Halloween Deep Red Jaws Demon Seed Long Weekend Black Xmas The Wickerman What Have You Done To Solange What Have They Done To Your Daughters enjoyable trash: Hitch Hike To Hell Empire Of The Ants Day Of The Animals Killer's Moon Horror Hospital Last House On The Left The Beast Must Die Eaten Alive (Lenzi) Trip with The Teacher Dracula AD 1972 never been able to sit through The Excorcist, given it about half a dozen tries over the years. something about it bores me to death Title: Re: TOP 10 Favorite 1970s HORROR FILMS !!! Post by: Rev. Powell on January 21, 2015, 12:57:55 PM never been able to sit through The Excorcist, given it about half a dozen tries over the years. something about it bores me to death Actually, I agree somewhat... it has a very slow start. Once it gets moving there is a lot to enjoy. Title: Re: TOP 10 Favorite 1970s HORROR FILMS !!! Post by: zombie no.one on January 21, 2015, 03:46:43 PM you're right Rev, it's the start. it seems to drag on forever. maybe next time I'll skip it in a bit!
Title: Re: TOP 10 Favorite 1970s HORROR FILMS !!! Post by: Allhallowsday on January 25, 2015, 06:20:17 PM you're right Rev, it's the start. it seems to drag on forever. maybe next time I'll skip it in a bit! The beginning of that film, the views of Georgetown, the subtle lulling of the audience, autumn leaves falling, is perhaps my favorite part. Then it starts and it gets uglier and uglier. I think the film is still shocking. Title: Re: TOP 10 Favorite 1970s HORROR FILMS !!! Post by: Trevor on January 29, 2015, 01:05:39 AM I think the film is still shocking.
