Almost forgot Halloween, one of my favourite horror films!

i couldn't get into the Halloween films myself, i just found them (especially Michael Myers) extremely boring, he's just so lame, all he does is *walk, stab, choke, walk, stab, choke* -_-

i watched the first 6 and thought they were all sh*t

Re: 70's horrors

I think the first movie still holds up well, providing you watch it from the perspective of someone who hasn't seen any of the 100s of slasher movies that it inspired.
Back when it was first made, mainstream audiences hadn't yet been desensitised to slasher flicks.
However, I understand that watching it in 2012, after all the slasher films that followed, it does seem very tame & plodding.
I'll always have a soft spot for the first Halloween, part 2 was not bad, but the rest are terrible.

And as it's that time of year, are there any fans of Black Christmas (1974)out there ?
A seasonal slasher movie from a few years before the genre took off.

Re: 70's horrors

Yes, big fan of that film.
The Canadains invented the genre essentially with that film.


Another very good proto-slasher is Fright (1971 British film with Susan George, Ian Bannen, Honor Blackman, John Gregson and George Cole)

Re: 70's horrors

another very good seventies horror is the beast in the cellar which stars beryl reed.
the beast being the 2 sisters brother who has been locked up in the cellar for 30 yrs but then escapes.

never seen black christmas.

Some unintentionally funny horror, which used to be shown on TV a lot:

This was brilliant. But hardly gets an airing either:

I remember seeing and hearing trailers for this classic!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEVY_lonKf4

A pretty good TV movie, which shouldn't have been remade:

This trailer was better than the movie. But It still chills my spine!

In particular Psychomania is one of my all time faves,
Amazing soundtrack by Library legend John Cameron too.
