Häxan — 1922 dir. Benjamin Christensen

My finished drawing of Papa V, referencing the 1922 silent horror film "Häxan" 👹

in the silent era of horror, the word "horror" began to be used as a generic signation, and more often instead used was the words "weird" and "mythical and mysterious." this is a time when adaptions were so rapidly made like frankenstein and edgar allan poe's works dominated this era. horror as a genre wasn't specifically "created" or the word wasn't used until dracula in the 1930s.
