Why did horror peak in the 70s?
>>223570458It was a spooky time, i did trick or treat in the 70s near Voorhees. Bone chilling man. Plus Camden nigs.
because shitty film/projectors hid shitty effects
>>223570458It didn't, at least not in terms of highest quality individual movie.
>>223570458because pre 80s was genuinely a horrible time and odd time
>>223570458lead poisoning
Texas Chain Saw Massacre isn't even that good.
>>223570458Because of Italian horror/giallo
The best horror movies I've seen have to be The Midnight Meat Train and The Wailing.
>>223570689i think in the context of it being made in 1974 makes it good, particularly with how the killer (and his family) are just complete batshit redneck cannibals, rather than some troubled youth whose suppressed sexuality or whatever turned him into a serial killeri also started rewatching it an hour ago and i dont understand how not a single cunt in the world managed to make another TCM that isnt putrid dogshit. maybe because cannibal rednecks has been done to death and theres fuckall novel concept slashers could dig into
>>223570689It doesn't hold up now, but it basically invented the slasher genre and has been ripped off for decades.
I really dug this one
>>223570689Part 2 is way better. The original is just boring
The whole premise of your question is wrong.
>>223570458All those Phoenix Program psychos fresh out of Vietnam were getting their kicks strangling hookers and skinning people alive since they couldn't do it to Charlie anymore.
>>223570458Because before 70s slasher films, the horror genre consisted of well spoken English gentlemen reading poetry. Often overusing the world Ghoul in place of other words.
>>223570689Terrible. 90 minutes of that blonde bitch constantly screaming.
I have no interest in "horror" or paying time & money to be made uncomfortable.
>>223570639Which is?
