== History ==
Determining the first action horror film may be dependent on both how one may define action and horror. Horror movie has historically some action set pieces, such as chase scenes but most early films wouldn't be likely to be described in such a fashion. The mixing of action and horror genres began more pronounced in the 1960s from a variety of unrelated sources.
Within comic fiction, more action adventure series mixed with horror elements. One of the earlier series to do this was early Batman comics, as now he is more associated with supervillains, some of his first stories involved mad scientists and vampires. Similarly, in Japan, artist Mizuki Shigeru began several kamishibai series, one of which, Gegege no Kitaro, would detail the adventures of a yokai who would battle other yokai to protect people.
