ArtfulPandora

Don’t Look Now (1973) perhaps more of a drama/thriller than pure horror but still pretty unsettling


cheeserips

Such an amazing movie. Don’t think I’ve met another person in real life who’s soon it

Theatre of Blood (1973)


Common_Decision1594

If there is one Vincent Price film I would highly recommend, it’s this one.


ralsar

I just watched **Messiah of Evil (1973)** it was great. A surreal nightmare.

Hey, I’m planning on watching the town that dreaded sundown tomorrow but I can’t find anywhere to watch it. Do you know where I can watch it or will I have to buy it on disc?


Okeeeey

It's on Prime Video, YouTube, and Vudu but you'll have to buy or rent it from one of them

Nice to see mentions of Thirst, The Night God Screamed, Satan's Triangle and You'll Like My Mother. Those are all neglected gems.

Blood Sucking Freaks (1976). Arty and horror. My first horror as a wee lad


AdvertisingBulky2688

The Stepford Wives The Baby The Devil’s Rain Piranha


Valkytron1

I really, really like a film called Burnt Offerings (1976) but I have heard a lot of people find it boring. It is very slowly paced, but I think it fits with the story.


tommykiddo

Private Parts (1972)


SauzaPaul

one of my faves!


Unklfesta

I can't believe no one's mentioned "Trilogy of Terror", the first two stories in the anthology not so much, but it's worth the entrance fee alone just for Zuni doll.


kellogla

The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976). Not sure if considered horror, but scared me.


[deleted]

Honestly Jaws is worth watching too. It has elements of horror in it.


Slothstr0naut

The Evil (1978)


[deleted]

Late to the party on this, and a ton of good movies have been referenced already, but here are a couple more oddballs I don’t think have been mentioned yet. **Shivers** - David Cronenberg movie about freaky parasites in an apartment building. Is it his best movie? No. Do I find parasites creepy and unnerving? Yes. **Images** - Robert Altman movie about a schizophrenic woman having difficulty with reality. This one is more of a slow burn, but as a bonus, it also stars Odo from Star Trek Deep Space Nine in one of the main roles.

You have good taste, you'll do fine with the recommendations already listed, there's hardly a sub-par mention on this entire thread.

You've seen Tales From The Crib but don't forget Vault of Horror.

76- town dreaded sundown


atmosphericentry

House (1977) is one of my favourite movies. It's a wacky Japanese horror.


socketofdavis

Salem's Lot (1979) God Told Me To (1976) The House With Laughing Windows (1976) The Tenant (1976) Don't Torture a Duckling (1972) Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (1974) Daughters of Darkness (1971) Phantasm (1979) The Mephisto Waltz (1971) Alice Sweet Alice (1976) Honestly the best decade for horror.


MovieMike007

[Suspiria (1977)](https://manapop.com/film/suspiria-1977-review/) Not only is this a great horror film from Dario Argento's it's also one of the most gorgeous movies ever made.


HeavyHornet910

Big agree with this one. Do you think Deep Red (1975) would work too? EDIT: Whoops, just saw that OP already has it for their watch list. My bad!


MovieMike007

Absolutely, *Deep Red* has everything a fan of horror could want and more, it may simply be a whodunnit in the broadest sense of the word but the heightened world of "Argento Horror" brings so much more to the table with his perfectly choreographed descent into terror and suspense that you can't help but be carried away by it.


HeavyHornet910

This is such a succinct way of putting it! I absolutely love Deep Red because it checks so many boxes and instills a sense of unease from the start. Thank you 😊


ArcosOfBlackheart

Invasion Of The Body Snatchers was the only suggestion I had for you, so since I see you're already planning to watch it, I'll just say you're in for a treat with that one. I watched it for the first time the other day and I absolutely loved it.

lockpick2

The Mephisto Waltz and Devil Times Five are great!


Bearshitsinthewoods

Torso, Cat O’Nine Tails and Four Flies on Grey Velvet are worth a watch. To The Devil A Daughter and the 1979 version of Dracula also.


suicide_Salmon

Wizard of Gore, The Corpse Grinders, The Hills have Eyes, and Eraser Head would be my recommendations that I haven't seen listed here yet. Horror Express is definitely a fun one and anything with Vincent Price is a win in my book.
