Horror Movies Word Search
This puzzle holds forty names from a century of horror films: Nosferatu and Dracula, Psycho and Carrie, the masked killers Jason, Ghostface and Michael Myers, the clown Pennywise, and the words critics use for the genre, from slasher to jump scare.
The first great vampire film was an unauthorized one. F. W. Murnau's Nosferatu of 1922 retold Dracula with the names changed, and Bram Stoker's widow sued; a German court ordered the prints destroyed, and the film survived only because copies had already left the country. Universal answered in 1931 with Bela Lugosi as Dracula and Boris Karloff as the monster in Frankenstein, and Karloff came back as The Mummy the next year.
Alfred Hitchcock shot Psycho in black and white in 1960, partly because the shower scene would have been too gory in color, and the blood was chocolate syrup. John Carpenter made Halloween in 1978 on a small budget, and Michael Myers wears a cheap Captain Kirk mask painted white. Jason did not get his hockey mask until the third Friday the 13th film in 1982, and the critic Carol Clover named the final girl, the last one standing, in the late 1980s.
