How Well Do You Remember These 1970s Horror Films?
The ’70s were a golden age for horror. Following the success of 1968’s Rosemary’s Baby, horror was unleashed at American movie theaters, with hits as diverse as The Exorcist, Carrie, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, Jaws, and Dawn of the Dead dominating the box office. And these movies weren’t just popular; they changed cinema. The Exorcist was the first horror film ever nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture, while Jaws invented the summer blockbuster and changed the logistics of how movies were released.
