I know it's been said, but, that... isn't true at all.

sigh

Human Monsters have always been present in cinema - And they ALWAYS "could have been your neighbor." Not novel of the 21st Century.

Black Christmas
Peeping Tom
Tenebre
Psycho
Halloween
Alice, Sweet Alice
Etc.

There's no transition here. Human Monsters existed AND Inhuman Monsters existed. There's no transition between the two.

Maybe pick a subgenre of horror and compare it to itself - The progression of the Slasher, for example...

Take the movies above and compare them to Ils, Inside, The Strangers, Halloween (remake), etc.

Or, as Urge mentioned, more relevant would be how horror movies reflect current socioeconomic times. How do horror movies reflect our collective conscious of fear?
