Black Christmas (1974) Bob Clark Black Christmas is an expertly crafted chiller that successfully relied more on genuine tension and thrills than over the top gore. Easily one of my favorite holiday slashers, I give Black Christmas a whopping 8 screwing... |

Dawn of the Dead (1978) George A. Romero Personally my favorite of the Romero zombie flicks. With all the zombie entertainment, gore, and goblin music in the background, you can't really go wrong. |

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (1973) John Newland Didn't really live up to the talk of creepiness for me, but I still found the movie to be interesting. This film is rather hard to find, so most likely you wont see it, but try to at least catch the remake. |

Duel (1971) Steven Speilberg A classic to be watched by those who enjoy the killer-vehicle/survival-road flicks. Definitely worth a watch. |
||
|
Halloween (1978) John Carpenter The slasher film that started it all. Inspired by the works of the late-great Alfred Hitchcock, John Carpenter manages to scare the audience without the overuse of gore or pop-up scares. No, he gets the audience by simply... |

Kingdom of the Spiders (1977) John 'Bud' Cardos This is a good and classic deadly-spider film, which in some aspects is better than more recent films with a similar theme. Check this one out. |

|
Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971) John D. Hancock A decent movie with a unique story. It's slow-paced so don't expect a lot. Despite word of it being a vampire flick, don't go in thinking it is one. |
||
|
Race With the Devil (1975) Jack Starrett A solid action-suspense-thriller. This is a film that doesn't fall victim to predictability, especially towards the end; worth a check. |

Run Stranger Run (1973) Darren McGavin "Run Stranger Run" ("Happy Mother's Day, Love George" in some markets) is written by veteran Robert Clouse, who went on to write one of my favorite films "The Pack" four years later (Joe... |

Savage Weekend (1979) David Paulsen One of the crappiest films I've ever seen. A waste of a slasher film, and you don't even realize it's a slasher until 50 minutes into the film. Don't waste your time on this unless you're an aspiring... |
||
|
Shock Waves (1977) Ken Wiederhorn A decent movie that may not appeal to others, but I found myself interested. Not good for zombie fans, since it isn't your traditional zombie movie. Rent at your own risk. |
||
|
The Bloodstained Shadow (1978) Antonio Bido The Bloodstained Shadow is a bit of a lost gem, having everything the genre prescribes. The murders are solid, the tension is thick, atmosphere is at a premium, and the killer is mysterious. The only thing that could have... |
||
|
The Brotherhood of Satan (1971) Bernard McEveety An interesting idea that failed due to horrible directing, slow-pacing, and pointless and confusing sequences. Don't bother. |
||
|
The Child (1977) Robert Voskanian This is a bit of an unknown zombie movie, and with good reason. It has a silly plot, but okay-looking zombies. Not enough zombies though. Don't bother checking this. |
||
|
The Evil (1978) Gus Trikonis An underrated haunted house movie. Interesting story and deaths. Not scary, but worth a rent if you can find it. |
||
|
The Exorcist (1973) William Friedkin A good movie that still manages to scare. With excellent directing and sweet effects, this movie is a MUST for any horror fan. |
||
|
The Hills Have Eyes (1977) Wes Craven One of Wes Craven's better films; predictable, but good story. A good movie, that I felt ended too soon. Rent this if you're a fan of Wes or want to see a good film. |
||
|
The Legend of Hell House (1973) John Hough An underrated haunted house film. Has an interesting premise and some good creepy moments. Worth a check if you're into ghost-flicks. |
||
|
The Sentinel (1977) Michael Winner Not a bad haunted house flick. Not really scary, but had its creepy moments. Good original story. Worth at least one watch. |
||
|
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) Tobe Hooper One of my favorite horror films. This is a violent and edgy cult film that leaves you thinking about it weeks after viewing it. Highly recommended for any horror fan. |
||
|
The Two Faces of Fear (1972) Tulio Demichelli The Two faces of Fear goes unnoticed for a good reason, it's completely forgettable. There is no action and very little of anything else to hold ones interest. While the acting and soundtrack are decent the rest of the... |
||
|
The Wicker Man (1975) Robin Hardy Not a bad direct-to-video. This is a film that you’ll either love or hate. If you like slow-paced thinkers that have singing and dancing, then maybe this is your cup of tea. It wasn't mine. |
||
|
Tourist Trap (1979) David Schmoeller A good original underrated horror film. Check this baby out. |
||
|
When a Stranger Calls (1979) Fred Walton If it weren't for the intro this movie would just be another wasted horror film to come out in the 70s. The film is tense and suspenseful until 20-minutes, which is the point where viewers may be prone to falling asleep... |
||
|
Who Can Kill a Child? (1976) Narciso Ibáñez Serrador A good and underrated killer-kids flick. Slow paced, but interesting and doesn't hold back on the violence towards adults or kids. Worth a check if you're a fan of the sub-genre. |
||
|
Zombie (1979) Lucio Fulci A good film to watch if you're a zombie fan. I recommend it if you haven't seen it yet, or if you're into those gore flicks. |
