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..............

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!
