Where did the death culture get its start ?

Facetious

So who ? William Henry Pratt aka Boris Karloff (circa 1887 1969) :dunno: I know that Black Sabbath, as a band, in the beginning were heavily influenced by Boris Karloff films. I'm certain that the culture of darkness, death and horror goes way back before Boris had anything to do with it.
Fill me in ! What do you got ? ;)

Has the culture itself faded in and out over the decades, losing popularity for a time, if you will, only to be reinvigorated or manifested in music, once again, all over again ?


What's the earliest material that you know to be on record. Is it film or text / publication ?

Thx !
