D.W. Griffith brings us the longest running horror movie to date (1909). It is less horror and more tragic as the movie is probably one of the first Horror movies to actually tug on your heart strings a bit. This is also a movie that proves that there are other directors out there not just George Melies.
The story is simple enough, we have a king who has constructed a Pleasure Room for himself and his concubine. But alas, this concubine is not faithful and she goes ahead and screws around with the court troubadour. The king, heartbroken and sad, commands his masons to seal the concubine and her lover in this Pleasure Room the two embrace as the oxygen is depleted and die in each others arms.
What do i think of this? Well, D.W. Griffit...
