1960s Perhaps no decade had more seminal, acclaimed horror films than the '60s. Reflecting the social revolution of the era, the movies were more edgy, featuring controversial levels of violence ("Blood Feast," "Witchfinder General") and sexuality ("Repulsion"). Films like "Peeping Tom" and "Psycho" were precursors to the slasher movies of the coming decades, while George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" changed the face of zombie movies forever. 1970s Social issues of the day were tackled, from sexism ("The Stepford Wives") to consumerism ( "Dawn of the Dead") to religion ( "The Wicker Man") and war ( "Deathdream"). Exploitation movies hit their stride in the decade, boldly flouting moral conventions with graphic sex ( "I Spit on Your Grave," "Vampyros Lesbos") and violence ( " The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," "The Hills Have Eyes")
