How about another "list" thread. This go 'round lets look at the groovy '60s. Hammer studios are in their prime. Corman is producing a stream of Poe interpretations. Modern horror begins to emerge at the end of the decade as producers aim for a more "adult" market. My favorites (tonight anyway)
1) Psycho- Hitchcock kicks off the decade in style with an alltime classic.
2) Night of the Living Dead- another classic for the ages.
3) Black Sunday- my first horror movie....Barbara Steele's resurrection gave me nightmares for days.
4) Dracula, Prince of Darkness- again, Dracula's bloody resurrection at the beginning of the film made me a "Monster Kid" for life.
5) The Evil of Frankenstein- don't care what anyone says...this was always my favorite Hammer Frankenstein (loved, loved, loved this movie as a kid)
6) The Haunting- best haunted house movie ever....by a long shot.
7) Planet of the Apes- best of the series..
8) Dracula Has Risen from the Grave- not a great a movie, but I've got very fond memories of this one.
9) Black Sabbath- the "A Drop of Water" segment alone qualifies this movie.
10) Plague of the Zombies- this could be tied with The Devil Rides Out and The Reptile, but I guess I like this one a little more.
also loved: Vampire Planet, Carnival of Souls, Monster Zero,
The Innocents, Rosemary's Baby, Mr. Sardonicus, The Lost Continent, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane and The Pit and the Pendulum.
