Okay, so I’ve been digging into this whole “Pre-Code Horror Movies” thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride.
What I Did First
First off, I had to figure out what this “Pre-Code” stuff even meant. Turns out, back in the early 1930s, Hollywood was like the Wild West. They were putting out all sorts of crazy stuff, and it took me a few movies to understand. Then this dude named Hays came along and was like, “Hold up, we need some rules!” That’s how the “Hays Code” got started, around mid-1934. It basically listed all the stuff you couldn’t show in movies anymore.
My Movie Marathon
Before 1934 things were way different. So, I started watching a bunch of these old movies. I dove into this movie called “Frankenstein”. It got me hooked. I thought, “Yeah, this is what I’m talking about!” I mean, the stuff they were doing back then? No way they could get away with that after 1934.
What I Found Out
I realized that these Pre-Code movies were way more intense. I watched a few other movies, like “It Happened One Night,” “The Thin Man,” and “Duck Soup.” These were released at the same time with Frankenstein, but the style is totally different. It’s really something else. Frankenstein is much wilder, weirder, and more thrilling. I was just blown away by how much they pushed the boundaries before the Hays Code stepped in.
My Conclusion
- Pre-Code Era: A time of creative freedom in Hollywood.
- Hays Code: Changed everything.
- Frankenstein: A perfect example of the kind of wild stuff they made before the rules.
So, that’s my journey into the world of Pre-Code horror. It’s been a blast from the past, and I’m definitely going to keep exploring this era. There’s just so much cool, crazy stuff to discover!
