No two humans shrink from exactly the same things. For instance, people with ranidaphobia might tremble at the 1972 “Frogs,” in which giant amphibians terrorize people on the island estate of a millionaire polluter. The rest of us would guffaw. (Its tag line: “Today the pond, tomorrow the world!”). The genre of screen horror goes back to silent days, when vampires and zombies walked a black-and-white Earth. But those movies (”Nosferatu” and “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari”) no longer inspire shudders in 21st-century movie fans. I suspect that’s also true of the great first-generation horror movies of the talking-picture era: “Freaks,” “Dracula,” “Frankenstein.”
