its funny but i dont even think of halloween as a 70's movie ..
i think its a good movie but i think it's success opened the floodgates for the cheap ass 80s slasher flicks that soon followed.
Black Christmas was a 70's slasher ..
that still feels like a 70's film
when i think of 70's i think of the possession films
Rosemary's Baby (i know it's '68)
The Mephisto Waltz
The Exorcist
Reincarnation of Peter Proud
The Possession of Joel Delaney
etc, etc...
there was a certain grainy, gritty feel to those films .. they had a sort of 'weight' to them...
in my thinking i dont date movies by the exact time of release - more the feel and atmosphere of the film ..
a couple of years on either end dont matter.
(eg. hippies carried over beyond the 60's .. they didnt cease to exist January 1 1970)
