Whattup gangsters, the video description can't fit this information so it's placed here instead. Some mistakes pointed out in the comments: James Wan is Asian Australian (woops!).

totally ignoring the classic Zombeavers smh jk really looking forward to this because your documentary style videos have all been exceptional so far and i know your passion won't let this be a half assed one
I really was saddened when you quit back then with the massive successes of "Life of a Streamer: Bricky" and "Do you remember Limewire?". These were absolute bangers and I really wanted more. Thank you for coming back, Matt.
I am completely down for this channel to become a documentary channel. Stuff like Lemmino and Internet Historian always bring out interesting lengthy topics covering a wide range oh history and events in their own unique ways. Seeing Matt show off his pro editing and camera work as well scripted content really made this incredible to watch.
I'm not. I am a college professor. I need to know the expertise of the sources of information. Anyone can post to TH-cam. The ability to produce a video does NOT make a person an expert. This stuff can be fun, but unless we know the expertise of the author, it is NOT authoritative. Social media is gossip. Joe Blow's opinion might be interesting. But it might be completely wrong.
@D O So do all documentary channels or even opinion piece documentary channels have to have expertise in the field in which they are writing and or filming about?
@@matthewwarner4119 Only if they want to be believed. We do not allow college students to use "documentaries" posted to TH-cam as sources unless they can verify the expertise of the presenter. There is a difference between expert views and Joe Blow's opinion.
@D O wait. Was this projected as an authoritative source from an expert in the field? Or did someone in your class stupidly think this was an authoritative source? I don't think you watched the video because it does contain plenty of interviews from actual experts in filmography. Could some of the theory he discussed also be sourced sure, but this video was designed to be informative AND entertaining what portion of the video did you see as incorrect. And what do you know about his background?
This is the best breakdown of horror history I’ve ever seen. It’s not overloaded, the narration and voiceover is pleasing, easy on the ears, and thorough yet concise. I’m not done watching yet, but wanted to leave a comment to give kudos to the creator and editor. Awesome job!
Eh, one thing that would make it better is if he didn't jam is personal cultural and political views down our throats. I hate being told how to think about certain issues, especially if I feel like the person presenting the information has underdeveloped opinions
This is the first time I've seen a documentary talk about how present horror was on 90s television, especially, in children's media. Thank you for pointing this out! A lot of people often forget how formative these tv shows, specials, and cartoons are for horror fans.
There was actually a lot more during the 60's Addams Family, Munsters, Dark Shadows etc. and 70's especially with the rise of Folk Horror. Shows Pendas Fen, Children of the Stones, Robin Redbreast, etc.
I checked back on this channel out of curiosity and I didn't expect to sit down and watch a 2-hour long documentary. Brilliant work Matt. The production quality of this video is stellar❤
Horror has honestly been one of the most evolved yet consist genres I’ve seen. They continue to embrace the future and stay tied to their roots so they can pay respect to the past directors, writers, artists etc. who walked so the future of the genre could run. Great video!!
This video is criminally underrated, Magikarp you’ve outdone yourself here. There was so much thought out into this documentary and I appreciated how even the lighting of your personal clips changed with the eras you were discussing. It’s clear you love and appreciate the genre and I thank you for showing me that there’s more to horror than fear. It’s art.
I was in the Live Chat as this documentary premiered on YT, and I was happy to see so many people watching this, interacting with Matt with their own thoughts on scary movies and how much each of the segments of this video mattered. This is certainly a HUUGE video to invest time into, but one that rewards you with a rich history of horror films throughout the years, from humble ideas to novel concepts now beloved to fans everywhere. Watching this just gave a +1 to my interest on scary movies, and makes me appreciate the people who make them even more. Thank you for sharing your long-timenproject with us, Matt. Whatever it is you plan to do next, I'm definitely looking forward to watching it. SQUEESH! 💙💙💪
It's ironic how horror movies were considered lower art to actors and audiences, when in reality they are the pinnacle of human nature and film making. Look at the biggest films in history, JAWS, Exorcist, and all the Universal Classic Monsters. Horror is the genre that explores human nature down to the primal level. I love it, along with millions of you now, and forever to come. What a great job you did on this doc !!!
Man I love horror movies. Easily my favorite genre. I just love how easily some of these movies can create iconic locations and memorable characters that can be instantly recognized even half a century later.
What's fascinating to me is watching Roger Ebert talk about how not plausible the actions of the character in The Thing are, but in a post 2020 world it's become apparent how realistic it really is. In general there's a reaction to horror when characters do not act in rational or intelligent ways, but real life goes to show when danger and paranoia are involved people generally do act questionably.
You're getting fascinated by anything in this world of cinema, that has the name of such a unintelligent idiot like Roger Ebert?!? And the other guy with him... Jesus. H. Christ!
Wow. What an excellent, well researched documentary! I don’t think Hollywood or Netflix could’ve done better. For film buffs like myself, this was an absolute delight from start to finish!
@@Jay9966 I am a professor. Believe me, that is NOT what well-researched means. This is a fun little hobby video for people who don't really need to know FACTS. Research is only as good as the sources used to conduct it. The fact that people believe gossip that goes through no editing process and cites no sources proves how poorly educated people are.
@@do9138 Sorry if I wasn't being clear, I was being sarcastic... Yeah but sometimes its hard to get because people online are starting to sprout opinions like its fact.
@@do9138 In the description "Professor, genius. Sir". Not actually a professor, or the ONLY "professor" with enough time on his hands to shit on YT content creators'.... actually, I don't even have time for this shit, but I'm sure YOU do, "professor"🙄
As an art major, I'm impressed by your research and usage of technical terms to frame the foundation of what makes these films great. A+ one of the best deep doves I've seen
Crazy how the Thing and especially the Shining were critically panned when they were released. Literally masterclasses in horror cinema, and film in general.
King King..People nowadays can’t understand that the Mountain Gorilla was only discovered thirty one years earlier in 1902 and many didn’t even know they existed or knew what one looked like. It was a newly discovered beast in the eyes of millions around the world a world where the printed page was how literally the entire planet got their news. The last silent movie came out three years prior to the release of King Kong..that means no TV and many small cinemas outside of major cities still played silent movies daily and this invention called the talkies back then was something very special and still new. The most controversial picture ever made was a silent movie “The Birth Of A Nation” but back then it wasn’t because things were way,way different
The fact that this is sitting at 4k views after 4 hours is criminal, what a fantastic documentary. Matt seriously is amazing at this. As someone who isn’t very big into horror films, I was still invested entirely. Edit: So glad to see this video has popped off in the algorithm! Almost at 900k views! Congrats Matt!
Reminds me of another channel I recently found that makes super high quality and entertaining videos, but only has a couple thousand subs. Both the videos on that channel and this video are pretty long. Makes me think TH-cam is just pushing shorts hard, and downgrading long videos in the algorithm
yeah bro how has nobody watched a two and a half hour long documentary on a basically dead channel about the arguably least popular genre of movies, which historically also has produced the highest amount of dogshit movies. truly baffling
@@XHypergamerX The only thing that applies from what you've said is the "dead channel" part, yeah his videos don't tickle the algorithm the right way so his stuff doesn't get pushed at all, but the length and genre don't matter, video essays are as popular as they've ever been, and horror is *very* popular on youtube
Mate, this is an 2½ hour video. Many people, me included, can't just drop everything they do to actually watch this thing right when it's released. I now waited a few days to set aside some time and I'm sure many others are doing that too.
@@nekuchan900 Also because 90% of the people came to Matt for different content. Whether it'd be league related or Nickyboi edited videos like jeopardy and sound effects tier list. He's sitting at 1,1M subs because of that kind of content, not just the algorithm fucking him over. Personally, I'm only still subscribed so I can watch all of his older content.
Probably because it is only students that would believe the far Left narrative running through this. Hilarious how 'white protagonists' and 'black victim characters' is mentioned ad infinitum, yet NOT A WORD about the lack of diversity in Asian cinema..... not any other ethnicity onscreen EVER......not mentioned at all...... funny that. Must just loathe white people...
I am not even 10 minutes in and this is easily one of the best videos I have ever seen a content creator make on this platform. Matt your dedication to your work is so clear. I loved watching your league videos and everything from then to now. Everything you put out is top tier content. I hope you never stop doing what you so clearly love. Thank you and love your work.
I love that you only described "home" as indescribable. That sums it up. Also, referring to someone as 'fresh off the boat' while they are on a boat is gold. Good show!
DUDE! how long did this take to make! it's amazing! so in depth. I learned so much about early horror that I had no idea about, and everything knew about 70's to modern day got vastly expanded. Thank you! I sent this to all my film buff friends!
As a fellow horror movie fan, you knocked it out of the park with this one. I'm hyped to see you put out more documentaries or just informative videos in the future, if you decide to take your channel in that direction. You are very good at organizing information and making it easy to digest. I have a really short attention span, but you had my uninterrupted attention for the entire two and a half hours. Excellent video!
It’s crazy how disrespectful the Oscars and other awards shows are towards the horror genre. Us, Midsommar, Hereditary, The Witch, The Void, Mandy, It Follows, Let Me In, It Comes at Night, X were all worthy of some type of awards recognition, whether it was for the acting, direction, cinematography, score, art direction or production design.
Echoing many other's sentiments, this is a really great piece of work. I'm a film nerd and more specifically a junkie regarding behind the scenes, commentaries etc. I must have watched every documentary around this area and for many years found any new docs. to be rehashing and telling the same stories and information I've heard dozens of times already. However this covered many aspects I've seen covered before, gave me loads of info. I wasn't aware of and took a very original approach in the way it drew the connections and studied the films. Also presented in a flawless and entertaining manner which made it a joy to watch. Can't recommend this highly enough and for geeks like me it is pure gold. Many thanks.
I remember seeing you post horror movies for October. You must've spent months on this. Thanks for always making such high quality projects, no matter what it is about
I can confidently say that this will be in my top 10 favorite youtube videos produced this year. I’m glad you finally got to express your love and passion for the genre in the way your best at. Straight into the “bideos that are good” playlist with this one!
Final Destination as a franchise is getting a 6th movie next year I believe, I think as a really popular franchise since the first movie released in 2000, it could have been mentioned !
+1 for the algorithm. Haven't seen this yet, but I'm so excited to check it out. Thanks for what I'm positive was an extensive effort and tons of hard work Matt. I'm glad to see how much you've evolved over the years. I came for the actual champion spotlights, but stayed for the wholesome and charming content. No parasocial relationship here, just giving much deserved roses to an incredible artist. Thanks for everything man.
This is quite possibly the greatest video I have ever watched. Such an entertaining and educational look at the genre of film I love the most. Could easily watch another 2+ hours of this. Great job! 👏🏻
This was an absolutely wonderful documentary and I am surprised how many films you were able to cover in this. There are some classics I didn't see, like The Poltergeist, and some indie ones I really hoped to see, like The Void (seriously if you haven't seen The Void it is a wonderful eldritch horror and I love it so much). But you showed me so many other movies that I didn't know existed and now my 'to watch' list has gotten so much longer.
I think the movie "Cabin In The Woods" is a pretty good representation of a horror film that is self aware but yet has enough twist to keep it interesting and unsure of where it's going while still keeping the suspension cranked to 10
I’m not a fan of horror films, but man this was such a great watch! Matt, you were one of the people who inspired me to go into Digital Media. This video reminded me so much of the days where I was watching The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Nosferatu, and Psycho back in my Filmography class. It was oddly nostalgic looking back at some of these films that we went over. Keep up the great work!
Im going to be 100% honest, when i saw the video was 2hs long i had serious doubts on watching it, but once it started i just couldnt stop, this video is a great documentary on horror films and i thank you for giving me this insight and knowledge on it, truly Magikarp you really went above and beyond on this one, keep going i love this content
This was done so incredibly well! Horror can be a dense subject to dive into but you handled it so amazingly well. I love that for the most part, it's linear but you're not opposed to going on quick side missions for further context. I think it really helps with the overall narrative. Incredible stuff!
This is one of the best horror documentaries I ever watched. Finished it over the last few days. I absolutely love how you show how films are inspired by other films. I feel much more educated after having watched this! I also loved basically every movie that you discussed in depth! Amazing job. We have the same taste in horror! Subscribed
It's truly amazing what you did here, i love horror and you did an outstanding job at highlighting how the genre has been evolving together with what is considered "scary" in each period of time
i really enjoyed this video. as a fellow horror connoisseur, it's nice to see someone breakdown the evolution of the horror genre and it's sub categories, and the evolution from practical to CGI effects, etc. Great Job dude, keep it up. I remember watching your very early videos on the actual league spotlight, been subbed ever since the first one. keep it up homeslice!
This is colossal work. And of course most of us can name some movies that are missing but are of huge significance. For me it would be "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?"
This is on level of The Story of Film. I have wanted something with this amount of detail for my favorite genre for a long time now. Outstanding work! Incredible.
Really awesome video! One small thing. James Wan is an Australian director, not american…..I would give a shoutout to Until Dawn, the interactive horror video game which sparked a new genre of interactive horror, a trend which has been further developed by Man of Medan…..and is likely to extend further over time
This is one of the best deep dkves into horror history I've ever seen, so incredibly put together with knowledge on literally anything and everything. Great work ❤
Even though there wasn't much gore in The Chainsaw Massacre, the scene with the old man hitting the girl on the head with a hammer was the most distressing scene in it. By the way, love your channel!
I just had TH-cam playing and it automatically played this video... THIS IS MAGICKARPUSEDFLY!?!?! I can't be the only person who just knows him from league videos. I applaud you for this video man. Keep it up!
Absolutely blown away by this video Matt. I’ve always loved horror movies but I’ve been gaining a bigger appreciation for movie history lately as I’ve been taking a Japanese Film course. Seeing all the historic elements play into the evolution of films and directors is just so interesting. Thanks for your hard work Matt and can’t wait to see what you do from here!
Fun fact about Night of the Living Dead: lead role wasn’t written for a black man he was just the best actor, so all the racial culturally impact was unintentional
I never even thought of it as starring a black man, just an actor in that role. Weird how the people that notice it are usually the ones that constantly go on about racism
i love it!! this was excellent and easy to follow. i took some notes so i could watch everything mentioned mostly in order especially some of the foreign films mentioned + their respective novels, i wasn't familiar with many of those. i love horror for teaching me so much and giving a voice/ creating a space for myself and specific other groups
I had no idea at the time of it's release Jennifer's Body was a flop. I was obsessed with that movie, and I really don't know anyone who doesn't like it? I was the demographic, so it's aggravating to see how poorly the studio treated such an important film.
I saw it in theaters on opening weekend, loved the shit out of it and was crazy disappointed when it didn't take off. I'll _never_ understand why that happened, but I'm so happy to see it get the appreciation it deserves.
1:03:40 I have to disagree here, becuse cinematically Giallos ARE among the best of cinema. Besides Film Noir they are one of the few genres that really indulge in all techniques of classical film making. The dubbing seems to be a big concern only for Americans. Most other countries are used to either dubbing or subtitles, and many countries consider voice actors as part of the art. "The lip movement doesn't match" is simply nothing I even realize any more.
What a fantastic, sweeping doc on the history of horror in film. Well put together, well researched, insightful, interesting and it’s apparent that it was made with great love and respect for the horror genre. Also your speaking voice is very pleasant which, w/ a running time length such as this, is a must have or headaches often ensue. 😂 Yes you left out camp horror as a sub genre almost completely, but hey, nobody’s perfect, right? Really wanted 80/90’s camp classics such as Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness, Motel Hell, Death Becomes Her, and Deranged, which are films that pretty much birthed and/or revitalized the sub genre, to get some love thrown their way. Maybe make a second part? Plenty left to talk about in that pleasant voice of yours that is sure not to give one a headache. 😉Edit: AUDITION is in my top five greatest most favorite films of all time. Forget just in horror, but ALL TIME PERIOD, any genre, any year. It’s a masterpiece. Seen it hundreds of times. Have owned the deluxe two disc box set for like 18 years, and I still watch it to this day. It never gets old. Could talk about it, down to the lighting and the shot angle choices, all day. Truly a work of brilliance. Thank you for showing it so much appreciation.
@@MrCharlesWidmore Among many, many others, He made the 60’s camp-ish psychological thriller film Straightjacket with Joan Crawford right???? I LOVE THAT FILM. And I own it. Sadly, that film gets criminally ignored and chronically overlooked even when talking about Joan Crawford’s body of work. At most, it’s dismissed as “past her prime” 🙄. At worst, it gets totally ignored. When it’s actually a twisty, gloriously over the top, manic fever dream ride and I love it to death 🖤😂 Joan is fabulous as a woman smiling wildly through her “psychosis”, lighting matches on spinning records 🤣 Very cool you mentioned it’s director. 👍
Yea the old horror films can never be beaten like the excorcist pysco hslloween friday the 13th like you just cant make horror films like them anymore even carrie is a classic.
Hey man, as a long time viewer. Im absolutely astounded at this jump of passion and heart put into this video. Not that your previous work is shabby in any way. But every minute of this oozes art, commitment and deep knowledge on the subject. And it reminded me. This is exactly what you went to college to study, Films and filmmaking. I know it sounds like im just stateing the obvious but holy shit as someone who wants to make videos this is literal perfection. Not in the way that it's perfect, but its been perfectly crafted. I cannot wait to see your future content once again just like how i was 6 years ago waiting for your league videos in middle school. Bravo my man.
I love it. At 41:12 you referenced a Dexter's Laboratory episode called "Slightly Psycho." After seeing that episode, I changed my Truck Driver/CB Handle to "Pslytely Psycho." I posted it in large chrome letters on the side of my Frieghtliner and have used it for every login that allowed pseudonyms ever since, including my bank. Although I already had decided to like the video, at that point you earned my sub! Awesome! As you didn't mention it, one of my personal favorites from the silent era is 1922's Häxan. Absolutely goofy and strange. I have odd tastes, like 1964's The Flesh Eaters (but only with the Nazi references, or else it makes no sense) and 1972's ultra low budget Invasion of the Blood Farmers. Poorly acted, stupid characters, Druid princesses, a perennial favorite of mine....it was also very hard to find a copy of for my collection. Toss in 1970's Equinox with Asmodeus as a park ranger and 1959's Kon Tiki the Immortal Monster you see where my head is.... Pslytely Psycho obviously....
This is a really well done doc. You covered everything you wanted/needed to without it becoming overly bloated. Got me remembering the first experience I had with horror being Are you Afraid of the Dark and this the remake of The McPherson Tape that came out in 1998. This made me realize how far my taste in movies has come. Again, great job!
Thanks for going over the technical parts of filming and how the screen is used to manipulate the audience. I remember that vanishing point/one point perspective technique from when I took understanding filmmaking in college. Filmmakers are storytellers with a different medium than books, and it's good to understand how and why it works.
There’s a great documentary called Nightmares:red white and blue Where they go more in depth in how horror films and what was going on in the world at the time of their creation
I like how James and Leigh are just 2 chill aussie guys irl when the people who think saw is the most disturbing thing ever are prob terrified of the "sick minds who could even think of such a thing" 😂
This was great. I havent sat down and watched anything in one sitting in awhile. Makes me wanna go back and revisit some classics. He breaks down the shining cinematography perfectly. I love 80s and 90s horror movies.
I can't believe I'm barely finding this video now. As a horror fan I absolutely loved this video its really made me appreciate the movies I love more and has given me a lot more movies to go home and watch! Thanks man!
I love this retrospective. Also, J-horror is such a fascinating topic all on its own and i am glad it is referenced just as much as western horror because it is such an important part of forging the genre including the framework of gaint monster movies and Slashers. Also, aaayyyyyeee, early 90s bros!! We grew up in a great age for blossoming horror fans
that full body fire stunt in Thing From Another World was incredible- what a scene !!! Jennifers Body is like the Mean Girls of horror- a new age classic
I actually saw Jennifer's Body in the theater on opening weekend and I loved it. I didn't understand why it got middling reviews and didn't make a bunch of money. It's so nice to see it getting the appreciation it deserves years later.
Great documentary honoring the history of horror films 🤘 being a cinephile, absolutely loving horror films as well, this was done with great care and an understanding of the genre and its subgenres. Loved it! Keep it going!
I agree. when Mel Brooks did his 'High Anxiety' tribute to him, he said, "we were talking about it, Hitchcock and me, and I've got Hitchcock pitching me jokes" as I recall, MB liked one joke, but it didn't get used. best line in it: Brooks pesters a bellboy to pick him up a newspaper, and the guy brings the paper into his shower, stabs him w/ it, "here's your damn paper!" they focus on Mel's face up close on the floor, like Janet Leigh, staring into nothing, when Mel says, "that kid gets NO tip!" I'm still rolling on the floor. the way the scene is done, is brilliant.
Speaking about king Kong..you must realize the world was a different place nearly 100 years ago! Hopefully the world will be a different place again in another 100 years or less. I won't try to eraze history though, unlike many loonies currently influencing with agendas etc
King Kong being about racism and colonialism is based on that "study"? Or the original creator's intent. If it isn't the original creators intent then it doesn't matter. This sounds like some Joseph Campbell pseudo science bullshit. You can apply the same horse shit to any book or story.
I’m normally skeptical about overly focusing on racism in old films, but have you seen King Kong? Once there is a scene of a Black shaman literally trying to trade 6 Black women for one white woman, it’s pretty clear there are some racist undertones (the only question is if the director was trying, poorly, to subvert them, or if he supported them, and I’m not sure about the answer to that).
If you really wanted to, you could download the video and burn it onto a DVD disc, but that's dumb, you could always just put it into a usb drive and be able to play it on most devices.
I can watch horror docos all day long. Particularly enjoyed this one, my friend. Knowledgeable and passionate, with nice touches and humour. Keep up the good work!
This was AMAZING! Maybe you can help me figure out a movie I watched as a kid. It was from the late 60s or early 70s. It seemed like a trilogy. One short had a young couple who wrecked off a bridge and the girl would catch rides after her death but never make it to her home. The second one had a weird sound coming out of a well. The family dog fell into the well and the dad was lowered in to retrieve the dog. When he was lifted out, a picture fell off a wall. That made the wife immediately know something was wrong. Of course the dad was insane when he was lifted out. I’ve always wanted to watch it again, but can’t seem to find it. Hopefully you can help since you seem so well informed about horror movies👍

Let’s go the Karp King has returned
Star Wars Episode 8 and Avengers Endgame caught me off guard lol
totally ignoring the classic Zombeavers smh
jk really looking forward to this because your documentary style videos have all been exceptional so far and i know your passion won't let this be a half assed one
Wow. The amount of work you must have put into this has to be utterly insane. Looking forward to it. ❤
I really was saddened when you quit back then with the massive successes of "Life of a Streamer: Bricky" and "Do you remember Limewire?". These were absolute bangers and I really wanted more.
Thank you for coming back, Matt.
Wait what, this video was uploaded 6 Days AGO But You commented 10 Days AGO what, or was this a live stream?
@@dirtydonut9842 it was a scheduled premiere announced 10 days ago and i got hyped
I remember Limewire
You need a hobby
@@MEGVTRON😭
I am completely down for this channel to become a documentary channel. Stuff like Lemmino and Internet Historian always bring out interesting lengthy topics covering a wide range oh history and events in their own unique ways. Seeing Matt show off his pro editing and camera work as well scripted content really made this incredible to watch.
Oh great we were all waiting for your approval
I'm not. I am a college professor. I need to know the expertise of the sources of information. Anyone can post to TH-cam. The ability to produce a video does NOT make a person an expert. This stuff can be fun, but unless we know the expertise of the author, it is NOT authoritative. Social media is gossip. Joe Blow's opinion might be interesting. But it might be completely wrong.
@D O So do all documentary channels or even opinion piece documentary channels have to have expertise in the field in which they are writing and or filming about?
@@matthewwarner4119 Only if they want to be believed. We do not allow college students to use "documentaries" posted to TH-cam as sources unless they can verify the expertise of the presenter. There is a difference between expert views and Joe Blow's opinion.
@D O wait. Was this projected as an authoritative source from an expert in the field? Or did someone in your class stupidly think this was an authoritative source? I don't think you watched the video because it does contain plenty of interviews from actual experts in filmography. Could some of the theory he discussed also be sourced sure, but this video was designed to be informative AND entertaining what portion of the video did you see as incorrect. And what do you know about his background?
This is the best breakdown of horror history I’ve ever seen. It’s not overloaded, the narration and voiceover is pleasing, easy on the ears, and thorough yet concise. I’m not done watching yet, but wanted to leave a comment to give kudos to the creator and editor. Awesome job!
Eh, one thing that would make it better is if he didn't jam is personal cultural and political views down our throats. I hate being told how to think about certain issues, especially if I feel like the person presenting the information has underdeveloped opinions
I had to stop when he provided his analysis of King Kong. What a dumbass.
If by pleasing you mean effeminate and without pause, then sure. 🙉
@@agentjackstone3543I completely agree with you.
@@agentjackstone3543how did he shove his political views down his throat?
This is the first time I've seen a documentary talk about how present horror was on 90s television, especially, in children's media. Thank you for pointing this out! A lot of people often forget how formative these tv shows, specials, and cartoons are for horror fans.
There was actually a lot more during the 60's Addams Family, Munsters, Dark Shadows etc. and 70's especially with the rise of Folk Horror. Shows Pendas Fen, Children of the Stones, Robin Redbreast, etc.
I checked back on this channel out of curiosity and I didn't expect to sit down and watch a 2-hour long documentary. Brilliant work Matt. The production quality of this video is stellar❤
Horror has honestly been one of the most evolved yet consist genres I’ve seen. They continue to embrace the future and stay tied to their roots so they can pay respect to the past directors, writers, artists etc. who walked so the future of the genre could run. Great video!!
& also do they continue to release new content every year?
horror always evolves alongside our technology which i love
This video is criminally underrated, Magikarp you’ve outdone yourself here. There was so much thought out into this documentary and I appreciated how even the lighting of your personal clips changed with the eras you were discussing. It’s clear you love and appreciate the genre and I thank you for showing me that there’s more to horror than fear. It’s art.
agreed!
I was in the Live Chat as this documentary premiered on YT, and I was happy to see so many people watching this, interacting with Matt with their own thoughts on scary movies and how much each of the segments of this video mattered. This is certainly a HUUGE video to invest time into, but one that rewards you with a rich history of horror films throughout the years, from humble ideas to novel concepts now beloved to fans everywhere. Watching this just gave a +1 to my interest on scary movies, and makes me appreciate the people who make them even more. Thank you for sharing your long-timenproject with us, Matt. Whatever it is you plan to do next, I'm definitely looking forward to watching it. SQUEESH! 💙💙💪
It's ironic how horror movies were considered lower art to actors and audiences, when in reality they are the pinnacle of human nature and film making. Look at the biggest films in history, JAWS, Exorcist, and all the Universal Classic Monsters. Horror is the genre that explores human nature down to the primal level. I love it, along with millions of you now, and forever to come. What a great job you did on this doc !!!
Man I love horror movies. Easily my favorite genre. I just love how easily some of these movies can create iconic locations and memorable characters that can be instantly recognized even half a century later.
What's fascinating to me is watching Roger Ebert talk about how not plausible the actions of the character in The Thing are, but in a post 2020 world it's become apparent how realistic it really is.
In general there's a reaction to horror when characters do not act in rational or intelligent ways, but real life goes to show when danger and paranoia are involved people generally do act questionably.
You're getting fascinated by anything in this world of cinema, that has the name of such a unintelligent idiot like Roger Ebert?!? And the other guy with him... Jesus. H. Christ!
Oh? And what is apparent about how realistic it is exactly?

Wow. What an excellent, well researched documentary! I don’t think Hollywood or Netflix could’ve done better. For film buffs like myself, this was an absolute delight from start to finish!
Well researched? Where does he cite sources?
@@do9138 By well researched, people today actually means, there's a lot of information in the video, right or not, cited or not doesn't matter.
@@Jay9966 I am a professor. Believe me, that is NOT what well-researched means. This is a fun little hobby video for people who don't really need to know FACTS. Research is only as good as the sources used to conduct it. The fact that people believe gossip that goes through no editing process and cites no sources proves how poorly educated people are.
@@do9138 Sorry if I wasn't being clear, I was being sarcastic... Yeah but sometimes its hard to get because people online are starting to sprout opinions like its fact.
@@do9138
In the description "Professor, genius. Sir". Not actually a professor, or the ONLY "professor" with enough time on his hands to shit on YT content creators'.... actually, I don't even have time for this shit, but I'm sure YOU do, "professor"🙄
As an art major, I'm impressed by your research and usage of technical terms to frame the foundation of what makes these films great. A+ one of the best deep doves I've seen
And also the white guilt, shilling for feminists, and constant virtue signaling. Besides that it was a spectacular presentation.
@@slickleg6066 I caught that aswell..very annoying
@@slickleg6066if you're not guilty why are you feeling the guilt?🤔
@@alphabarre9096that is a circular argument.. what else ya got?😂
@@smeagle3295 I got a huge third to flush away, it's all I got for you right now 🤫🤭
Crazy how the Thing and especially the Shining were critically panned when they were released. Literally masterclasses in horror cinema, and film in general.
King King..People nowadays can’t understand that the Mountain Gorilla was only discovered thirty one years earlier in 1902 and many didn’t even know they existed or knew what one looked like. It was a newly discovered beast in the eyes of millions around the world a world where the printed page was how literally the entire planet got their news. The last silent movie came out three years prior to the release of King Kong..that means no TV and many small cinemas outside of major cities still played silent movies daily and this invention called the talkies back then was something very special and still new. The most controversial picture ever made was a silent movie “The Birth Of A Nation” but back then it wasn’t because things were way,way different
The fact that this is sitting at 4k views after 4 hours is criminal, what a fantastic documentary. Matt seriously is amazing at this. As someone who isn’t very big into horror films, I was still invested entirely.
Edit: So glad to see this video has popped off in the algorithm! Almost at 900k views! Congrats Matt!
Reminds me of another channel I recently found that makes super high quality and entertaining videos, but only has a couple thousand subs. Both the videos on that channel and this video are pretty long. Makes me think TH-cam is just pushing shorts hard, and downgrading long videos in the algorithm
yeah bro how has nobody watched a two and a half hour long documentary on a basically dead channel about the arguably least popular genre of movies, which historically also has produced the highest amount of dogshit movies. truly baffling
@@XHypergamerX The only thing that applies from what you've said is the "dead channel" part, yeah his videos don't tickle the algorithm the right way so his stuff doesn't get pushed at all, but the length and genre don't matter, video essays are as popular as they've ever been, and horror is *very* popular on youtube
Mate, this is an 2½ hour video. Many people, me included, can't just drop everything they do to actually watch this thing right when it's released. I now waited a few days to set aside some time and I'm sure many others are doing that too.
@@nekuchan900 Also because 90% of the people came to Matt for different content. Whether it'd be league related or Nickyboi edited videos like jeopardy and sound effects tier list. He's sitting at 1,1M subs because of that kind of content, not just the algorithm fucking him over. Personally, I'm only still subscribed so I can watch all of his older content.
this is truly the film student content you were always meant to make
Probably because it is only students that would believe the far Left narrative running through this. Hilarious how 'white protagonists' and 'black victim characters' is mentioned ad infinitum, yet NOT A WORD about the lack of diversity in Asian cinema..... not any other ethnicity onscreen EVER......not mentioned at all...... funny that. Must just loathe white people...
I am not even 10 minutes in and this is easily one of the best videos I have ever seen a content creator make on this platform. Matt your dedication to your work is so clear. I loved watching your league videos and everything from then to now. Everything you put out is top tier content. I hope you never stop doing what you so clearly love. Thank you and love your work.
I love that you only described "home" as indescribable. That sums it up. Also, referring to someone as 'fresh off the boat' while they are on a boat is gold. Good show!
DUDE! how long did this take to make! it's amazing! so in depth. I learned so much about early horror that I had no idea about, and everything knew about 70's to modern day got vastly expanded. Thank you! I sent this to all my film buff friends!
Every time I think he’s done, bro drops a bomb ❤
Speeking truth right there
Elaborate ok just got here
Like the “i love the kind of woman who will actually just kill me” meme
Bro sounding like my 12 yr old cousin.
Just finished this. Seriously one of my favorite documentaries I’ve seen so far. I couldn’t stop watching and finished it in one go. Amazing.
As a fellow horror movie fan, you knocked it out of the park with this one. I'm hyped to see you put out more documentaries or just informative videos in the future, if you decide to take your channel in that direction. You are very good at organizing information and making it easy to digest. I have a really short attention span, but you had my uninterrupted attention for the entire two and a half hours. Excellent video!
It’s crazy how disrespectful the Oscars and other awards shows are towards the horror genre. Us, Midsommar, Hereditary, The Witch, The Void, Mandy, It Follows, Let Me In, It Comes at Night, X were all worthy of some type of awards recognition, whether it was for the acting, direction, cinematography, score, art direction or production design.
Echoing many other's sentiments, this is a really great piece of work. I'm a film nerd and more specifically a junkie regarding behind the scenes, commentaries etc.
I must have watched every documentary around this area and for many years found any new docs. to be rehashing and telling the same stories and information I've heard dozens of times already. However this covered many aspects I've seen covered before, gave me loads of info. I wasn't aware of and took a very original approach in the way it drew the connections and studied the films. Also presented in a flawless and entertaining manner which made it a joy to watch.
Can't recommend this highly enough and for geeks like me it is pure gold.
Many thanks.
Damn man, you really made me watch a 2 hour documentary of a topic I Hate so much, but you still made it so entertaining
I remember seeing you post horror movies for October. You must've spent months on this. Thanks for always making such high quality projects, no matter what it is about
I can confidently say that this will be in my top 10 favorite youtube videos produced this year. I’m glad you finally got to express your love and passion for the genre in the way your best at. Straight into the “bideos that are good” playlist with this one!
I love how he changes outfits that best match the decade he’s talking about
Final Destination as a franchise is getting a 6th movie next year I believe, I think as a really popular franchise since the first movie released in 2000, it could have been mentioned !
So excited for this, I’ve been watching your content for years and love seeing what you manage to cook up for us every time
+1 for the algorithm. Haven't seen this yet, but I'm so excited to check it out. Thanks for what I'm positive was an extensive effort and tons of hard work Matt. I'm glad to see how much you've evolved over the years. I came for the actual champion spotlights, but stayed for the wholesome and charming content. No parasocial relationship here, just giving much deserved roses to an incredible artist. Thanks for everything man.
This is quite possibly the greatest video I have ever watched. Such an entertaining and educational look at the genre of film I love the most. Could easily watch another 2+ hours of this. Great job! 👏🏻
This was an absolutely wonderful documentary and I am surprised how many films you were able to cover in this. There are some classics I didn't see, like The Poltergeist, and some indie ones I really hoped to see, like The Void (seriously if you haven't seen The Void it is a wonderful eldritch horror and I love it so much). But you showed me so many other movies that I didn't know existed and now my 'to watch' list has gotten so much longer.
I think the movie "Cabin In The Woods" is a pretty good representation of a horror film that is self aware but yet has enough twist to keep it interesting and unsure of where it's going while still keeping the suspension cranked to 10
I’m not a fan of horror films, but man this was such a great watch! Matt, you were one of the people who inspired me to go into Digital Media. This video reminded me so much of the days where I was watching The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Nosferatu, and Psycho back in my Filmography class. It was oddly nostalgic looking back at some of these films that we went over. Keep up the great work!
I miss you buddy. Can't wait for your next vid.
Im going to be 100% honest, when i saw the video was 2hs long i had serious doubts on watching it, but once it started i just couldnt stop, this video is a great documentary on horror films and i thank you for giving me this insight and knowledge on it, truly Magikarp you really went above and beyond on this one, keep going i love this content
This was done so incredibly well! Horror can be a dense subject to dive into but you handled it so amazingly well. I love that for the most part, it's linear but you're not opposed to going on quick side missions for further context. I think it really helps with the overall narrative. Incredible stuff!
This is one of the best horror documentaries I ever watched. Finished it over the last few days. I absolutely love how you show how films are inspired by other films. I feel much more educated after having watched this! I also loved basically every movie that you discussed in depth! Amazing job. We have the same taste in horror! Subscribed
It's truly amazing what you did here, i love horror and you did an outstanding job at highlighting how the genre has been evolving together with what is considered "scary" in each period of time
Fantastic video. Thanks for making it. It must have took some serious research!
i really enjoyed this video. as a fellow horror connoisseur, it's nice to see someone breakdown the evolution of the horror genre and it's sub categories, and the evolution from practical to CGI effects, etc. Great Job dude, keep it up. I remember watching your very early videos on the actual league spotlight, been subbed ever since the first one. keep it up homeslice!
I can't emphasize this enough: "Candyman" is very good and "The Forbidden" (the short story which it is based on) is truly great.
This is colossal work. And of course most of us can name some movies that are missing but are of huge significance. For me it would be "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?"
On 01:01:19 that't not Ridley Scott, this is HR Giger, the creator of the Xenomorph. On 01:01:26 this is Ridley Scott in the middle.
This is on level of The Story of Film. I have wanted something with this amount of detail for my favorite genre for a long time now. Outstanding work! Incredible.
Really awesome video! One small thing. James Wan is an Australian director, not american…..I would give a shoutout to Until Dawn, the interactive horror video game which sparked a new genre of interactive horror, a trend which has been further developed by Man of Medan…..and is likely to extend further over time
This is one of the best deep dkves into horror history I've ever seen, so incredibly put together with knowledge on literally anything and everything. Great work ❤
Even though there wasn't much gore in The Chainsaw Massacre, the scene with the old man hitting the girl on the head with a hammer was the most distressing scene in it.
By the way, love your channel!
What about Vincent Price a E. A. Poe films? Or the fly?
I just had TH-cam playing and it automatically played this video... THIS IS MAGICKARPUSEDFLY!?!?! I can't be the only person who just knows him from league videos.
I applaud you for this video man. Keep it up!
I am so glad that I stumbled across this video. I rarely watch videos of such a length, but I was glued to this. Thanks. 👍
I'm half way through this looooong documentary and I'm loving every minute of it, great job!💯🏆
Absolutely blown away by this video Matt. I’ve always loved horror movies but I’ve been gaining a bigger appreciation for movie history lately as I’ve been taking a Japanese Film course. Seeing all the historic elements play into the evolution of films and directors is just so interesting. Thanks for your hard work Matt and can’t wait to see what you do from here!
this video essay is one of the most perfectly put-together works I've seen on here. A masterclass.
Fun fact about Night of the Living Dead: lead role wasn’t written for a black man he was just the best actor, so all the racial culturally impact was unintentional
I never even thought of it as starring a black man, just an actor in that role. Weird how the people that notice it are usually the ones that constantly go on about racism
I was gonna write this. All racial significance is projected onto this. It’s not in the script.
i love it!! this was excellent and easy to follow. i took some notes so i could watch everything mentioned mostly in order especially some of the foreign films mentioned + their respective novels, i wasn't familiar with many of those. i love horror for teaching me so much and giving a voice/ creating a space for myself and specific other groups
I had no idea at the time of it's release Jennifer's Body was a flop. I was obsessed with that movie, and I really don't know anyone who doesn't like it? I was the demographic, so it's aggravating to see how poorly the studio treated such an important film.
I saw it in theaters on opening weekend, loved the shit out of it and was crazy disappointed when it didn't take off.
I'll _never_ understand why that happened, but I'm so happy to see it get the appreciation it deserves.
1:03:40
I have to disagree here, becuse cinematically Giallos ARE among the best of cinema.
Besides Film Noir they are one of the few genres that really indulge in all techniques of classical film making.
The dubbing seems to be a big concern only for Americans.
Most other countries are used to either dubbing or subtitles, and many countries consider voice actors as part of the art.
"The lip movement doesn't match" is simply nothing I even realize any more.
I’m 10 minutes in and… magnificent! I’m hooked. There goes my next two hours.
Thank you for creating this!! One of the best docs I have ever seen fr ❤❤❤
What a fantastic, sweeping doc on the history of horror in film. Well put together, well researched, insightful, interesting and it’s apparent that it was made with great love and respect for the horror genre. Also your speaking voice is very pleasant which, w/ a running time length such as this, is a must have or headaches often ensue. 😂 Yes you left out camp horror as a sub genre almost completely, but hey, nobody’s perfect, right? Really wanted 80/90’s camp classics such as Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness, Motel Hell, Death Becomes Her, and Deranged, which are films that pretty much birthed and/or revitalized the sub genre, to get some love thrown their way. Maybe make a second part? Plenty left to talk about in that pleasant voice of yours that is sure not to give one a headache. 😉Edit: AUDITION is in my top five greatest most favorite films of all time. Forget just in horror, but ALL TIME PERIOD, any genre, any year. It’s a masterpiece. Seen it hundreds of times. Have owned the deluxe two disc box set for like 18 years, and I still watch it to this day. It never gets old. Could talk about it, down to the lighting and the shot angle choices, all day. Truly a work of brilliance. Thank you for showing it so much appreciation.
He never mentioned William Castle once, too busy virtue signalling zzzzzzzzzz
@@MrCharlesWidmore Among many, many others, He made the 60’s camp-ish psychological thriller film Straightjacket with Joan Crawford right???? I LOVE THAT FILM. And I own it. Sadly, that film gets criminally ignored and chronically overlooked even when talking about Joan Crawford’s body of work. At most, it’s dismissed as “past her prime” 🙄. At worst, it gets totally ignored. When it’s actually a twisty, gloriously over the top, manic fever dream ride and I love it to death 🖤😂 Joan is fabulous as a woman smiling wildly through her “psychosis”, lighting matches on spinning records 🤣 Very cool you mentioned it’s director. 👍
Makes me glad to see old school horror getting more recognition as it should be!
Yea the old horror films can never be beaten like the excorcist pysco hslloween friday the 13th like you just cant make horror films like them anymore even carrie is a classic.
Hey man, as a long time viewer.
Im absolutely astounded at this jump of passion and heart put into this video.
Not that your previous work is shabby in any way. But every minute of this oozes art, commitment and deep knowledge on the subject. And it reminded me. This is exactly what you went to college to study, Films and filmmaking.
I know it sounds like im just stateing the obvious but holy shit as someone who wants to make videos this is literal perfection. Not in the way that it's perfect, but its been perfectly crafted. I cannot wait to see your future content once again just like how i was 6 years ago waiting for your league videos in middle school. Bravo my man.
Oh man--I am happy to see you doing long form videos! I can't wait to see more :D This was a fun watch!
I love it. At 41:12 you referenced a Dexter's Laboratory episode called "Slightly Psycho." After seeing that episode, I changed my Truck Driver/CB Handle to "Pslytely Psycho." I posted it in large chrome letters on the side of my Frieghtliner and have used it for every login that allowed pseudonyms ever since, including my bank.
Although I already had decided to like the video, at that point you earned my sub! Awesome!
As you didn't mention it, one of my personal favorites from the silent era is 1922's Häxan. Absolutely goofy and strange.
I have odd tastes, like 1964's The Flesh Eaters (but only with the Nazi references, or else it makes no sense) and 1972's ultra low budget Invasion of the Blood Farmers. Poorly acted, stupid characters, Druid princesses, a perennial favorite of mine....it was also very hard to find a copy of for my collection. Toss in 1970's Equinox with Asmodeus as a park ranger and 1959's Kon Tiki the Immortal Monster you see where my head is....
Pslytely Psycho obviously....
I hope you're okay. Wherever your life takes you Matt. This is nostalgic.
Last time I watched his videos was when he moved to 40K. I wonder if he's still doing 40K content...
This is a really well done doc. You covered everything you wanted/needed to without it becoming overly bloated.
Got me remembering the first experience I had with horror being Are you Afraid of the Dark and this the remake of The McPherson Tape that came out in 1998. This made me realize how far my taste in movies has come. Again, great job!
No mention of Vincent Price? 😮
I miss you bro, grew up watching you play league of legends. Still watch them sometimes. Hope youre doing well, much love.
Thanks for going over the technical parts of filming and how the screen is used to manipulate the audience. I remember that vanishing point/one point perspective technique from when I took understanding filmmaking in college. Filmmakers are storytellers with a different medium than books, and it's good to understand how and why it works.
So good to see Giallo get some love, been an Argento fan for so damn long but nobody talks about it
The effort! Wow! I forgot I was watching TH-cam! Content like yours is the reason I watch such little TV! Thanks for effort!
There’s a great documentary called Nightmares:red white and blue
Where they go more in depth in how horror films and what was going on in the world at the time of their creation
ooo thanks for putting me on!
Oooh, thank you.😮🤔
I like how James and Leigh are just 2 chill aussie guys irl when the people who think saw is the most disturbing thing ever are prob terrified of the "sick minds who could even think of such a thing" 😂
This was great. I havent sat down and watched anything in one sitting in awhile. Makes me wanna go back and revisit some classics. He breaks down the shining cinematography perfectly. I love 80s and 90s horror movies.
Outstanding sir! Well done and very informative and entertaining! Thank you!
I can't believe I'm barely finding this video now. As a horror fan I absolutely loved this video its really made me appreciate the movies I love more and has given me a lot more movies to go home and watch! Thanks man!
I love this retrospective. Also, J-horror is such a fascinating topic all on its own and i am glad it is referenced just as much as western horror because it is such an important part of forging the genre including the framework of gaint monster movies and Slashers. Also, aaayyyyyeee, early 90s bros!! We grew up in a great age for blossoming horror fans
that full body fire stunt in Thing From Another World was incredible- what a scene !!!
Jennifers Body is like the Mean Girls of horror- a new age classic
I actually saw Jennifer's Body in the theater on opening weekend and I loved it. I didn't understand why it got middling reviews and didn't make a bunch of money.
It's so nice to see it getting the appreciation it deserves years later.
Why the hell would u talk about the Texas chainsaw massacre before the exorcist even tho the exorcist came out first ahhh HHhH
Great documentary honoring the history of horror films 🤘 being a cinephile, absolutely loving horror films as well, this was done with great care and an understanding of the genre and its subgenres. Loved it! Keep it going!
This is so interesting! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Words cannot express how fun this was to watch. Absolutely incredible!!! Thank you for your hard work at making such a great documentary.
I agree. when Mel Brooks did his 'High Anxiety' tribute to him, he said, "we were talking about it, Hitchcock and me, and I've got Hitchcock pitching me jokes" as I recall, MB liked one joke, but it didn't get used. best line in it: Brooks pesters a bellboy to pick him up a newspaper, and the guy brings the paper into his shower, stabs him w/ it, "here's your damn paper!" they focus on Mel's face up close on the floor, like Janet Leigh, staring into nothing, when Mel says, "that kid gets NO tip!" I'm still rolling on the floor. the way the scene is done, is brilliant.
Great video alot of insightful information about horror movies and how they have evolved over the years. But i am offended by the lack of hellraiser
Speaking about king Kong..you must realize the world was a different place nearly 100 years ago! Hopefully the world will be a different place again in another 100 years or less. I won't try to eraze history though, unlike many loonies currently influencing with agendas etc
Exactly, certain groups want to erase history so it can be repeated
this is one of the best videos ive ever seen on youtube about horror ! keep up the fantastic work man!
Outstanding video mate with some great depth, excellent work
King Kong being about racism and colonialism is based on that "study"? Or the original creator's intent.
If it isn't the original creators intent then it doesn't matter. This sounds like some Joseph Campbell pseudo science bullshit. You can apply the same horse shit to any book or story.
I’m normally skeptical about overly focusing on racism in old films, but have you seen King Kong? Once there is a scene of a Black shaman literally trying to trade 6 Black women for one white woman, it’s pretty clear there are some racist undertones (the only question is if the director was trying, poorly, to subvert them, or if he supported them, and I’m not sure about the answer to that).
This is frankly one of, if not the best documentary on horror films and their influence that I have ever seen. It’s a pity you can’t get it on DVD.
If you really wanted to, you could download the video and burn it onto a DVD disc, but that's dumb, you could always just put it into a usb drive and be able to play it on most devices.
There are way better documentaries than this . Stop being a suck up .
This video is SO detailed and well-made, its honestly better than most documentaries I've ever seen.
Maybe you've only picked shit documentaries to watch then...
Amazing work on this ! Enjoyed your dedication and knowledge shared ! Great job
I can watch horror docos all day long. Particularly enjoyed this one, my friend. Knowledgeable and passionate, with nice touches and humour. Keep up the good work!
This was AMAZING! Maybe you can help me figure out a movie I watched as a kid. It was from the late 60s or early 70s. It seemed like a trilogy. One short had a young couple who wrecked off a bridge and the girl would catch rides after her death but never make it to her home. The second one had a weird sound coming out of a well. The family dog fell into the well and the dad was lowered in to retrieve the dog. When he was lifted out, a picture fell off a wall. That made the wife immediately know something was wrong. Of course the dad was insane when he was lifted out. I’ve always wanted to watch it again, but can’t seem to find it. Hopefully you can help since you seem so well informed about horror movies👍
In 60 years I have never once met anyone who tied the slave trade to king kong. The reaching here is insane and ridiculous
This is genuinely one of the best horror deep dives I’ve seen- kudos.
this is not just a horror masterclass but a film masterclass. subbed!
