OMG - Don't Look Now PETRIFIED ME as a kid.

My grandad watched it once when he was looking after me. I was about 6, and he put it on assuming I would ignore the telly and just play with my toys. I used to always sit behind the sofa while I played.

I haven't ever watched it since, but i still remember the red coat, and screaming when my mum bought me a red duffell coat the next winter.

Re: Seventies Horror Films

Just watching that now made me go cold.

I bet if I had watched it as an adult I wouldn't even think it was scary!

Does anyone remember a programme that was on one halloween called ghos****ch? I was a kid when that was on, and it scared me too. I recently bought the DVD and watched it and looking back it was so rediculous, I don't know how I ever did find it scary! lol

Re: Seventies Horror Films

Seen most of them except beast in the cellar( was Oliver Reed in that one?) Saw loads of dodgy 70's horror while dating Mrs P. The film industy was in the doldrums in the early 70's( till Star Wars) and our local flea pit only ran a cheap horror and soft porn double bill on a Friday nite. Still bus fare, two tickets and chips on the way home for a round £1 result.

Re: Seventies Horror Films

Seen all those except Black Christmas. There were some genuinely creepy films in the 70's before the slasher movie took hold and the audience demographic changed forever.

Re: Seventies Horror Films

Don`t know if this is 70`s but me and a mate watch the Texas Chainsaw Masacare for the first time in about 98. I thought it was funny and was laughing all the way through but mate was sat there all the way hiding behind the cushion and we were both about about 24 lol. Remember watching The Exorcist when I was 15 and the picture fell off the wall right when the girl`s head spins round in our house and not sleeping for 3 nights unless we had all the lights on in the house.

Re: Seventies Horror Films

They've remade a lot of seventies horror films. Totally not necessary, but the best one is probably TCM.
