The 30s marked the first time the word “horror” was officially used to describe the genre. During this decade, classics like the second adaptation ofFrankenstein(1931),The Mummy(1932), and the first color version ofDr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde(1931) came out. Horror films were becoming so intense they ended up heavily censored to avoid shocking audiences too much. One extreme example isFreaks(1932), a film so unsettling that it was significantly edited—its original version now lost—and even banned in the UK for 30 years.
