I love the bizarre horror of the 70s - any good recs?


I always used to be able to tell the obscure oddball 70s horror cuz they'd usually be in those oversized VHS boxes (all the b-horror hunters out there know what I'm talking about, we'd always be the first to reach for those big-ass video boxes, heh!) mostly found in the for-sale racks at all the old local video shops... ah, the good old days of video stores. Anyway, heres some I thought of for now that I've seen over the years, feel free to add some recommendations! (if you have some good ones from the 80s, thats ok too! I stuck to the 70s for now, I'd be typing this all night if I included all my 80s favorites too)

The Brood (1979)
Sisters (1973)
Eatan Alive (1977)
Lisa, Lisa (1977)
Burnt Offerings (1976)
Day of the Animals (1977)
Three on a Meathook (1972)
Alice Sweet Alice (1976)
And Soon the Darkness (1970)
All the Kind Strangers (1974)
I Drink Your Blood (1970)
Devil Times Five (1974)
Season of the Witch (1972)
Eyes of Laura Mars (1978)
The Night God Screamed (1971)
Don't Go in the House (1980)
Daddy's Deadly Darling (1972)
Invasion of the Blood Farmers (1972)
Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971)
The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976)
Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things (1972)

I also feel like there's a lot of bizarre Euro horrors (besides the obvious stuff like Bava and Argento) that I'm blanking on. I'll add some more later on when I think of some more.

It's almost a shame to smoke it. It's like killing a unicorn, with, like, a bomb?

Apparently millions of people, as it's carried by several networks in syndication, and makes a ton of money. Look it up in here - duh.

O Gee, i guess you got me there. Enjoy your show you wank.

MAGIC "1978"

reply

Oh hell yeah. The original ad that ran in the newspapers- when I was a toddler my mom tells me I just stared at it for the longest time and then started screaming in horror. To this day I hate those dummies with thier big eyes, and those old school big dolls as well- all because of that movie and its ad.

More of a sci-fi but I love Phase IV

The only girl I've ever loved was born with roses in her eyes...

Who can kill a child? I recently discovered this little gem. So creepy... Another creepy 70's movie would be The Other.

Who can kill a child?


This is an amazing film, but one which needs a viewer of somewhat sensitive reflective attitude to fully appreciate. I saw it the first time about two years ago and those little kids made me want to run and hide-man they were true monsters and freaks. So I recommended it to a bunch of people and most of them hated it. I don't know how you couldn't see that kid fishing at the dock early on, with the way he reacts to the husband and not be creeped out unless you are just too damn jaded for anything but HOSTEL or SAW 32.
