Twitter Account Highlights Gorgeous Cinematography In Horror Films

Horror movies are often dismissed as being full of blood, guts, and nudity. Films like The Shining, Rosemary’s Baby, or, The Exorcist receive acclaim from their gorgeous cinematography, thanks to the talent behind the cameras, but many other films with just as compelling direction are often overlooked.
