Main Task Research: Horror films through the decades: the 40's

The main horror characters from the 30's (Dracula, Frankenstein and The Mummy) carried on into the 40's with sequels such as The Mummy's Tomb (1942), Son Of Dracula (1943) and Ghost of Frankenstein (1942). There were also new revitalized films of other characters such as The Wolf Man (1941).


                        

However in the 1940's no one really had any interest in Cinema as the Second World War was taking place and everyone in the world was either fighting for their country, hiding in their bomb shelters or helping clear the streets of rubble from air raids during the night; No one had time to sit in a cinema watching films or were simply just too scared to leave their house.
