Does anyone have recommendations for other atmospheric and creepy 70s films? One of my favorites is Messiah of Evil.
I just came across Vampires Night Orgy on YouTube and really liked it. Would appreciate more recommendations.
Check Mario Bava. Kill Baby Kill is a little jewel (it's a gothic ghost story)

Jean Rollin is another very interesting director. Don't check imdb, since you have there the whole filmography, which includes lot of soft-porn. It's the few horror ones the ones that worth.

If you like Lovecraft, The Dunwich Horror is a nice adaptation from The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. Decent.
Salems Lot, the miniseries, is a very enjoyable one.
Hammer style, Captain Kronos is one of the best ones. Fully recommended.

And not seventies, but it definitely looks seventies, The Lair of the White Worm. Absolutely recommended.

The Wicker Man (the original one) is the most known movie from the "Pagan Horror" genre, which didn't go long. This is the most famous scene:

And, in case you want to go full creepy, check either David Cronenberg (that you likely already know), or, far less known but as creepier as Cronenberg, Andrzej Zulawski (Possession is a relatively known one, and included the best acting Sam Neill had done ever, almost unrecognizable):

"The Vampires Night Orgy" was heavily influenced by "The Devil's Nightmare" from two years prior with a milieu more akin to "Kill, Baby... Kill!" from seven years earlier. "The Devil's Nightmare" is superior IMHO because it's set in a castle and deals with the seven deadly sins. Here's a quality subtitled version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV3Q5FnB9po
