It is beleived that "Le Manoir de Diable" (House of the Devil) was the first horror movie.
It was filmed by Georges Melies in France in 1896.
There is a slight conflict as to which movie was the first horror film. First, "The Execution of Mary Stuart" was produced by American inventor Thomas Edison in 1895. It was only 18 seconds in length, and it depicted a woman being beheaded. In 1896, Georges Melies made "Le Manoir du diable" (The House of the Devil) which was 1-2 minutes in length and depicted Mephistopheles summoning ghosts and demons.
Longer films didn't really appear until the 1900's. The first American horror film of the 20th century is Edison Studios' version of Frankenstein, made in 1910. Though many classify Quasimodo, the hunchback of Notre Dame, as a monster and thus as a horror character, I feel his story is more of a tragic romance. If you think Quasimodo is a monster, then the first full-length horror film is Alice Guy's "Esmeralda" (1906), otherwise the first full-length horror film is from Germany, Paul Wegener's "The Golem" (1910).

The first Horror movie ever made was called Le Manoir Du Diable. It was made in 1890 and was the first movie ever to feature "film switches." Film switches were when they didn't have special effects, they'd just switch the camera angles.
Horror as a literary genre game from gothic fiction , which often featured supernatural elements and in turn had origins in folktales and ghost stories... an example would be Bluebeard, which is pretty obviously recognisable as a horror story in plot, tone, and structure. The earliest horror novel known to most modern readers is Marry Shelley's "Frankenstein".
In 1896 a movie was made called 'Le Manoir Du Diable' meaning 'The Devil's Castle'. It is recorded as the first horror movie ever made.
