Werewolf (194 1 year)
Director: Jorge Wagner

The enlightenment works of the "werewolf" branch of the four major ethnic groups in western KB movies, but many "werewolf movies" were influenced by this film later.

If a werewolf bites another person, the other person will also become a werewolf, which has become an established pattern in future werewolf movies.

"Devil's Baby" ranks 9th among the "25 Best Films of All Time" selected by Entertainment Weekly, and it is a classic of KB movies. This film can be regarded as Polanski's tribute to Hitchcock. At the same time, as a director who is neither a KB film nor an entertainment film, he did not shoot KB films with the suffocating climax of ordinary KB films, but distributed KB with various elements in life, which was widely used for reference by later KB films, including the well-known "Midnight Ring".

Texas chainsaw massacre, Texas (1974)
Director: Toby Hooper
Starring: Jessica Biel
Country: USA
The masterpiece of this KB movie has no bloody posters and titles, and there are no close-ups of bloody killings and wounds. It's about keeping it all off camera. It makes you feel really suffocated and scared, but it's not as exhausting as other KB movies. Sally is regarded as the dinner of a half-dead killer in the film. Although she finally escaped, it was only the human body that successfully resisted the chopping of an axe. This scene is considered to be the most unpleasant scene in movies in the 1970s.
Halloween (1978)
Director: j carpente
Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis
Country: USA
This film was the most successful independent film at that time, which changed the consistent face of KB movies and was regarded as the most important KB movie after Frankenstein.

Screaming (1996)
Director: Wes Klein
Starring: Roger Jackson
Country: USA
It seems a bit inappropriate to put such a KB movie with obvious youthful nostalgia in it, but the series of Scream and the series of movies derived from it have revived the American KB movie that has been gradually depressed in the 1990s. A large number of classic KB movie fragments involved in the film and their influence on later KB movies can be said to be a simple summary. At the same time, the film invited many KB stars to make guest appearances. For example, in The Exorcist, the little girl possessed by ghosts plays a reporter who growls "People's Right to Know", which makes this film and series become the teaching materials of American KB movies.
Ring at midnight (1999)
Director: Hideo Nakata
Starring: Matsushima Nanako
Country: Japan
Following the traditional Japanese ghost films "Four Valley Romance" and "Peony Lantern", this film created a "KB movie in the post-midnight era". It is completely different from the traditional Japanese KB film. They have subverted the past, developed a set of marketing models and connotations, and even created a brand-new KB movie language. Its rich color of oriental metaphysics also makes its KB unique, and the film tops the box office. After that, the remake of "The Ring of Midnight" also exceeded 654.38+0 billion at the box office in the United States.
Blair Witch Project (1999)
Director: Daniel Mirek
Starring: Hai Zi donahue
Country: USA
This is not only the biggest dark horse in Hollywood in the summer of 1999, but also a low-cost film with an investment of only10 million dollars, which writes a new concept of ghost films. This film is in the form of a documentary. Previously, it was through external means such as the Internet to create a KB atmosphere for the film, which made the audience confuse the actual situation. Although Blair Witch, the core of KB in the film, never appeared directly, the clues she created became the classic female ghost in True and False.
