Horror films 👻

I seem to watch Horror films every October. I watch a lot of 70’s horror because they’re often good scary stories without being gross. Films from the 60’s and earlier are often too tame to be scary, and 80’s horror is filled with slashing, so the 70’s are a nice sweet spot for horror IMO.

This year I watched:
Invasion of the body snatchers (1978) - snatched my approval (Young Jeff Goldblum and awesome ending)
Wicker Man (1973) - more of a mystery than horror, but still good
Basket Case (1982) - funny and scary B movie, cult classic, awesome
The Haunting of Hill House (Netflix series) - very well written (though a bit heavy handed at times). I like all they threads they wove together. One scene made me jump more than any other scene in any horror movie The car scene from ep. 8

I’m also a huge fan of the old Amicus horror anthology films from the 70’s, and there are many I haven’t seen yet so I’m looking forward to watching one of those this year
