actor) what a Horror film is intended to do shock, scare, and frighten it’s viewers. They also allowed people to compare the real/tangible horrors of real life with those imagined in their own psyche. Put a face on these monsters and terrors, in the early stages of film, allowing us all to realize that despite our differences were are very much the same.
These Horrors have evolved as have Society and it’s own Horror’s, invasion’s from space, nuclear holocaust, demonic/apocalyptic reign, serial killings and loss of innocence. Fear is just as strong an emotion as is love, or hate, and a lot more entertaining for me.
So there is my 2 cents.

Nosferatu,
Does not this word sound like the call of the death bird at Midnight? You dare not say it since the pictures will fade into dark shadows, ghostly dreams will rise from your heart and feed on your own blood
