Re: 70's horrors

A movie that really creeped me out as a child, was The Premature Burial with Ray Milland, I still have nightmares thinking about it now!

I always liked Countess Dracula, not for the horror but for Ingrid Pitt, she was a real vixen in it.

Time to revive this thread. Sure staffslad will not mind.

Being Australian I have to say Patrick. (1976). It has now warranted a remake with Charles Dance in the lead. Not sure if it was the 70s but I also enjoyed The Changeling with George C Scott. Very chilling.

I think The Changeling was just pushing into the 80s, but a good film.

Dawn of the Dead from 1978, but not shown in the UK until 1979 under its alternate title 'Zombies'. I saw it at the cinema and was so impressed that I went to see it a few days later. Great special effects from Tom Savini, and my favourite of Romero's zombie films.

The Crazies. Forget the remake and see the 1973 original. Actually, I am not sure if this should be classed as a zombie movie, but darn it is good. It has that 'dingy' look that was so prevalent in the 70s.

Ghost Story from 1974 with Marianne Faithfull. Haunted house tale set in old country house.

Weird film, that!

It is rather weird. I liked the fact it was set in the 30s I think it was.

Re: 70's horrors

'Ghost Story' is, indeed, an odd little film. Only saw it once, probably early 80s when the BBC showed it late on a friday night.

A couple more:

The Gore Gore Girls from 1972 with probably nobody you've heard of, including me. HG Lewis splatter film about someone killing go-go dancers.

Horror Hospital from 1973 with robin Askwith. Gory goings-on in a very strange medical facility.

Re: 70's horrors

This might've been brought up on this thread before, but it would take ages wading through the whole thing to see if it has. Has anyone ever seen 'Frankenstein-The True Story'?

Re: 70's horrors

The Toolbox Murders is quite good(the Tobe Hooper remake isn't bad either) Another 70s' horror is The Corpse Grinders- and it's terrible!

I have a pre cert of Toolbox Murders, it's cut though.
I far prefer Corpse Grinders, it's stupid but very entertaining.
