Black Christmas is often considered the first slasher film. I have even read a book which classified all horror before Black Christmas and all horror after, thus stating that this film officially dawned a new era of horror. This fact can not be ignored. Of course, it did not make as much money as other films like Halloween or even The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but it is still a very worthy film to add. What is interesting is that, in addition to this, the film is surprisingly good. The film has an interesting premise and story. Plus, the acting is pretty good for a film like this. Even the killer (whose identity is never revealed) is intriguing. The film even has a little humor, which is interesting. No top 1970s horror list would be complete without this film. To be honest, I am surprised that this film is not already on the list.

I would like to withdraw my backing of "The Satanic Rites of Dracula" and back "Black Christmas" instead, if that is ok.
Metternich's post made me rethink my backings... I prefer the Dracula movie, but from what I remember Christopher Lee's Dracula has already been represented in the list, and my backing for the movie in this case probably won't make any difference any way. So I would rather back Black Christmas... |

Done.
Looks like Black Christmas and Burnt Offerings have the maximum support to be our 2 chosen films. (Villain, is that a negative vote above?) Agreements/objections? http://www.horror.com/forum/showthre...398#post954398 |
I am fine with the choices.

Black Christmas and Burnt Offerings... famous and notable; but in my opinion, not bad, but not particularly good or loved films. More honorable mentions types to me. But they clearly cleaned up on votes. No objections here.

I have no complaints either.
