All CMBA members are welcome to write about any horror film, director, actor or topic made from the start of cinema through the Pre-Code era (1934). Celebrate early cinema and Pre-Code era — films before 1934 that blend horror and societal unease, revealing terror not only in monsters but in human frailty, darker instincts, and existential dread.
