All-Time Favorit 60s/70s Horror Movie

Now, we're talkin' horror, not slasher (though, I suppose, they could intersect.)

I'm sure I left out a ton of great Hammer horror flicks, in addition to strange lesbian vampire movies from Italy and France. But we're talkin' mainstream here...

I don't know if that should be included.

...it was filmed in '79--and it definitely has a 70s sensibility. :)

Cassavetes, Ruth Gordon, Mia Farrow.... Great cast, great flick!

Made in '60.

.

starring Julie Harris.

I couldn't (and didn't) go to see *any* horror movie in the 60's or the 70's because of a horror movie I saw in the 50's...

It was at a neighborhood theatre and I don't think my dad and 20-some-years-older cousin knew what they were getting into when they brought me in. (Maybe they thought it was some sort of contemporary 'Scaramouche'.)

I didn't speak a word of English. I was 4 years old. I saw "The Fly". The Vincent Price original...

It was the first cinema experience I ever had, and I still remember being vividly enchanted by the huge figures moving and flashing and turning on the big screen. I was trying real hard to figure out what the story was, totally captivated...

Then all of a sudden, I was out of my chair, on the floor, crouching behind the seat in front of me, hiding from that monster with the hideous head, screaming at the top of my lungs.

I've never actually seen the whole movie (or the Jeff Goldblum/Gina Davis remake), but I finally caught part of the end, on TV, sometime in the 90's....

Generally speaking, I've never been a very big fan of horror movies, as a genre.

The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby are also great horror flicks as well.

NOTLD still creeps me out, as do all of the sequels.

I saw its alive at about 13, talked my dad into taking me to see it. Scared the f*** out of me!

But then again, so did "Legend of Boggy Creek"

scared the living shit out of me. (Flight of the Living Shit?)

Being re-made with Nic. Cage !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

can you believe that shit? If his accent in 'Captain Corelli's Mandolin' is any indication of what we're in for when he plays a Scot - we're in for one BAD!!! movie.

BTW, The Wicker Man is a great pic, see the DVD if you have a chance, it has some great features including a documentary featuring Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee and Ingrid Pitt.

in the original?
What a great movie. Watched it again just a couple of weeks ago. One of my old professors composed that score (and never told me) Who in the hell is gonna pull off the Britt Ekland role? She was certainly in her...ahem...prime in that movie. I can't think of any current contenders.

I'll have to find it - the movie.

About a mean, ancient scary monster, played by Joan Crawford.

Oh, and there was a caveman in it, too.

Runner-up: Texas Chainsaw Massacre

:-)

Now that was truely a horror movie!

It was way after midnight when I left the movie theatre after seeing Rocky and his gang. And it was raining as I drove home... :scared:

I guess it was pretty cool when I was in high school... The biggest mistake they made was releasing it on video. Without the crowd, it's a really, really bad movie.

It's been years since I last saw it, but I still have an occasional nightmare. Which just goes to show you that psychological terror is far more frightening than slice-and-dice!

Oh, I've seen the movie. I love it. I just don't know if I want to watch it alone. (I didn't get 'the version you've never seen,' by the way. I like the original. Plus, the extra scenes are still in there as extras.)

Interestingly, I've got a movie buff friend who is a lapsed Catholic and won't ever watch it. Just the thought of it freaks him out too much!

but I had to vote for it anyway.

Rosemary's Baby is my second choice.

eeewww
