| B&W or Colour?
In my opinion , the best horror films are those shot in B&W . Not only because , usually due to budget or technology , they generally relied more on the suggestion of scary things , rather than awful CGI footage or 'special effects' monsters , but also because B&W is inherently closer to real horror than colour.
After all , at night , and without adequate light - the time when we are usually most afraid - our vision is generally retricted to black & white or shdes of grey
Certainly in my view , with the exception of The Amityville Horror (original version) all of my favourite horror films were shot in B&W , including the one I love best , Night Of The Demon |
