I also forgot to mention "Creature from Black Lake," "Schlock," and (one of my big big favorites) "Horror Express." The last one is one I can't recommend more, I could watch it over and over again.

Granted "Schlock" is a horror comedy but it does have some geniunely weird and disturbing moments.

Horror Express rules! A bit cheesy, but definatly a cool flick. Similar idea to The Thing, and Lee and Cushing are great as always. Plus, you can get it on DVD insanely cheap! Yep, I really agree with you here Filmmaker!

Yeah...yeah! Horror Express has a story that is ridiculous in certain ways, but it sticks to the story it sets up, and you have to pay attention to follow it.

I have a lot of respect for it because it's serious, but it has a strong sense of humor too!

Cushing and Lee are great as the heroes. They're both selfish, snooty jerks! But they save all those people at the end.

That's cool, that schlock movie looks stupid

And I think I forgot to mention another Jack Harris release, "Beware! The Blob," which is (like SCHLOCK) also a horror comedy from 1972. And oh my goodness, oh my goodness, I love that movie.

Here are a some 70s movies from my collection that you want to check out!

1. The Amityville Horror
2. Black Christmas
3. Carrie
4. Dawn of the Dead
5. Deliverance (not horror but got some crazy rednecks in it)
6. The Exorcist (I heard its pretty good. haha)
7. Halloween
8. Invasion of Body Snatchers
9. Last House on the Left (Im not a fan of it but some people love it)
10. Legend of Hell House
11. The Omen
12. Phantasm
13. Salem's Lot
14. Suspiria
15. When a Stranger Calls (I dont mean the remake that is coming out soon).... Watch the original before you see the remake!
16. The Wicker Man
17. Jaws

A slew of good choices...all great films...

And ya know, JAWS is still one scary motherfuckin' movie. Rated PG and just scary as hell. Still bothers me!

I got JAWS 2 a couple of months ago, and it's a standard sequel, inferior to the original, but still, not bad at all! Definitely has its scary qualities. Anything with a monster in the water works for me, though. I'm a sucker for water monster action. One of my favorite favorite parts in the original 1933 KING KONG is the thing in the swamp water that attacks the sailors...oh, God, it's horrible, HORRIBLE!

also.

deranged(74)
squirm(76)
the sentinel(77)
rabid(77)
martin(77)
the fury(78)
the brood(79)

if any of these are repeats..forget 'em.

Ah YES@!

SQUIRM......

Great movie. A real 70's style, weirdo horror movie with bizarre effects, and the famous "egg cream" scene.

we have Mr. Rick Baker to thank for those.:D

I believe he was just about ready to jump onto "KING KONG" when he did it...that shot of the worms slithering up into the guy's face is one of those classic moments...is it morbid and sick and questionable? Well, probably. But no one who saw it ever forgot it...

Did I mention THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN in this thread? If I didn't, I should have...that's another one of my favorites from the 70's. Very incompetent film with great effects that are unfortunately very badly photographed...but, if you like 70's films, this one is great because it is awful to the point of being deranged and funny...

Heck, just about anything Rick Baker worked on in the 70's is worth a look for one reason or another....even (dare I say it?) OCTAMAN..............

JAWS
evil dead
evil dead 2
army of darkness
hills have eyes

Erm...those are 80's/90's

Really this is a great thread. Just reading it I am mind-melding with the other minds here, and reflecting on just HOW MANY cool horror flicks came out of the 70's...truly a wonderful, magical golden age for in-your-face scare shows. Most of 'em weren't very subtle, but subtlety isn't why they're remembered.

Quite possibly the most psycho poster art I've ever seen.

Jeez!
