Best Horror Movies of the 1970s

The Top Ten

1 The Exorcist

I've seen 3 horror movies and the exorcist is the only one that scared the crap out of me and gave me nightmares

The MOST terrifying movie you will ever see.

This will leave you shivering

2 Alien

Awesome horror film and probably the best

3 Halloween

Today’s youth think that Halloween is slow, but compared to Alien it felt like Die Hard.

4 Jaws

5 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

6 Let’s Scare Jessica to Death

7 Dawn of the Dead

The best zombie film of all time deserves to be in the top 3 at least on this list. In my opinion, this and Texas Chainsaw Massacre were the best horror movies of the 1970s.

8 Sisters

9 Carrie

The school caught on fire, best scene I've ever seen in my life.

10 And Soon the Darkness

The Contenders

11 The Omen

12 Hausu

13 The Amityville Horror

14 The Hills Have Eyes

15 I Spit On Your Grave

16 Black Christmas

17 Daughters of Darkness

18 Phantasm

Halloween is my favorite horror movie of any decade. How could Phantasm be way down here, behind a bunch of no named B-movies? Hasn’t anybody heard of or seen the Tall Man and his metal spheres? Should be, at least, top 15.

19 Tourist Trap

20 The Last House on the Left

21 Horror Express

22 Dead of Night (Deathdream)

23 Messiah of Evil

24 The Wicker Man

25 Invasion of the Body Snatchers
