This is a movie created in 1920 that still comes into some topics of today. Dr. Jekyll attempted to create an experiment that went completely wrong and causes him to become an angry morphed side of himself. This version is a silent movie, but still gets the creepy plot across to its viewers. Also, if you ever visit NYC, you should attend the Jekyll and Hyde cafe. It has workers in costumes that come up to your table and attempt to scare you. They also have live entertainment of some of these workers or of the many props they have situated around the cafe. For example, they have old-looking portraits of either people or creatures whose eyes follow you as you walk by. And don't worry.. it is most childish than actually scary so don't be frightened to go and grab some dinner with a few friends.
I think the horror of old times is what interests me the most. A lot of what was considered terrifying to people back in the day is not so scary to us anymore... most likely due to the advancement of special effects and other aspects of the movies, but given that they did not have as much technology as us they still produce great films with great plot lines. Much of the plots that our society uses is derived from ideas before but just expressed in a more modern way.
