12 Uncensored and Unsettling 70's Forgotten Horror Movie Gems Explored in Detail

- The 1970s remain a ‘Golden Age’ for a lot many reasons. This decade gave us both vinyls and cassettes, disco music, and a plethora of new generation horror films. Marked by memorable events like the break up of The Beatles, the death of Elvis, political scandals, and street protests, novelist Tom Wolfe rightly termed the time as the ‘Me Decade’, given the heavy shift of public ideology from communitarianism to individualism. Although American horror films ruled this decade, movies all around the world introduced a modern-age influence showcasing to the world that horror movies can be artistic. Although it was clear that 60s horror played a significant role in shaping the releases of the 70s, the latter gave us truly iconic films we cannot forget.
At the top of these films stand the likes of Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), The Amityville Horror (1979), Halloween and Friday the 13th franchises and the start of many years that would revere Stephen King as the one true pioneer of horror. Themes of insanity, children possessed or influenced by the Devil, supernatural forces and telepathy became very common and were stimulating for fans who enjoyed a good scare. According to Peter Vronsky, a criminal justice lawyer, most serial killings started in the beginning of the 70s and lasted till about the late 90s. This heavily impacted the films that were released in the time being as slasher horror was a subgenre that gained immense popularity.
Despite people’s peaked interest in the genre during this time, there were some gems that went unnoticed and today we will be recalling some of those forgotten horror films that made the 70s the thrill that they were.

Also, this channel is quickly becoming a favourite of mine. Kudos to you and your staff!
Count Yorga Vampire and the sequel. Blacula and its sequel are both great classics in the style of Hammer but with an American twist.
My only real issue with this channel is they straight up tell you the plot of every movie. To the point that you don't need to watch the movies after watching his videos.
Mate that’s exactly why I stopped watching! I would love to check the films out first but the guy tells you the whole damn synopsis
I believe I’m blessed to live at a time where Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Hammer films…all of these amazing people were at their peak. Incredible.
IDK where you're from, but where I grew up there was a restaurant called Shoney's, known for having decent food. What I mean is, nothing was particularly good, nothing was particularly bad, and it was always predictable. Going there, you knew you'd have a pleasant, satisfying meal, even if it wasn't the greatest, so it became common among my friends to call certain things "the Shoney's of..." and Hammer films is the Shoney's of horror. Nothing very outstanding, but nothing very disappointing. You know when you see Hammer Films in the intro, you will have a good time.
@@epowell4211 Rick Sanchez approves of your comment. ;)
Their main horror work was in the 60’s whilst I enjoy their Hammer Horror films and they’ve aged badly. I mean when an X rated movie in the 60’s is now rated P.G you know tastes have changed. I was a 70’s kid and Lee was my hero and when I saw him in LOTR he was still magnificent in his 90’s.
Fangs for the memories Mr Cushing and Mr Lee but now I’m well over middle aged I see the movies as museum pieces just like myself
@@epowell4211 I’m in Melbourne, in Oz. It sounds fantastic!
@@CashelOConnolly lol, I’m 57! Yeah they’ve aged but they’re still such fun. And the Hammer girls were really stylish. Big breasted but stylish! I still get spooked by some of the films, but I find their underlying themes are the creepiest…real folk horror in much of it :)
I adored Bruce Davison in "Willard." He absolutely nailed that quirky character, whose loneliness and innocence made him so empathetic. Elsa Lanchester perfected the role of a cloying, annoying mother. Thank you for compiling these classic, forgotten 70s horror films!
Elsa lanchester was the Bride of Frankenstein. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Willard is one of my favorites from the early 70s!!! "TEAR HIM UP"!!!!
Forgotten? By whom?
Y'all didn't know that there's a remake on Willard with Crispin Glover?

@@imrytebeehyneu godDAMN! Thanks for the heads up fr! :)
The Manitou is simply one of the most bonkers movie ever! I love that it just tries everything to tell its story. Floating old ladies, seances, grotesque births, earthquakes, frozen hospitals, and a final manitou vs. computer-lasers showdown that is jaw-dropping.
I wonder how it would be done with today's technology :D
To all the folks talking about how House of Wax (2005) is a remake of House of Wax (1953) - the 1953 film is itself a remake of the Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933) with Fay Wray. The original is less horrific, but it's great fun and very 30s in tone. Plus strong female lead!
Adding this one to the list. Thanks!
Lionel Atwill also did Dr. X, another one associated with the Wax Museum in 1933.
@Danny Oz do you think you can guess I have the movies that I am asking about to Marvel's videos above from the 1970s would love to know the title of the one with the ghost cannibalism one.
Do you think you can get some movies that I am trying to find a title for decades would really appreciate 💯
@@ravennevermore641 Dr x Is the ghost cannibal one I believe
The Legend of Hell House is still one of my favorite movies of all time. I sometimes like to make it a pop corn and Pepsi night and double bill this one with 63's The Haunting.
Good choice.... makes for a fun time
Mine too
I'm especially fascinated by the character of Emeric Belasco
He's such an awesome villain
Add Dead of Night to those two .
Add Dead of Night to those two .
If you haven’t already, read the book Hell House by Richard Matheson which the movie was based on.
I grew up in the 70'S. It was totally mental but fun. I wish I could return.
It's funny that Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee not only worked together in many horror-movies ("The Creeping Flesh" and "Horror Express") but also played big roles in the Star Wars-Saga.
Lol those two movie are far from the best ones they were in together though... it’s sad that those are the only two that are on this list
@@pickford3152 they were in a bunch of hammer films if I remember right
@@419buckeye7 yes I know. That’s what I’m saying. There were much better movies of theirs not included.
@@pickford3152 lmp
They were together in a huge number of movies.
Not just horror.
There was never a better movie combo for horror than Cushing and Lee. Genius. Hammer Films (and others) were so lucky to get those fine men and wonderful actors over and over!
I’d add Let’s Scare Jessica to Death, The Legend of Boggy Creek, and The Reincarnation of Peter Proud as other gems.
Those are good too!!!
Yesssss
Don't forget The Other (1972).
Creature From Black Lake.
Magic
Until the last five minutes or so *The Blood on Satan's Claw* (1971) is, perhaps inadvertently, one of the most genuinely unsettling movies I've ever seen. There's a distinct sense that no two people were working from the same draft of the script at any given point and that the result was subsequently cut to near-incoherence either for time or by demand of the censors, and that's exactly what makes it so damn effective: what they ended up with was an array of imagery that gets into your head and sticks there, strung together with sheer off-kilter dream logic. Outside of David Lynch I've rarely seen anything that felt so much like watching one of my own nightmares play out on film. They really, really shouldn't have shown that demon suit at the end, though.
I am also extremely fond of *The Mephisto Waltz* less for any actual scare potential than for sheer off-the-chain Gothic bonkers and some really beautiful camerawork.
Even though the movie contained little to no blood (or gore), "Tourist Trap" scared the crap outta me!!
Me too
Amen, Tourist Trap was utterly terrifying and the lack of blood and gore oddly made it even scarier. The part where the one character is being suffocated to death as they're being turned into a "puppet"... Ugh... And it had that really weird theme music that sounded like some kind of off-kilter circus music. Years after I first saw the movie, we were watching a how-to video in my high school shop class and the video was using the same music from Tourist Trap! That was pretty damn disconcerting!
Tanya Roberts looked amazing in that movie!
Mr. Slaughsen was a beast🤣🤣🤣
“Now your world is dark”!
The Legend of Hell House - based on Richard Matheson's Hell House - is hardly forgotten. It's an absolute classic.
the 70s, when horror films were horror films and blood was orange!
@Hundredshooz Tempest Blad tarantula,
Time for the massive come sing ya,
Blad tarantula,
Don't play with my style I might sting ya,
Blad tarantula,
You want me inject me bacteria,
And if ya body goin' stiff,
And your spine goin' numb,
Now come for get some...
Burnt Offerings should be on here. Amazing cast and the hearse driver scared the living shit out of me as a kid.
I don't know if it was Bette Davis' last movie but she was brilliant in it. Burgess Meredith was creepy as all hell, too. lol Karen Black became another Queen of Scream. Watching the house renew itself was pretty cool special effects. I think the hearse driver was James Woods but don't quote me. It's one of my fave's, too.
The Legend of Hell House favorite Roddy McDowell role.

Thank you, I have been scrolling for a while looking for a list of the films in the video. I stopped the video at 4:30 because it looked like he was just going to go through the whole movie and I don't want to know every twist and turn.
House is totally irrelevant to this list, out of no where a Japanese movie is in this channel. Most of the movies have nothing to censor by the way. Creeping Flesh there's only suspense when the skeleton got in contact with rain water after chariot's accident close to end of the film. Manitou is scary until the red indian wizard combat scene. Willard is most entertaining with Dominic @ Mermaid man great acting but he was killed by rat king Ben. Deranged best part is the mad scientist care of the living severed hand
@@jayjay53313 SHUT UP.
*Bill Riddle*
He's entitled to his opinion.
Why don't _you_ stfu?
The Legend of Hell House and The Changeling have to be at the very front of all haunted house movies. Love them!
Horror Express recently, since good blu ray copies started being available, is finally getting the love it deserves. Creeping Flesh made around the same time with the same dynamic duo of Cushing and Lee deserves just as much love. Thanks for giving it some here.
My list would include Let's Scare Jessica to Death, Messiah of Evil, Symptoms and The Night of the Devils. My favorite decade for horror movies easily.
Some lesser-know 70's horror I loved:
Theatre of Blood (1973) - Brilliant satire starring Vincent Price about a theatre actors who kills off his critics in ways that characters were killed in Shakespeare's plays.
Zombie Flesh Eaters (AKA Zombie, AKA Zombi 2)(1979) - Notorious video nasty and one of the OG hardcore Zombie movies.
Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971)
Don't Look Now (1973) - Mostly a slow-burning drama that leaves you totally unprepared for one of the most chilling endings in cinematic history
Deep Red (AKA Profundo Rosso) (1975) - Perhaps the exact turning point between the Giallo and Slasher genres. Still very much a classic Italian Giallo murder-mystery but with gory/brutal/memorable deaths that would soon become slasher staples.
A Bay of Blood (AKA Twitch of the Death Nerve) (1971) - the very first ever slasher movie. Has a very high body count (13), the first to have violent and gory but unique and creative deaths and the effects are incredibly for 1971. They still stand up today. Many of the kills in this movie were copied (but actually made tamer) in several of the Friday the 13th movies.
The Last House on the Left (1972) - Wes Cravens first movie. One of the first exploitation horror movies and the movie that kicked off the rape-and-revenge sub-genre that gained popularity throughout the 1970's and inspired movies like I Spit on Your Grave (AKA The Day of the Woman)
Phantasm (1979) - great classic horror series that not that many horror fans have heard of
Sacrifice! (AKA Il paese del sesso selvaggio AKA Deep River Savages AKA Man From Deep River) (1972) - The first cannibals-in-the-jungle movie that set off the craze that lasted throughout the 70s and into the 80s and was the starting point that gave us cannibal horror classics such as Cannibal Holocaust and Cannibal Ferox (AKA Make Them Die Slowly).
Great list. Ive seen all but two of these.
Most horror fans have heard of Phantasm, though not many are into the series, which is a shame. Truly unique movie of the 70s, and part 2 is one of the best horror sequels of the 80s.
Some fantastic picks there Mark 👍🏻
thanks for the list!
"Theater Of Blood"--
Vincent Price in his greatest role!!
3 years before "Phantasm",
"Burnt Offerings" was the first film
to use Dunsmuir House & Gardens
(in Oakland, Ca.) as a movie set--
ua-cam.com/video/Oo_6Fb5k2lo/v-deo.html
I've seen Phantasm before. It scared the shit outta me when I was a teenager. I was scared after seeing it to walk home from the theater in the daytime!!
These are incredible selections and most I would have added---namely Tourist Trap and The Shout.
Tourist Trap is surreal, unrelenting and panic attack inducing horror mixed with unnerving tension.
I agree Tourist Trap had its creepy elements....I watched it when I was 15 and had mixed feelings. I watched it again a year ago and didn't care for it. Too many coincidences and unexplained, convenient plot devices.
3 of my favorite people are on this must see film list: Roddy McDowall, Tim Curry and Brian De Palma!!! ❤🍿❤
It's shocking how many movies were inspired by Ed Gein.
Silence of the Lambs
I was a teenager in the 70,s , so I saw many of these great movies . The Manitou was extremely twisted but it's one of favorite 70,s horror movies ..
Don’t forget the town that dreaded sun down that was a classic as well, highly overlooked and underwatched. Deserves more appreciation
That is a great film.
I tried watching that. I wasn’t exactly sure what kind of a movie that was as it felt like a documentary or so,etching. I may try watching it again, but I just remember being bored.
@@frankpetersen6624 it was an interesting one to say the least, next to black Xmas it is considered one of the first modern slashers.. next to psycho of course being the grand daddy of them all. I mention it because it’s one of those obscure films I got it on a blu ray set with another film title that escapes me at the moment and I think I liked that one better actually lol
@@far2d28 yeah I’m going to take another stab at it. I forget what made me grow bored of it, because it wasn’t what I expected but sometimes I need to give these movies a chance
The Town that dreaded sundown was a true story about a serial killer in a small town that was never caught. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
If you liked "Williard", then you should check out its follow-up movie "Ben" (Title song performed by a young Michael Jackson).
Yeah you have to see both of them to get the true rat experience.
The only time a song
from a horror movie sequel
won an Oscar?
Tourist Trap is one of my personal favorites. Such a perfect movie.
Nice to see someone else who remembers The Shout. It's one of my favourite films.
One of the scariest movies I have ever seen from the 70s is a
TV movie called The Spell. It’s about a girl that gets picked on by everyone in some every day kind of surprisingly cruel ways, even her own family, including a very young Helen Hunt. There is one scene that is so terrifying it makes me ill. I do find the twists and turns are extremely interesting. Do not think Carrie, because it goes around in far different ways.
I remember watching that in the 70s.
Love you pun name, though
I'm gonna check out this movie never heard of it prior
I found it on youtube.
Kinda thought that was similar to carrie which was out at that time
I remember seeing it on Comet a few years ago
legend of hell house is an absolute classic
I watch it every time it comes on one of the movie channels on my cable system; it's an excellent horror/psychological thriller film. And I've seen Clive Revill several times in recent years as a guest star in a few of the major television programs from the 70's/80's era that still air in syndication.
Roddy mcdowall was terrific in the movie. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
@@harperstacey9604 he sure was ... always loved Roddy .. taken from us way too soon he was great in planet of the apes too
@@rokker101 roddy mcdowall was also in the movie, cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
@@harperstacey9604 well he was liz Taylor’s best gay mate ❤️🌈
1:41 Ha! Peter Vronsky was my university professor when I attended Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada and he was teaching the History of the Third Reich and working on his PhD in criminal justice at the time. He had also written books about serial killers, unsolved murders, and had provided investigative news stories for CNN, 'The Fifth Estate', CTV, etc.
Along with Street Trash, The Deadly Spawn, and Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Tourist Trap is a movie I saw as a kid that warped my fragile little mind in the '80s. And just like those other three, I still love it.
Jennifer Salt was the face of 70s American horror. I think I might have to watch Gargoyles tonight. Tv horror would start on Friday night run all day Saturday and stop at dawn Sunday.
In the late '70s, she became
one of the faces of TV's "Soap".
Jennifer Salt, from one of my favorite movies, "Gargoyles" ❤️❤️❤️
Ultimately, Salt went on to be
one of the stars of the TV
soap opera spoof, "Soap".
And my favorite sitcom, Soap. She also cowrote Nip/Tuck.
I loved "Creeping Flesh" and thought it was one of Cushing/Lee's better films
Some fun facts about "The Legend of Hellhouse"; the singular evil entity that haunts the mansion was played by Michael Gough best known for his role as Alfred Pennyworth in the Batman movies. Plus the screenplay was written by Richard Matheson based on his novella "Hellhouse".
It was not a novella, it was a full length novel titled Hell House.
Loved the The Manitou, remember watching this as a kid on VHS with my parents and scared the crap out of me. Some great films on this list for sure.
When I was 5 or 6, Elvira showed me a movie about a giant bleeding skull in the rain. It stuck with me for decades, but I had no idea what movie it was. I was elated when I stumbled upon The Creeping Flesh a few months ago.
The Manitou is the most unintentionally funny horror film you'll ever see. When the woman reveals her "bump" on the back of her neck the size of a softball..OMG! ...maybe the funniest scene I've ever seen.
The 70s were a great decade for horror. I turned 13 in 1980 so I was well aware of the movies of the times. American horror of the 70s was good but the Italians were putting out GREAT stuff. Jose Larraz put out a handful of gems in the UK. I'd say horror worldwide was leaking in the 70s.
Cool post. Legend of Hell House is one of my favorite films of all time. Just works so well.
Roddy mcdowall was terrific in the legend of hell house. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Damn look at that relatively young John Hurt and super young Tim Curry in The Shout
The Shout is a true gem. It's phenomenal.
It's definitely not a horror movie (although Richard O'Brien described it as a "comedy-horror-sciencefiction-muscial") but The Rocky Horror Picture Show is EVERYTHING. And watching it as a play live is an unforgettable experience. The level of audience participation is magnificent.
What about JENNIFER, about a girl who could control snakes, BURNT OFFERINGS and THE SENTINEL??
Nice job including THE SHOUT.
The Sentinel is so well known
@@DOI_ARTS I've never heard it spoken about in (retro) horror circles.
@@Sab_MJsMama dude really its okay maybe its not that talk about much but trust its not isolated much
Tourist Trap is HIGHLY underrated. HOUSE is a masterpiece. Great vid guys!
Manitou is a book worth reading, so is the follow-up ' Return/revenge of the Manitou ' and 'Burial' which is the 3rd book.
You may be underselling WILLARD. It is still well regarded (or at least it was in the 90s), and not just by horror fans. It even had a remake, which wasn't great, but at least it kept the story in the public conscious.
I always loved Richard Matheson’s novel The Legend of Hell House which the movie was based on, Probably the only other haunted house horror story with a similar impact was Shirley Jackson’s story The Haunting of Hill House.
Except, in The Haunting they showed nothing and it still worked while in TLoHH they showed too much i.e. quite effect laden.
If Tom Wolfe called the 70’s the ‘Me Decade” what the hell would he call what we have NOW?
The just me decade.
@@senorwhiskers2010 LOL
The selfish decade.
The fake as fuck, inconsiderate, bad mannered, self obsessed through social media decade! That has no ring to it though 🤣
The THEY/THEM decade
Peter Cushing had a running "But I'm British" gag in at least two of his movies. I wonder if there are any others.
The Creeping Flesh also seem reminiscent of Cabinet of dr Caligari, seeing how in that movie, the story is also told by a mental patient and the villain is the hospital doctor. Well, minust the twisted angle and surreal imagery.
I was friends with the nan who owned and trained the rats for willard. The rat al killed is irl named goldie and i used to play with her. Kids would lay on the ground in his living room in palm springs and he would open the cage , blow a whistle and say swarm and they would climb all over you lol.
I know this is kinda cute but I can't help but think ewwwww.
@@walsh9080 domestic rats are typically very clean, and are pretty cute.
@@Parker8752 I know rats have a bunch of virtues, such as empathy, an important role in the ecosystem and the ability to laugh tbh. But anything with human-like problem solving brains and teeth too big by half for their heads isn't cute to me. No judgement towards people who like them, but I'm afraid you'll never be able to convince me they're anything but disease vectoring, foul vermin I don't want around me. You'd have as much chance of convincing me mosquitoes are cute tbh.
No love for Chuck conners in Tourist Trap? TV Western Legend as well as NBA and MLB player that also taught U.S. Army troops how to kill Nazis with tanks? The man was a fuckin beast. Spent the end of his career doing weird shit like Sea wolf, tourist trap and Soylent Green.
Soylent Green was so disturbing. People dying to classical music lol.
Let's Scare Hessica To Death is another underrated 70s horror that has such an eerie dreamlike atmosphere
I also remember a film from the same era about a female serial killer who imagines that she's talking on the phone to her dead father
This list is missing "Theatre of Blood" :)
I remember renting out a VHS tape and one of the trailers scared the crap out of me. It was for Shock Waves. When I finally saw the movie I enjoyed it. Yet decades later when I read the bad reviews I keep thinking that CGI has really spoiled people.
It could also be their opinion on the film
Ed Gein was not a serial killer, the only killed two people. Ed Gein was a ghoul.
Did he wear his dead mom's skin and genitalia and dance under the full Moon?
That's what I've been telling these people
@@disf5178 he did make a women suit out of skin, that is true. you can look up all the things he made on-line. I think some may even be on display somewhere.
Like a beefjerky swimsuit
Love this channel. I watch it every day. Love the content. Keep it up. My kids even watch you guys now.
Great selection, I’ve seen all of these films over the decades. Agreed each is worthwhile, unique & surreal in their own way. Go in open minded when viewing, but recommended for horror fans . Thank you...this is a great channel.
I remember "Stranger in our house" it has always been a favorite of mine. It is hard to find but worth the hunt.
I think it had Linda Blair in it. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Yes, i have not seen it since i was little but i never forgot it.
Deranged is the twin brother of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.. Both on screen in 1974. Both inspired by Ed Gein.
That is a strange phenomenon of the movies. Two very similar films often appear right around the same time.
If you watch both of them they are very diff
@@will1hago66 ooh indeed, but the base idea seems the same
You almost rhymed there with screen and gein.
@@Mr.B.B.Wolfman that was so intentional
I can't thank you enough for recommending The Shout. It immediately became one of my favorite horror films of the 70s (which is really saying something). The original short story by Robert Graves is great too.
I must say, your picks are superb! I have seen most and know of the rest of these movies and I totally agree! Look forward to seeing other choices and opinions of yours! TYVM!
Deranged is "loosely" based on Ed Gein? I would say that pretty much told the story of Ed Gein. The mother/son relationship in Psycho is also based on Ed Gein. And Leatherface wearing human skin as masks, also Ed Gein.
I think the Gein house was also burned to the ground, wasn't it?
@@SweetUniverse I think you're absolutely right! It was definitely after his conviction. Wow, I forgot about that.
@@UpsonPrattJr. It was. Nobody was convicted of the arson, but one suspects the cops didn't try too hard. Nobody in the area wanted it made into some kind of museum or tourist attraction.
Except Ed Gein wasn’t a serial killer. He killed 2 people 1 in 1954 and the other in 1957
I had to get The Manitou as a Spanish version with an English soundtrack on DVD as it was impossible to get in the UK. One of my favourite horror films of all times. Also I've met Felix Silla who played Misquemakus (excuse if I've spelt that wrong 🙂), he's a lovely fella.
You should read the books by Graham Masterton.
@@grahamtaylor8912 I have, I used to have quite a collection of Graham Masterton books
I remember the TV witch movie. I was a little kid and I loved it.
The narrator neglects to mention the significance of the rat named "Ben" in Willard. He pretty much led his fellow rats in turning on their master. He was the rat breaking the fourth wall at the end.
He clearly never saw the actual film.
ON THE CONTRARY: "Tourist Trap" is NOT forgotten! Rifftrax took it on and it is very enjoyable!
It’s stuck with me creepily since I saw it in the early 80s as a child…so it’s most DEF not forgotten by me…one of my favorite…if not my VERY favorite horror films of the 70s. The ending scarred my psyche and has been with me since that Saturday afternoon ever since. Def one of those flicks that’s solidified horror as my favorite movie genre. Cheers, my friend!
You folks always do amazing lists and thank you again for the content. Keep up the amazing work and ty for letting me suggest some videos. I said it before but the Batman Beyond one you did was exceptionally fantastic and if I could, I’d like to suggest top 10 or 20 Kids’ WB! series. There were so many great shows from the network and i think you all would do an incredible job with that. Also, maybe top 10 episodes of Smallville because the 20th anniversary of the series debut is just around the corner and thank you very much once again!
I had no idea that Willard starring Crispin Glover was a remake. Learn something every day lol.
And the original had a sequel, "Ben", which is most notable for the song by the same name, by a young Michael Jackson.
"Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" is a 1973 film that I believe stars Jim Hutton & Kim Darby as a recently married couple who move into her father's creepy old house. From the very first night, she hears whispering that she thinks is coming from the air ducts in the walls. That is all I will say, because I really love this film and I believe it will be an unforgettable experience for you. I think this film was remade with Katie Holmes. You do NOT want that. You want the 1973 version.
“Race with the Devil” was one of the scariest movies I’ve ever seen. Another great 70’s horror film with little gore.
They definitely had trouble matching blood color. Orange paint seemed to be a favorite. I’m not sure if they were just bad at getting blood color to develop right on color film (which was still fairly new and technicolor processing was still early) or if the censors just wouldn’t let them make blood look too realistic?
Yes! I saw that at a drive-in & it scared the H out of me.
That flick had a really scary ending
I quite agree, and it's very, very underrated by critics.
@@SweetUniverse drive-in...me too..i was about eight..
The Legend of Hell House has always been one of my favorite horror flicks from the 70's and I like the idea suggested of a prequel rather than a sequel.
I just seen the poster has timestamped the vid with the film titles.
THANK YOU!
Now I can watch the films in full beforehand- much appreciated! Subscribed!👍
First time viewer & I LOVE your channel! These are the forgotten movies that I grew up with. Good old horror nostalgia!
I am glad you started your list with that good movie with the great Peter Cushing. One of the best horror actors that ever lived. I grew up with many of his horror flicks, namely Hammer productions.
The Creeping Flesh still creeps me out. It remains unsettling.
Also, not horror but even though he was just in one film, he gave us one of the best and unforgettable Star Wars villains.
Last but not least, he's the BEST Van Helsing.
I remember seeing Legend of hell house in a double feature with Race with the devil at the drive in when I was a kid. Also saw Willard , Sisters, Tourist Trap, Summer of Fear, The Manitou when I was a kid.
I think I was at double feature!! I do remember seeing both those - Race with The Devil freaked me out.
All scary
I love old horror films from the past especially from the 70's. 🙂
Keeping with the Native American theme, check out Nightwing(1979) and Prophecy(1979). Otherwise check out Spawn of the Slithis(1978) and the David Cronenberg classic, The Brood(1979)
Some of those female actresses from the 70's were pretty hot!
Graham Masterton has written many great books, sadly the Manitou is the only one ever filmed.
I remember all of these films. Willard was the most under rated. Willard having his Boss killed because of taunts and the death of Socrates telling them to "Tear him Up...!" was great.
I had NO idea that hell house was actually a film. I loved the book so this was a fun discovery!!
Pamela Franklin--
scream queen of all time!!
Check out "Necromancy" (1972)
& "The Innocents" (1961).
This Channel is so much better than Whatculture horror
agreed and indeed whatculture is flat out generic since blampied split the content is painfully pc and predictable its their whole brand be it horror or wrestling ...simon wilborn is a toolbox and borderline smarmy i wish the whole fatu angle was a shoot id have loved to see the tribe take a few trophies off that pack of wastes of testosterone...can ya tell i kinda dont like their tripe...watched enough to have an informed opinion...not just talkin shit im talking informed shit
Historian Phillip Jenkins called the 70’s the Decade of Nightmares.
So glad I found your channel. Keep the great content coming!
Legend of Hell House is one of the best Haunted House movies. Thanks for the list. Oh, and House is also amazing. It's odd but great.
Other haunted house classics:
"The Haunting" (1963)
"Burnt Offerings" (1976)
"The Others" (2001)
I watched “Sisters” recently & it is extremely disturbing. Great early film
Saw "The creeping flesh" in the theatre...i was 13 and loved it...the one scene when Cushing sees the monster standing there in the rain was very intense ! 😮
Deranged is genuinely disturbing because of how grounded in reality is.
House is one of my favorite horror films. We had to watch it in a Japanese horror film class I took and I loved it. The week after we watched X-Cross which is also a gem lol
70s horror has the same feeling no matter what country it is from or how much money they spent and it all feels like something that you found in the back of the closet
Hi Thanks for uploading this video. It's really interesting to be introduced to some horror films that I wasn't aware of. Will be checking some of these out for sure!
So wait a minute. At the beginning you quote a criminalist who stated that most serial killings happened between the 70's to the late 90's. Did serial murder not exist before this time and just magically end when we turned over a new century? That statement is so flawed it's almost comical. Any regardless I still really enjoyed the video.
“Most” does not equal “all” so the answer to your question is no. Serial killers existed both before (Jack the ripper) and after (beltway snipers). But most reported on the news happened between the 70’s and 90’s.
I thought that was kinda jankey too, Carl Panzram, H.H. Holmes, and Albert Fish were all way before that time. Fish was in the 30's Panzram was in the 20's and Holmes was in the 1890's.
I agree that most doesn't mean all, I guess it was the way it was presented (spoken) that it came across as definitive. I agree as well that our understanding/recognition of serial murder didn't really happen until the 70's. I guess to me it came across as such a blanket/definitive statement.
@@brandonlara5375 yes, that most but not all murderers that are understood to be “serial killers” happened during that time frame. At least well known enough to be reported as such. why did you ask “did serial murder not exist before and magically end after” if you know that neither the video or the quoted criminalist say neither that serial murders never happen before or after the stated time?
Legend of Hell House was a great drive-in movie, as was The Manitou
I saw The Texas Chainsaw Massacre at a drive-in theater at night, during the summer when it was first shown. The drive-in had a huge screen, that was ninety feet high and at least that wide. The film at times generated real fear in me, and made me twist in my car seat.
@@kenw9681 Yup. I saw Texas Chainsaw at a drive-in, too.
Thank you for this great review!
Finally some good recommendations with films I haven't seen that look good for once ..Thank you
6:06 Love Roberts Blossom in Home Alone and Escape from Alcatraz!
