The Town That Dreaded is based on real events. In fact, every year where it happened, they have a outdoor screening of the movie and the whole town shows up.

Any 70s list is incomplete without The Wicker Man.

some titles not mentioned in the video but worth seeing: The Car (1977) Daughters of Darkness (1971) Equinox (1970) The Brood (1979) Day of the Animals (1977) It's Alive (1974) Don't Torture A Duckling (1972) The Wicker Man (1973) Martin (1976) Dawn of the Dead (1978) The Crazies (1973) In an earlier video Kylie ranks the remake high so this may disappoint. It still packs a punch Orca (1977) Alucarda (1977)

70s Horror...every studio..."It made money? Let's copy it!"

The town that dreaded sundown is based on the unsolved Texarkana murders, that's also why it was considered so scary

Zombie from 79 is a great Italian gore feast

Carrie felt so real to me as a teenager i could relate to being bullied in high school

The Exorcist being your top 10 dark comedies of the 70s made me hurt my stomach. Lol. 😂

MY picks (all absent from this video makers list) .. . Horror Express (1972) Phantom of the Paradise (1975) Andy Warhol's Blood for Dracula (1974) Blood On Satan's Claw (1970) The Devils (1971) Bay of Blood (1971) Tower of Evil (1973) The sentinel (1976) Shock Waves (1977) The devil's Rain (1975) The Gore Gore girls (1973) The Incredible Melting Man (1978) Squirm (1976) Toolbox Murders (1978) The Brood (1979) Mark of the Devil (1970) Tombs of the Blind dead (1971) Psychomania (1972) The Twilight People (1972) Children Shouldn't Play With dead things (1972) Dr. Tarrs Torture Dungeon (1972)

The Mephisto Waltz is a underrated 70s psych horror gem!

Awesome video. First of all, I love your straight hairstyle and your outfit. Second of all, you should definitely do a comparison of the 3 different versions of Black Christmas and see which one you think is supreme. Out of all the 1970s horror movies you've mentioned, my favorite horror films are Halloween, Alien, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Exorcist and Carrie. Such classics. By the way, one of the Goosebumps books called "Invasion of the Body Squeezers" is obviously inspired by "Invasion of the Body Snatchers".

I would recommend the original The Wicker Man from 1973, that's definitely one of my favorites from the decade.

I thought this video was interesting and you should do a Top 10 Christmas horror movies video soon! 🎄

I need to check out this Silent Night, Bloody Night. Seems like it's up my alley. Nice to see Stepford Wives so high on your list! No spoilers but that last 10 minutes or so...very effective. Stepford has some really creepy moments. My top five- 1. Black Christmas 2. Halloween 3. Picnic at Hanging Rock (Don't think this is considered horror but the eeriness is great.) 4. The Haunting of Julia (or Full Circle) 5. Alien (masterpiece!)

A few more 70s horror films for your consideration: The Manitou, Demon Seed, The Reincarnation of Peter Proud, Audrey Rose, Dracula (1979) with Frank Langella, House of Dark Shadows, Night of Dark Shadows, and some TV movies: Frankenstein: The True Story, The Night Stalker, The Night Strangler, Trilogy of Terror, Dracula (1974) with Jack Palance, Duel, Salem's Lot, Killdozer!.

Never clicked on a video so quick in my life.

Will you do an Alien franchise review and ranking? Halloween, Alien, Suspiria, Exorcist, The Omen are such obvious choices, but my favorite 70s horror/giallo outside of those in no order: House, Don't Torture a Duckling, The House with Laughing Windows, Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, Messiah of Evil, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Phantasm, The Fifth Cord, Martin, Bay of Blood,Tourist Trap. I like a lot of 70s movies, but I do feel it's a bit of a disconnect, not as easy to enjoy. But when it clicks it CLICKS.

My Top 10 70s Horror movies: 10) - Piranha (1978) (The rare rip-off that's actually as fun as the original) 9) - Dawn of the Dead (1978) (Just a good zombie horror comedy movie by Romero himself) 8) - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) (A movie so effective your surprised it's all that bloody or violent) 7) - The Abominable Dr Phibes (1971) (The one where they started to phase Vincent Price out, except he stole the whole movie with no dialogue) 6) - Carrie (1976) (Sissy Spacek, that is all) 5) - The Incredible Melting Man (1977) (This is why Rick Baker is a practical effects legend) 4) - Blacula (1972) (It is a blaxploitation movie, but a good one. Among my favorite vampire movies) 3) - Salem's Lot (1979) (A slow burn to nightmares man, nightmares. Kurt Barlow is an underrated Stephen King antagonist and vampire.) 2) - Alien (1979) (I agree with Kyle, this movie is perfect. I love a slow burn.) 1) - Halloween (Michael is the scariest of all the slashers. The imperfections only add to the charm. Also Dr. Loomis. The Boogeyman tops them all).

I knew you were going to say Alien was your number one movie from the 70s.

the fit is LOOKING GREAT as ALWAYS!!!

The 1970s was the best decade for horror movies (pity that the Shining was released in 1980 even though filming concluded in 1979): - The Exorcist (1973) - The Wicker Man (1973) - Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) - Jaws (1975) - Carrie (1976) - The Omen (1976) - Suspiria (1977) - Halloween (1978) - Dawn of the Dead (1978) - Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) - Alien (1979) - The Shining (1980)

1971: Duel 1972: Tales From The Crypt 1973: The Exorcist 1974: Black Christmas 1975: Jaws 1976: Carrie 1977: Martin 1978: Halloween 1979: Alien

A Texas Chainsaw Massacre Game was announced!

Omg I'm watching your older videos and I'm obsessed with your hair in this!!

My top 10 70s horror films 1. Halloween 2. The Salem’s Lot 3. The Incredible Melting Man 4. Dawn Of The Dead 5. The Wicker Man 6. The Last house on The left 7. Alien 8. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 9. Piranha 10. Blacula

Favorite horror movie from the 70’s would def be Alien. TCM close second tho Excited to see the Black Christmas comparison vid 😙

My Top 10 70s horror films: 01. Alien 02. Nosferatu - The Vampyre 03. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 04. Hausu 05. Jaws 06. Halloween 07. Suspiria 08. Valerie and her Week of Wonders 09. Eraserhead 10. Lisa and the Devil

These Are Some Of My Favorite 70s Films Here. A Lot Of Bangers I've Either Seen As A Child Or Seen For The 1st Time As An Adult Now. The Original Texas Chainsaw Massacre Will Always Be The Goat Of 70's Horror. So Thrilled To Know There's Another Film Coming Out As Well As A Game To The Film. I Find That Rather Refreshing That Leatherface Is Getting Himself & The TCM Franchise Back Out There. Now I Just Need Another Friday The 13th Movie Back Out There Some Time Soon In The Future. Fingers Crossed 🙏🤍

Love the 70s decade of horror. Here's my top 5 1. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Black Christmas 3. Halloween 4. Jaws 5. Carrie

I suspect you missed the point of The Exorcist, which seems clear and which the author and director have repeatedly stated: what saves Regan is self-sacrificial love. It's her mother's love for her daughter as she goes through one desperate and failed attempt after another until finally calling in priests; it's Father Merrin's love for God that has him wrestle with Pazuzu as far as he can until his body can take no more; and it's Father Carras' love for this girl that he's never even met that causes him to sacrifice his life for her's. In other words, the film and book demonstrate how it's the very central tenet of Christianity--love your neighbor as yourself; treat others as you'd want to be treated--that brings about salvation. We acts as the hands of God on this earth (or as the hands of the Devil).

Hello there! I wanna focus my remark on making reference to " The Texas Chainsaw Massacre " . The reason is simple.... I myself am not a fan ( per sei), gotta name the one starred by Daddario ( Alexandra), though. I applauded the ending to that piece of film; her breaking bad was somewhat unexpected , and oddly great to behold...After all, " it all runs in the family" . What would your idea for a truly eerie film be ? I wanna pick your brains as to this imagination- related question

27:56 the swag on that outro can't go unoticed tho

Nothing will top The Exorcist for me, but a close second in my top 9 is Alien: 1. The Exorcist 2. Alien 3. Jaws 4. Carrie 5. The Omen 6. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 7. The Wicker Man 8. Halloween 9. Martin

4:47 "I don't have a Catholic background" There's literally a Christmas Tree behind you! Oh, the irony. HahaHaha.

A top ten 70s horror list without the George A Romero/Dario Argento seminal zombie masterpiece Dawn of the Dead is shocking to me. It's even more of a horror than some on this list :-)

As you said, _Close Encounters_ is a better fit in the sci-fi genre. Well, unless you have a deep-seated fear of mashed potatoes. I propose as an actual horror replacement, _It's Alive_ (1974). That movie messed me up and had me checking under my bed for weeks. And I was a 20-year old sailor.

Loved this! TCM is my favorite 70s horror movie & just one of my all time favorites in general. I can not wait for the Suspiria comparison. I ABSOLUTELY love both of them... they're both beautiful films, in my opinion. 😬

Wonderful vid you're very well informed

Black Christmas (74) is 💯. But it's ok if you don't like it. 😁 My ranking is OG, 2019, and 2006.

Personally, my top ten 70s horror movies (or at least the one's that stuck with me the most) would be Sugar Hill, Don't Torture a Duckling, The Hills Have Eyes, Faces of Death (If you'd count that), Don't Look Now, Alien, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Zombie (Zombi 2), Halloween, and Dawn of the Dead.

cronenberg has two great ones from the 70s Shivers and Rabid

Trilogy of Terror 1975 - the last act

Predator 1 of my all tim3 Favz must watch 💪🏾

Great List. I love the your definition of horror is so broad. Some of the arguments about “what is horror” drive me nuts.

The Town that dreaded sundown in 2014 isn't a remake. The original movie in 1976 is a film in there too. It is a film of a film, if that make sense. 😅

I would have included The Hills Have Eyes and the Crazies on my list. Also, what are your thoughts on the revenge horror classics, I Spit on Your Grave and Last House on the Left, which was Wes Craven's directorial debut?

If you enjoy haunted house films, I would check out Burnt Offerings staring Betty Davis (it’s a 70’s film)

Glad to see Suspiria and Deep Red mentioned. When it comes to 70's horror I mostly prefer Gialli(gee-ah-lee, plural of giallo). I still love Jaws, Alien, TCM, Madhouse, Black Christmas and enjoy The Omen and Halloween(this one is a bit overrated imo). Please note that not everything from Italy is a Giallo(gee-ah-low).

Howdy Kylie, so I was just watching some back catalog stuff of yours I missed and happened here. First just want to say great video as usual. I’m a huge Predator fan and upon the discussion at #1 ranking started looking to see if you ever did a watch and review but couldn’t find it. So, I thought give Prey is coming out I would like to highly endorses you maybe giving both a watch after Aug 5th for some content ideas I would love to here your opinions and insight on. I’ll cross my fingers🤞hope you are having a great day.

You like Pirahna (1978)? That's where you saw the name Roger Corman, this movie started the mockbuster thing. Again I'll suggest Corman's, "Carnosaur (1993)" it probably won't make your top ten 90s horror list, but you love, "Jurassic Park (1993)" it's almost a must for a comparison.

Frank N. Furter isn't transgender. He's breaking gender roles, and yes, he's every evil stereotype...but he's not a woman, and he's very bisexual. And he represents sexual liberation, and a gay writer's very complicated feelings on the subject. Please give it another chance. And try to see it through the filter of subverting a 50's "beware the sinners" type movie. It really hit hard, growing up in a fundamentalist family where even a kiss before marriage was forbidden. And after some very mixed experiences in the BDSM community. Sometimes, it's not easy to find a happy medium.

I just finished your video and I wanted to clear something up, since there seems to be some confusion. For the record, Dr. Frank-N-Furter in Rocky Horror is a transvestite, not a transgendered person, in fact his opening song literally states “I’m a sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania”. Now, transsexual is the plant in the Transylvania galaxy where Frank comes from. Which leads to my next point, he’s not a human, he’s an alien who is a transvestite. By definition, a transvestite is a man who likes to dress in women’s clothing. A famous real life example of a cis gendered man who was a transvestite would be Ed Wood.

Great list!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🖤

PLEASEEEEE do a Original vs Remake of Piranha after you watch! i’m so excited for you to watch it, it’s so silly and goofy it’s a very fun time and was definitely an experience to have in IMAX it definitely keeps up the silly vibe the 70s one has

I am new to your channel and i would like to see how you rank the following movies: Don't look now, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Wicker man, Last house on the left, I spit on your grave, Dawn of the dead, Zombies flesh eaters, Salem's lot, Shivers, Crazies and Hills have eyes.

Check out Tobe Hoopers' Salem's Lot from 1979.

I love your top 5. I love Jaws, Halloween and Texas Chainsaw, those are all so rewatchable! Alien is crazy because it's so well done and ahead of it's time, to me it doesn't look at all like a 70's movie where the others do

Black Christmas was kinda underwhelming to me too… I was excited to watch it because I thought it was gonna be a fun slasher like Halloween but during Christmas time but it was just meh… I do like the silent, eerie ending though

To each their own, but this ranking is cray cray.

Hands down, The Exorcist is my Number one pick but I really like your list. The Fury (1978) is good also.

Creepy hand puppet alert: 'Magic' with anthony hopkins is one of my favorite movies from that time!

Great fun watching this, good job!😊 I like its your perspective and not just Imdb top ten👍 Cant wait for your 80s horror top list, though its mostly slashers really, cant think of any pure psychological 80s horror?I want to mention two of my favourites The shining and Friday the 13th, both filmed in 1979 but released 1980. I guess movies released at the start of a decade belongs to that. I must say the Omen scares me..

Blatty was most definitely not saying that when he wrote the exorcist

Dude Eraserhead is one of my all time favorite movies! Definitely give it a rewatch no too stoned/sleepy since it moves a little slow- apparently Kubrick was inspired by the vibe for The Shining. It’s a total trip I think you’d really dig if you can get into it!!

Also kinda pedantic and I don’t know if you want to know but giallo is pronounced ‘djiallo’! With a soft g like in Joker not a harsh one like in Ghetto. I don’t like giallos as well and that’s saying a lot since I’m italian hahaha i find them to be like B Movie Italian versions of the American Noir Genre mixed with some horror 🥲

The calculated way of making movies now is maybe the biggest obstacle in making a great horror movie.

What about Legend of Hell House with Roddy McDoeell Clive Reville. A group of psychics,a paranormal investigator and his wife go to a haunted house to investigate,solve the why's of the haunting and to '" cleanse " the house of its demons. Cameo of Michael Gough a Hammer films regular.

I went to see The Omen remake opening day, on 6/6/06 , the film reel had a sound defect and the entire second half of the movie had delayed sound LMFAO. It was a cursed day I tell ya hahaha. Oh yeah they wouldn’t hook up a refund either.

YES YES ! I thought I was the only one not liking Alice sweet Alice AND black Christmas but they are just boring to me My top 5 70’s movies would be 1) Texas chainsaw 2) when a stranger calls 3) Amytiville horror 4) Halloween 5) Piranha I honestly can’t wait to see your OG vs RK with when a stranger calls / black Christmas and piranha since those remakes are hell*a entertaining

Ps the protagonist hunts himself without knowing that he is the culprit.

🔥🔥🔥

Deathline is a pretty disturbing and gruesome 70s horror.

Beautiful hippie good job👍

I think you'll like the remake of When a Stranger Calls better cuz it's from the point of view of the protagonist

Love your rust brown top doll and great topic today awesome show

Does any one remember Grizzly or Deliverance or Zoltan hound of dracula

Mental how the shark at the end of Jaws is obvs mechanical, but you're so invested in the movie you completely block it out. Also found Black Christmas boring, so boring in fact I can't remember anything about it other than it was boring. Still rate The Omen, horror in the 70's rarely had a big budget, and the sound track! Noice. Still not a fan of the Exorcist though, no matter how many Nuns are bareknuckle boxing Satan, Exorcist 3 isn't bad though. And no Dawn of the Dead, everyone loves watching blue zombies doing the weekly shop don't they? Also Return of the Living Dead 1985 is worth a watch if you haven't already.

The exorcist is a metaphor for mental health, when someone you love changes and you have no control over it

black friday should get its own review ..PLEASE

Town That Dreaded Sundown remake/reboot bangs

You should probably take a look at house(1977)

The Exorcist made it into your top 10? My work is done. 🤘 I know that you don’t like zombies, but Dawn Of The Dead is one of my favorites from the’70s.

Your worst films are my favorites

Having this discussion the other day; which decade was better for horror 90s or 70s? I’m 90s leaning but that could just be nostalgia. Still the 70s had the truly BIG film moments like Exorcist or Texas Chainsaw or Halloween. I wonder what film geek census says?

Did you mention Don't Look Now? I might've missed it

The Wicker Man and Dawn Of The Dead should be on anybodies list. Also, please get around to watching Predator.

Great video as always. Now most people will probably pick Halloween, Carrie, TCM, Alien, Exorcist, ect. You know all the big names. But I'm going to shock some people and because Tis the Season Black Christmas 1974 is my pick of the 70's. It paved the way for other slashers like Halloween, Friday, ect. Billy is an excellent antagonist/killer, the cinematography is great, acting is on point, atmosphere is very creepy. I just love everything about this film. It truly is a Christmas horror Gem. But in close second is Halloween. Michael's ambiguous shapeless nature is very interesting to me.✌

she tells u all the things u want to hear

don't watch the remake of TTTDS. the 76 version is loosely based on the true story....which NEVER should have put the comedy in it.

I like those Christopher Lee (1922-2015) Dracula movies between 1970-1973.

🖤🎃

0:08 Lmao the hippie stereotype

There's A lot More Than 10...

Not enough hippie clothes? But you are the haunted hippie🤣Aliens is top tier but my is TCM

I saw deranged 2 years ago

When is the 80s video coming?

It's a really nice list

Whoa! PREDATOR! We need Predator!

Wow, I hated The Exorcist too and brushed it off as Christian propaganda (much like The Conjuring films).. but your point of view makes me hate it less!

I love 70s horror and I love that Alien is on top here. Horror and Sci fi perfection. My favorites in no particular order would be: Alucarda (wonder what you would think of this one) Sisters Texas Chainsaw Massacre Stepford Wives (needs a blu ray release) Dawn of the Dead Suspiria (to me this made the 80s look. Movies never looked the same) Duel (still Spielberg's scariest film) The Wicker Man (me and my best friend love watching this every spring) Rabid Carrie Jaws Phantasm Don't Look Now Black Christmas The Exorcist Burnt Offerings Trilogy of Terror Vampyres The Sentinel Piranha Deliverance When a Stranger Calls Orca Alice Sweet Alice Grizzly Day of the Animals Let's Scare Jessica to Death The Food of the Gods (interesting one) Deep Red The Tenent (creep caution) Zombie A Bay of Blood Torso The Crazies Shock Waves Images... I'm sure there's more. I need to watch more british horror
