I’m so sorry to hear about your loss, sending my condolences❤️
Thank you Elliot
@@spookyastronauts sorry for your loss lost my grandmother this year 😊
I’m so sorry to hear about Dave, may he rest in peace
Thank you Charlie
So glad to see love for "Picnic at Hanging Rock." When it came out in America, a lot of people assumed it was based on a real incident and when I said I had seen it, they would ask "So who do you think killed the girls?"

I was a teenager in the 70s and you've got most of my favorites from that decade.Cant believe I missed this when you first put it out.Great choices Emma and fantastic list.
I love "lets scare jessica to death" for your list. Definitely a slow burn but the way her psychosis escalates and the whispers in jessica's head is frightning
Good list! Great to see younger generations loving older films. I wish there were more modern anthology films. I thought that after the masterful Trick R Treat (the best of the best when it comes to horror anthology!) that we’d see a new trend. But that failed to happen.
Susperia has become my favorite. Its the atmosphere and the wackiness of it. I love the Sentinel! Walken was in that? Wow
My big three for 70’s horror:
3. Carrie
2. Alien
1. The Shining
Love The Shining, but that came out in 1980
Aaron J. Thanks for the reminder that it’s wide release was over Easter weekend 1980. There were limited showings the last week of December 1979, as referenced by AFI (American Film Institute)
I had The Shining in my 80s video!
spookyastronauts THANKS!!
@@rhythmoriented Like the first few minutes of Carrie ! 😳
I’m so sorry to hear about your friend Dave. May he rest in peace.
Thanks Billy
RIP to your friend
Suspiria is incredible
But great video!!!
Thank you
I gave out a small involuntary cheer when you said Suspiria.
yay!
@@spookyastronauts That was it!
@@spookyastronauts Your 77 picks were right on the mark
@@spookyastronauts love suspiria it's a classic movie 😎
Great list! And major props for having the guts to make a list with so many amazing films to choose from! 1979 alone is a challenge with Alien, The Changeling, When a Stranger Calls, Phantasm. But great call with Alien!
So happy you included Hausu. One of my favorite horror films of all time
so good!
Amazing list. So many I haven‘t seen. Great work!
Black Christmas is such a good movie and way underrated.
Agreed ☻
Agreed
Theater of Blood!!! Price must have had so much fun playing that character and all those alter-egos.
hell yeah! so good
I loved the bit where Vincent Price's character feeds Robert Morley's poodles to him like romulas and remass
This is one of the first lists of listend to about the 70s that have something I haven’t heard of but is worth checking out. Thank uou
So sorry for your loss of your friend 💔. And thanks for this video and for giving the fabulous 70s some well deserved love.
Thank you soooo much! I really enjoyed the hidden gem parts because I feel like I've seen every horror movie but alot of your gems I had no idea of. Hence hidden gem! Keep doing your thing little lady!!!
Great review! I'm always happy to see Vincent Price on a "Best Of" list.
And, wow - I don't envy your task in picking these movies. When looking over the sheer amount of incredible horror movies made over the years, selecting the best ones for each decade would be very difficult.
Killer list Emma. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,Carrie and Halloween are my top favorites of the 70s. thank you for all your videos. During this crazy period we need people like you to keep people entertained.You rock Emma. Love you my horror sister
Insane list Emma, and I actually jotted quite a few of these down that I haven’t seen. Also like that you chose movies from each year. Very unique.
Ive done this for all my lists Lee ;)
Great list! I was happy to see Susperia make the list. I also would have loved to see I Spit on Your Grave and Last House on the Left in your list.
Good list! I love that you picked Suspiria as it’s one of my favorites too!
I’m sorry for your loss. Enjoyed the video and was pleased to see Cronenberg mentioned. I have a lot of love for his earlier films from the 70s “Shivers” and “Rabid”. Oh and subscribed!
I love every single choice you made!!! Some years are just too hard to choose just two or three. Amazing list no matter what some might say!!!
this was one of my favorite lists, there were a ton that i hadn’t heard of! definitely hoping for a 60s video! 🖤
Thanks cermet!
Great list! A few I have not yet seen. Underrated gem that no one ever talks about is 1972's Private Parts.
Awesome list Emma, hopefully you'll do the 60s, my favorite decade for horror!!
Your ‘BEST OF’ is the ABSOLUTE BEST. Thank you and sorry for your loss
Sorry to hear about your friend Dave ❤️
Great list - these are the movies I grew up with!
Thanks!
Thanks Emma! Great list! Great to see Vincent getting some late period love. But really THANK YOU for mentioning PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK. It truly is a subtle horror film. (I always thought it was Greek goddesses returning to earth.) You did the 70's proud. Dare you do the 60's??? And I would love to see your take on the older films from the 50's through the beginning. It's videos like this that keep me coming back for more.
wow the 60s and 50s would be a challenge
@@spookyastronauts Do everything earlier that the Sixties then. All old horror films. You can do it Emma! I know you can.
So sorry for your loss. Secondly great list! Thanks for taking me through my misspent youth. I was mentally writing a comment to you about "Let's Scare Jessica to Death" but you of course, found it on your own. Cheers and stay safe.
You should do the best of the horror films of silent era. It would also be cool if you did video on Australian horror
I have! many years ago!
Great video Ema! I would definitely recommend The Bird with the Crystal Plumage and And Soon the Darkness for 1970, if you haven't already seen them!
Such great picks! And I'm SOOOOO glad my favorite horror movie ( The Exorcist) made it to the list!! Great job, Emma!
yay!
Really good list. I can appreciate how challenging it must have been to make this list . The 70's was a great era for horror. I do think Alice Sweet Alice does get a good bit of recognition on many top movie lists , rightfully so. Great job Emma !
The 70s is the real Golden Age of cinema for me.
🤘
Joe Ertman better than the goddawful 80s.
Loved your list! I love 70s horror! It's my favorite and you chose a lot of my faves. I know you mentioned how you liked Craven's "The Hills Have Eyes", but you decided to go with other choices instead. Although I recommend watching another of Craven's film from 1972 called "The Last House on the Left". Personally I find the original more disturbing and deranged than the remake. Also I'm sorry to hear about your loss. That's so sweet of you to dedicate this video for him. May he rest in peace.
Sorry for your loss, RIP Dave.
The 1970s were probably the most proficient decade in Italian Horror, so there's an embarassment of riches adding to the international classics, and a few are simply amazing.
Two of my favorite are La Casa Dalle Finestre Che Ridono (1976) which follows a young restaurator as he works on a fresco in a church in a small Northern Italian town and finds out that the fresco's author, named 'The Painter Of Agonies', has a dark legacy that haunts the town...
And Il Profumo Della Signora In Nero (1974), a story of a young woman whose dark past and her mother's tragic death suddenly come back to haunt her after a seemingly innocent night out with her boyfriend.
I love the early Cronenberg. The Brood, yes, but also Shivers (1975) and Rabid (1977).
Thanks Gregory, and thank you for sharing these recommendations
So happy to see The Brood get a shout on this list. Great vid. I’ll def have to check out Picnic at Hanging Rock.
So good!
Emma you have great taste! The 70's & 80's were my prime decades for living at the cinema & drive-ins. You are the only person to mention the wonderful From Beyond the Grave! The only Amicus anthology that was genuinely eerie.
Great list! Even if my personal picks weren’t chosen, they were pretty much mentioned every time. Some of my favourites are probably Suspiria, Don’t Look Now, The Omen, The Exorcist and The Wicker Man among others!
Oh god and Halloween!
Omd and Alien jeez this was a great decade!
Fantastic list!! I 🖤 your hidden gems. Love those slashers & many low budget films & also some Hammer Films (and I think Hammer’s House of Horror - several hour long stories, about 12 of them). Halloween is my all time favorite, hands down (but I have about 30 2nd faves). I bet we like a lot of the same stuff. I’m so glad you included some Giallo! Susperia is some creepy eye candy. I haven’t even watched the remake. Have you? Most horror remakes make me nuts (with a few exceptions).
"Oh my god! There's something in the water! Dundun dundun"
You're the best!
:P
You've given me some homework with this one! Awesome vid 👌
Thanks Scott
Sorry to hear about your loss.Love the list;especially having Alien as joint no 1.
as a 67 yr old horror movie van, I agree with your picks and it's so nice to see young peoples finding them. Only one I haven't seen was Patrick. Cheers
I watched Picnic at Hanging Rock last night thanks to this video and it was amazing. I'm still thinking about it. Thanks!
This is such a good list. Not mine exactly, but close, and is what it is for all the right reasons. If that makes sense. Texas Chainsaw, Suspiria, the Brood, Alice, Sweet Alice, and Patrick are all favorites. I actually cheered out loud at many moments as your list unfolded. Thank you.
honestly these are my favorite videos, i always discover new great movies..
hope you'll do one for the 60s too!
Thanks Merjem
I love that you mentioned Don't Look Now! I feel like every time I bring it up in horror circles, no one is ever familiar with it. And it's such a shame, that ending, and that pervasive feeling of impending doom will stick with me forever. There are certain traumas and tragedies that will never let us go, and that grief is it's own form of death even among the living 😬
Glad you’re a fan!
Hi Emma I've only just subscribed so I've got some catching up to do lol you amaze me all the stuff you know about your movies especially when you said you're going through a Ken Russell stage he is amazing by the way have you seen Crimes of passion it's one of his best. In my opinion lol.. from the few videos I have already watched of yours I've got a list of things I've never seen and I will check them out within time.. I'm in my forties and I'm a film fanatic and it took me all these years to get the knowledge I have and you a young girl have already reached that limit and why beyond I Imagine.. my favourite is horror but I love all sorts of movies so I've got some serious watching of your videos to do... anyway I'm glad I found you and your content but for now stay spooky and safe x
A lot of classics in this decade like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween and underrated gems like The Eyes Of Laura Mars and Tourist Trap, I always love these Best of the decade videos
I've been looking of Carpenter's original script of The Eyes Of Laura Mars since forever, because apparently, it was changed so heavily that the final one was completely different. I wonder what's the og story was.
Oh man, Tourist Trap is one of my favorites! Such a creepy flick. Bit unknown for most people, sadly.
Tourist Trap is awesome
Excellent choices! I'm so glad you included Let's Scare Jessica To Death!
Thanks valley
Glad you mentioned Let's Scare Jessica to Death. It just shows that you can create a very creepy tone and atmosphere with a low budget. Same with Shockwaves, which is on my own personal list, along with Dawn of the Dead, Zombi 2, The Other, Whoever Slew Auntie Roo?, Who Can Kill a Child?, Shivers, Bug... (I need to make my own video).
You have a very nice list of films there. I absolutely loved Tales From The Crypt. I remember the skeleton driving the motorcycle in the monkey paw segment scaring me when I was much younger. The Peter Cushing segment was great, and heartbreaking at the same time. Loved Alien. I'm going to check out Girly. Never heard of that one. Thank you for the recommendation. I have a list of 70's favorites. Here they are:
Tourist Trap
Phantasm
A Bay Of Blood
What's The Matter With Helen?
Halloween
Black Christmas
Night Of The Lepus
Play Misty For Me
Dawn Of The Dead
Vault Of Horror (anthology)
Thank you for another awesome video. I appreciate all the hard work that you do for us 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍👍👍
RIP. Dave. As always great recommendations.👍🏾
Thanks Lokesh
Thanks Emma, I'm just now getting around to viewing this.
Great films, and some I've not seen, let alone heard of; always appreciate your lists!
One of my faves from that era is "Black Sabbath". Saw that when I was around 8 or 9 years old, and "The Drop of Water" gave me genuine nightmares into my 40s 😮
Great content! Subbed.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss, RIP David, Also great video.
Thank you David
Great list, have to see a lot of them, i like these movies that have this Hammer horror feel. Thx for these recommondations!
Thanks for watching
The legend of hell house is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. The book is good too. Thank you for his list! I am a child of the 70s, really of the 60s but the 70s is when I got into horror. I haven't seen them all because we didn't have the internet then or even movies for rent and so I didn't know I hadn't seen them. My teacher was reading to us from Jaws when I was in the 7th grade. He used to do the music for us.
I was born in 1974. Growing up I kept having reoccurring nightmares.
I found out last year that the nightmares were of 2 horror movies:
Blue Sunshine (1977) & Asylum (1972).
I must've had a twisted babysitter in the 70s, that showed these movies to me. xD
I have since rewatched these movies and I love them!
I doubt I ever would have heard of Blue Sunshine if it weren't for Elvira. Several years ago I had picked up several Elvira's Movie Macabre double features. One of them had Blue Sunshine. Surprisingly good one from Jeff Lieberman (Squirm, Just Before Dawn).
What an amazing decade for horror movies and your choices for each year are spot on nice to see lots of English horror films in there from Hammer.
So sorry to hear about Dave. I remember the fund raiser from last year and he seemed like a really great guy :(
Great video! Noted down a few. One of my friends recommended Alice Sweet Alice as well so that's first on my list to watch! 😊
I loved Picnic at Hanging Rock! Beautiful movie and definitely creepy. You have similar taste to me in movies, and give great recommendations. Love your channel!
Thank you!
Good list!
I have the book Hell House, I never realized it was also a movie!! Love these lists lol
Picnic at hanging rock is such an underatted movie, doesnt get the recognition it deserves.
Keep on making more awesome horror movie picks
Great review
The 70s were such a great period for horror films. I adore Suspiria and Alien, two of my favorite movies of all time! Great list
Sorry about your lost, but he can forever live in your memories
Im so glad you mentioned The Sentinel! And didn't spoil it. Everyone watch The Sentinel.
haha i try to stay vague
The Brood was a mind trip 😨,and I just wish this video was longer because I could listen to you talk about these movies for an hour😄
Please accept my condolences for your loss. Thank you once again for a thoroughly enjoyable walk through a decade of horror. I'll have to check out the few that I haven't seen. I've had Picnic at Hanging Rock on my list of movies that I have to see for a long time but never got around to it, so that's probably next. By the way, Let's Scare Jessica to Death is on my list of absolutely underrated horror gems. Just saying: There's great stuff in the 60's! Rosemary's Baby. Night of the Living Dead.
Excellent list Emma. The 70's had so many good (great) horror films it is very hard to pick favorites ,much like films from the 60's would be, so good job on a great decade of stuff to choose from, kudos to you. I have the film Deliverance in with my horror film collection because it is so horrifying (along with Straw Dogs 1972), so i would call it a horror movie ( his dream at the ending and the scene of the water alone tells me that ). A few honorable mentions for me would be; Cry Of The Banshee 1970 ( V.Price ), The Vampire Lovers ( Carmilla ) 1970, Brian De Palma's- Sisters 1973, Trilogy Of Terror 1975, Dario Argento's- Deep Red 1975, Twins Of Evil 1971, Satanico Pandemonium 1977, Blood Freak 1972, Duel 1971, Daughters Of Darkness 1971, The Last House On The Left 1972, and of course so many others. I really liked your picks of Alice, Sweet Alice , The Abominable Dr.Phibes, Evening Of E.A.Poe, House, The Omen, and the very creepy The Brood , all of which are fantastic. Can't wait for the 1960's, and please do a video on the great Aussie horror flicks, i love it. Like your smile, and love your style. Thanx. Bob.G
Love your channel!
Thanks!
Great video, Alien is like my fav ever!
wooo!
Great video . Love love 70s horror . Alien and Halloween are on my all time fave list . Love jaws seen it so many times I know the script lol . Would love to watch the abominable dr phibes again but don’t know where to watch it ?
Love Hell House book and the movie. So happy to see this here
I loooove Theatre of Blood. And Vincent Price. Lots of good flicks here. Thank you.
Awesome video horror movie picks...in the 1970s there are so many titles very hard to pick 2 a year.....horror movie lover as far back as 1978
you are a literal queen
you are!
Excellent job on the video, Emma. What an amazing decade for horror and you covered all the essentials. There were a couple of films you listed that I am not a fan of (along with a couple of films I wish weren't missing), but that is the beauty of horror fans. We all have our own individual tastes in what scares us. That being said, here are some of my favorites in 1970s horror:
THE DUNWICH HORROR (1970)
SEE NO EVIL (1971)
FRENZY (1972)
WESTWORLD (1973) - Legend Of Hell House very close second
BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974)
JAWS (1975)
BURNT OFFERINGS (1976)
KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS (1977)
LONG WEEKEND (1978) - Halloween very close second
ALIEN (1979)
niceeee! thanks for the feedback / recommendations!
The Brood, excellent choice. Forgot about that one, screaming for a rewatch.
Sorry For Your Loss,Emma!

Duel (1971)
Deep Red (1975)

Emma, have you ever watched Wake in Fright (1971)? It's an Australian thriller directed by Ted Kotcheff.
Yes I have seen Wake in Fright!
I am very sorry to hear about Dave. May GOD Rest his Soul in Peace.
Thanks for your 70s Selection, Emma!👍 Always look forward for your videos.
I guess this was difficult to make, as you had just lost a dear friend.
Great list.
Wow that was amazing! The 70s were messes up. Heaps of content there for me to go back and watch. Ahhh why haven't I watched the omen for ages?? Vincent price..... The man, I am currently watching "the masque of the red death" and loving it 😆😍
my lucky night. Was actually looking through your channel for 70s horror. And here it is.
yay
Emma, very sorry to here about your mate Dave. That stinks. May Dave be in a better realm . I absolutely adore your Personal Favourites video ! There are so many films I have not heard from this 70's decade . Thank you once again for expanding my mind and horror film repertoire. Emma. You are the best .
Thank you Rob!
I just found your channel, I'm gonna watch so many horror movies cuz of you
Really glad you liked "The Omen." That one always gets slighted, at least in what I've read.
Hi,love your analysis about horror movies and one that that did not made your list and for me was very scary when I was younger was the Steven Spielberg 1971 classic Duel,where the monster in that movie is a truck driver chasing down a man across a road in the mountain of southern California highway,take a peek if you have never seen it,keep it up,ty.
Yey for House! I saw it for the first time on my birthday this year, so much fun. And I've had Theatre of Blood for a few years now, I need to get round to it!
Yay!
From Minnesota in the U.S. Emma...thinking of you and Dave. May peace be upon you and him.
I’m sure your other lists are great too. But a list with TCM, Halloween, Suspiria, Alien, and Hausu. That’s murderer’s row (literally & Figuratively) of horror movies. Definitely going to check out some of these Hidden Gems.
