I agree, film making was still young and audiences were naive in their tastes. But do feel there was more emphasis on story telling than shocking them and as a result, the films we have are very rich stories rather than just to shock or repulse. Love James whale. I do have a soft spot for the old films and think that being in black and white ads to the atmosphere. The most frightening film I have eve seen, which I still can't watch on my own is 'The Spiral Staircase.
