Horror films are movies that strive to elicit fear, horror and terror responses from viewers. In the plots of such films themes of the supernatural colliding with our world are very common.
Otherwise the theme can be completely “supernatural” without any trace whatsoever of reality.
Horror movies usually include a central villain. Early horror are largely based on classic literature of the gothic/ horror genre, such as Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, Phantom of the Opera and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Later horror films, in contrast, often drew inspiration from the insecurities of life after World War II, giving rise to the three distinct, but related, sub-genres: the horror-of-personality Psycho film, the horror-of-armageddon Invasion of the Bodysnatchers film, and the horror-of-the-demonic Hellraiser film.
The last sub-genre may be seen as a modernized transition from the earliest horror films, expanding on their emphasis on supernatural agents that bring horror to the world. Read more …

Batman Begins composers Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard returned to score the sequel. Composition began before shooting, and during filming Nolan received an iPod with ten hours of recordings.
Their nine-minute suite for the Joker is based around two notes. Zimmer compared its style to that of Kraftwerk, a band from his native Germany, as well to bands like The Damned.
When Ledger died, Zimmer felt like scrapping and composing a new theme, but decided that he could not be sentimental and compromise the “evil [performance] projects”.
Howard composed Dent’s “elegant and beautiful” themes, which are brass-focused.
The Dark Knight was ranked the 15th greatest film in history on Empire’s 2008 list of the “500 Greatest Movies of All Time”, based upon the weighted votes of 10,000 readers, 150 film directors, and 50 key film critics.
Heath Ledger’s interpretation of the Joker was also ranked number three on Empire’s 2008 list of the “100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time”
