As a new decade dawns, the horror genre is graced with one of its most monumental years, in terms of both quality and quantity of output. This is a true watershed moment, and in a lot of ways it rather feels like the genre suddenly “grows up” overnight. The schlocky drive-in pictures from the likes of William Castle remain, but even Roger Corman starts taking a page out of Hammer’s playbook here with more lavishly appointed productions.
Indeed, there are almost too many horror films of merit in 1960 to discuss them in detail. Notably, Corman begins his “Poe series” here withstarring Vincent Price, the first in a series of collaborations that will also include more Poe stories likeThe Haunted PalaceThe Brides of Dracula , with Peter Cushing making an appearance as Van Helsing, while France’s Georges Franju produces the influential and visually unnerving. Even Ingmar Bergman produces what could reasonably be referred to as a horror film,, a particularly brutal rape-and-revenge story that would set the stage for American grindhouse imitators like Wes Craven’s.
One of the most important settings where those new horrors were emerging would prove to be Italy, where director Mario Bava released his first internationally famous work,. The story of a wicked witch who is betrayed by her brother and then returns from the grave 200 years later to seek revenge on her own descendents, it combined the neo-gothic stylings of Hammer Horror with the increasingly erotic sexploitation cinema bubbling up from Italy and Spain to set a sumptuous new precedent.
