What an amazing list. It helped me to see my original mistake. I forgot to add masterpieces like Bay of Blood, Torso and Dawn Of the Dead. Thanks for your reply dear

Thanks.......and you're very welcome.

It was such a good decade that I feel sure we've both still probably forgotten a few more masterpieces. Perhaps the Blind Dead films and other obscure gems.

I am soon to watch Messiah of Evil for the first time after recently tracking it down. As it's on your list I'm now further looking forward to it.

Yes, Irina. The Exorcist is my all-time scariest film ever. I was raised a Catholic, although I don't practice Catholicism anymore. The film has a certain resonance with me. The director went balls to the wall in making the film, scaring people on his set by firing guns nearby them without warning. It is a MASTERPIECE.

You've got flicks on your list I haven't seen... that's good. I'll have to check some of them out!! Welcome to the boards.

1. Alice Sweet Alice
2. Texas Chain Saw Massacre
3. Bob Clark’s movies (Deathdream, Black Christmas, Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things)
4. The Driller Killer
5. The Wicker Man
6. Beauty and the Beast (Panna a netvor)
7. Phantom of the Paradise
8. Martin
9. The Baby
10. House of Mortal Sin

These aren’t really in any set order. I’m always watching new horror flicks and adding new ones to my favorites list.

Hey I loved "The Driller Killer" (1979). If I have no mistake, it was the first movie directed by Abel Ferrara. I love this director

I love so many of these movies listed so far, the 70's was truly a great decade for horror films. I thought of a few not listed yet: I Spit On Your Grave, Race With The Devil, The Legend Of Hell House, The House of Seven Corpses, The Devil's Rain
