When horror took over from SF ? edit

I would've picked Creature from the Black Lagoon from 1954 - - - an entire two years prior - - - as the point when horror supposedly took over from SF.

Then again, what about Forbidden Planet (1956)and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1961) and many of the UFO and "radiation scare" movies?

Also, I think the phrase of "began to take over" is a little strong. I wouldn't say "take over" but would say "began to emerge as a strong movie genre in its own right;" especially considering when British movie studio Hammer Films basically specialized in the horror genre starting in 1955. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 02:46, 8 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
