How would Victorian people react to horror stories and movies today?
Jump to: Newest in thread
I was watching a TV movie earlier set in the 1800s where it showed a scene where people reacted in horror while watching a play of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and it made me wonder, how would the Victorian people react to the horror stories and movies we know today?
I can imagine they would be absolutely terrified especially if they saw something like The Exorcist for example. |

"The reality of life for many people in Victorian times far exceeded any horror movie we could show them"
Exactly ! I worked for a while with refugees from awful situation and they hated horror or violent films as it was too close to home. For most of us it's a safe form of escapism. |

They'd probably agree that the movie Cats is utter shite. |
