What makes the horror flicks from the '80s and '90s scarier than modern horror cinema? It’s not about the stories or how they are told; sometimes, it all just depends on how these films look and make us feel through their visuals. It is those grainy textures, low picture quality, film glitches, murky lighting, and audio hiss of those VHS tapes that invoke the real horror. In the 1980s, the Japanese anime boom in the U.S. was through VHS tapes, which were something of a treasure for the younger audience of that generation. Cult films like Akira, Devilman or Vampire Hunter D marked the beginning of a new era when the regular audience of the American Morning Show was exposed to something darker and more mature in the form of animation. Be it body horror, survival horror, or science fiction, these anime played a major role in terrorizing the audience; the analog fear formed by these VHS tapes added the cherry on top. Distorted pictures, glitches and scratches and most importantly, the ominous soundtrack made some of these films the perfect nightmare inducer.
