Cool now I get to see more amazing 60's horror! I always love it when I hear about a great horror film I've never heard of. One of my favorites is Whatever Happened to Baby Jane (1962) with Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. Every time I see it I swear I'll never put myself through such an ordeal again, and then I watch it again anyway. Thank you for sharing! Liked and subscribed.
Some great choices. I'd have to include masque of the red death and something by hammer. Maybe and Frankenstein created woman, or curse of the werewolf.
The 60's produced so many great movies --Carnival of Souls, The Haunting, Black Sunday, Night of the Living Dead, The Devil Rides Out, Horror of Dracula, Brides of Dracula, Curse of Frankenstein, The Mummy ( with Lee and Cushing), Rosemary's Baby ---the list goes on and on.
Excellent list, can't argue with your choices, though still haven't seen ''Viy'' (although I've got the Eureka release) & Ingmar Bergman's ''Hour of the Wolf'' (which is on my most wanted watch list), so instead I would include ''Rosemary's Baby'' (1968) & ''The Collector'' (1965). Just subscribed because of your great taste in movies. Greetings from The Netherlands.
Love your list, I still need to see Peeping Tom and Seconds, love that you put Carnival of Souls on the top spot. It's such a wonderful dreamlike trip of a movie, so great. Have you seen the director's cut as well, which cut do you prefer? Cheers!✌💚
Thanks for Viy, I'd never heard of it. Great job with lesser known surreal horror of the 60s, and thanks for new (to me) must-watch movies. The Haunting is a favorite of mine, subtle building chill; I think it could have been called Influence. Appreciate the unusual content. Well done!
Just curious, not judging, but do you think Repulsion is better than Rosemary's Baby, or were you just trying to go deeper like you did when you left Psycho off the list? I haven't seen Repulsion yet, but RB is one of my favorite films of all time.
@@terryflynn6927 I like a Repulsion a whole lot more than Rosemary’s Baby, and it’s just because of my sensibilities. It just has always resonated to me more. But don’t get me wrong, I think Rosemary is a great movie.
Love all the stuff on this list that I've seen including The Haunting seen for the first time at Cinematic Void! Seconds has been burning a hole in my watchlist. Personal favorites not mentioned: The Innocents, Onibaba, and The Cremator
@@FordeJules there was a version where Onibaba and The Innocents were on there, as well as Kuroneko and Kwaidan. This one ended up being tougher than I thought because I felt like l was definitely leaving stuff out.
I've seen 8 out of the 10. Psycho will always be my fave 60s Horror flick. It's very atmospheric. I saw it on TV in the 60s, I think I was about 6 or 7. Chewed the leg off my Gumby toy I was so scared. Still my fave, I do like your list. I've seen parts of the Borus Karloff movie and parts of the Rock Hudson movie. I must watch them in their entirety. Great spooky music playing in the background!!
In no special order: 1 Village of the Damned, 2 Burn, Witch, Burn, 3 Eye of the Devil, 4 Horror Hotel, 5 Hush-Hush Sweet Charlotte, 6 The Frozen Dead, 7 Witchcraft,(1965) 8 Spider Baby, 9 Terror in the Haunted House, 10 The Nanny. In addition to the others titles listed of course
Nice Coalesce shirt. I would have put on Onibaba, The Innocents, Seance on a Wet Afternoon, Planet of the Vampires, Jigoku , The Haunting, Kuroneko, Rosemary’s Baby, Night of the Living Dead and Carnival of Souls.
My parents would go out on Saturday night's when I was a kid. One Saturday night, they went out, as usual and Carnival of Souls was on t.v. It stuck with me and scared the crap out of me as it does to this day. There is a remake of it but, it's terrible! If you people out there haven't seen the original, check it out.
Great list! Would throw in somewhere The Incredibly Strange Creatures who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies (for sheer weirdness), and Blood Feast (for sheer sleaze)--also--The Innocents, The Cremator, Black Sabbath, Masque of Red Death (cause Corman's Poe films), Black Sunday (cause Barbara Steele), Quatermass and the Pit
I kind of hesitate to call Targets a horror film itself, but it occupies a really interesting place as a film *about* the genre and where it was at by 1967, and the way classic gothic horror was being displaced by more contemporary monsters. Great film either way, of course.
That's a good list! Sadly, I've only seen half, and the other half have all been on my watchlist for a while. I'm not sure I knew your all-time #1, although you had to have mentioned that before. I feel like '60s horror has a tendency to be overlooked, especially when compared with the '70s and '80s. One question: do short films count? Because there's one I would definitely include on my list.
It has been a toss up between SECONDS and CARNIVAL OF SOULS for my favorite film for a while, but in the last several years, CARNIVAL has pulled ahead for a lot of reasons. 60s horror is quite underrated, but I dare I say a lot of the films, even the ones not on my list are just solid in a way a lot of 70s and 80s films aren't. Typically, I don't do shorts, but I think if you have a compelling reason to include one, then that makes it valid.
@@CinematicVoid Ah, that's right. I remember you talking about "Carnival of Souls" on the podcast now, and how you kept watching it over and over during the pandemic. '60s horror definitely had an elegance, restraint and artistic bent that began to slowly fall by the wayside throughout the '70s and '80s but took a precipitous drop later on, IMHO. I generally say the '70s is my favorite decade for horror (and film), but I can see the argument for the '60s, for sure. Now to finish my list!
Targets is one of the most brilliant horror films ever made, and was, in my opinion, Karloff's greatest role. The little story Orlock tells about Death is priceless. I agree with most of your other choices. I would probably include a couple of the Roger Corman Poe films, and the amazing Japanese sci-fi horror film Goki, Body Snatcher From Hell.
Alright, here's the list I came up with. As per yours, I limited myself to one film per director and no short films. (FWIW, the short I was going to include was Robert Enrico's "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.") [10] The House That Screamed [9] The Innocents [8] Eyes Without a Face [7] Twisted Nerve [6] Blood and Black Lace [5] Witchfinder General [4] The Face of Another [3] Strait-Jacket [2] Night of the Living Dead [1] Psycho
Ben and Barbara in Night of the Living Dead are two of the greatest protagonists in horror or Sci fi film history. Love Hill House too. I haven't seen a few of your choices, I would include others, Psycho, Rosemary's Baby, and a few a bit more obscure. Lots of fun. We each have our favorites.
@@KERSTEN27 love all of those films. Screening KURONEKO on Monday in Los Feliz and I did more than ten, it would be eleven. For the list it just came down to films I personally revisit most often and the ones that had the biggest initial impact.
@@CinematicVoid I suspected you were aware of those four titles since I agree with your tasty choices; especially, when it comes to Carnival of Souls. I can't believe this wonderful picture was made on a shoestring budgtet.
In the movie The Haunting, based on Shirley Jackson’s novel The Haunting of Hill House, the question is not whether the house is truly haunted or if ii is just ‘weird circumstances’ as you put it. The theme that director Robert Wise implanted is whether the house is haunted or if all the happenings are the result of Nell unconsciously using her (possible) psychokinetic ability. In the novel, Hill House is haunted, period. Although not as in your face as what Jack Clayton did in The Innocents (1961), based on The Turn of the Screw by Henry James, this ‘oh so clever’ deviation from the clear intent of the novel was annoying to those who had read the original, as I had. I read Jackson’s novel in 1961 and saw the film in the fall of 1963. (With a delightfully scared young lady BTW).
thanks for the tips. You mention Targets. 1968. 'gun violence' issue. That's the era of murders of Bobby Kennedy. MLK. Malcolm X. And the passage of the Gun Control Act of 1968 which was supposed to end all that. Much like the National Firearms act of 1934, which was a response to the mob violence and was supposed to end violent crime. all we accomplished was diminished personal liberties. The violence didn't stop.
Great list! You talk about films many don"t want to cover. I'm looking forward to more on your channel.
@@TimothyLandre thank you!
Thanks a lot!
This list is really in my taste! Had seen them all except Seconds, which I have to try and get somehow!
Great list. I haven't seen three of them: Targets, Repulsion, and Seconds. I'll move them up on my To Watch List.
Don't watch Repulsion on a Saturday morning. It will ruin your weekend.
1. Rosemary’s Baby 2. Night of the Living Dead. 3. Dracula haS Risen from the Grave 4. The Last Man on Earth. 5. Psycho. 6. The Birds. 7. Devil Rides Out. 8. Brides of Dracula. 9. Horror of Party Beach. 10. Beast of Yucca Flats
Beast of Yucca Flats at # 10?? Ages ago I bought a dollar DVD with multiple old horror movies on it. This one was the worst of the bunch.

‘Homicidal’ by William Castle from 1961…..pure classic 🔪

''Horror of Dracula'', ''The Curse of Frankenstein'' & ''The Mummy'' are 1950s movies
Great list. Maybe a future list can be your favorite one-and-done directors - Herk Harvey, Charles Laughton…
Not a bad idea.

@@subject20productions2 yes, I have. Still prefer the 78 minute cut of Carnival over the director’s cut.
@CinematicVoid guess I'm in the minority. But both cuts are great. It truly is an underaprreciated masterpiece!:)
@@subject20productions2 nothing wrong with that. I'm certainly not turning off the director's cut if it's on.
