Many key horror movie tropes were established in the 1970s, thanks to classic genre films like Black Christmas, The Exorcist, Alien, and Jaws.
When it comes to categorizing classic films, determining the best 1970s horror movies is a touchy topic. As the decade was such a pivotal and formative era in horror cinema, there are dozens of movies that deserve to be highlighted. However, relative to their place in and contribution to horror history, some 1970s films stand out more than others.
9 The Exorcist Directed by William Friedkin, The Exorcist is remembered for its frightening special effects and the iconic story and performance of Linda Blair's Regan MacNeil. Based on William Peter Blatty's novel of the same name, the film explores the demonic possession of a young girl. Its chilling atmosphere, powerful performances, and innovative use of practical effects set a new standard for horror.
6 The Texas Chain Saw Massacre The film that birthed the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is one of the most successful formative low-budget horror movies ever. This is primarily due to the film's introduction of Leatherface, who is based on the notorious serial killers Ed Gein and Elmer Wayne Henley. Set in the desolate Texas landscape, the film's gritty atmosphere and brutal realism left an indelible mark on horror cinema.
