[@Groovy213]

My favourites from the 60's: 1. Rosemary's Baby (1968) 2. Psycho (1960) 3. Night Of The Living Dead (1968) 4. Kwaidan (1964) 5. Carnival Of Souls (1962) 6. The Innocents (1961) 7. The Masque Of Red Death (1964) 8. Kuroneko (1968) 9. Onibaba (1964) 10. Black Sabbath (1963) 11. This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse (1967) 12. Repulsion (1965) 13. Horror Hotel (1960) 14. Kill, Baby, Kill (1966) 15. The Birds (1963) 16. Blood And Black Lace (1964) 17. Black Sunday (1960) 18. The Girl Who Knew Too Much (1963) 19. The Gorgon (1964) 20. The Haunted Palace (1963) 21.

What Ever Happened To Baby Jane (1962) Would highly recommend checking out some more Mario Bava films if you enjoyed Black Sunday. Black Sabbath and Kill, Baby, Kill are both beautifully shot and dripping with atmosphere

[@kirAthshiAue]

Black Sunday is a masterpiece by the legendary Italian director Mario Bava!

[@excelsiormoviereviews]

Yes, Duane Jones and George Romero were friends and the ending was meant to make a political statement. With that said, the lead role was not meant for an African-American actor and what happens wouldn’t have been so shocking if a white actor had played it. Jones was the best actor Romero had available in his pool of actor friends.

[@quietdemon8138]

Two cool facts I love is that 1. The mask from Eyes Without a Face directly inspired John Carpenter when writing Halloween (1978) and he said that he wrote the detail in the script of ‘a mask with the pale, neutral features of a man’ which of course became the iconic altered Captain Kirk mask directly thanks to the mask from Eyes Without a Face and 2. Night of The Living Dead (1968) is actually a movie that is in the public domain, the original title was Night of The Flesh Eaters but due to a different movie having a similar title (that movie being The Flesh Eaters from 1964) but when the change was made to the title for the opening credits they had completely neglected to put the copyright symbol on the title card meaning that George A Romero (creator of Zombies as we know them today and the director of the movie) didn’t own the idea anymore and never did again

[@jasonvoorhees310]

My favorite film from this year has to be Night of the living Dead from 1968. Alot people will pick Hitchcock though. But without NOTLD we wouldn't have Zombies. I can't live in a world without Zombies. Thank you George A. Romero. Godfather is so overrated. It's good. Not to mention all the social commentary in George's films, especially NOTLD.

[@armando7060]

Night of the Living Dead: I loved Ben, and yes I hated the female lead too. I also hated all the supporting characters. I found them all annoying. I actually prefer the remake from the 90s. Carnival of Souls: I watched this one because someone recommended it on one of your previous videos. And I was not disappointed. The Birds: I too watched this one as a kid. And yea flock of birds, same.

[@viceversar-do1cn]

Oh who are you kidding? . .. you hate ALL white people!

[@UntitledShowwithBobandPat]

It’s interesting that one of your complaints for a lot of these movies is that they are slow, dragged in the middle, or was too long, but your number one pick was The Birds. It’s a great movie, but it is a slow movie that mostly focuses on a “will they, won’t they” romance plot. Which admittedly Hitchcock knew that you had to have the audience care about the characters or else they won’t care about what happens to the characters. But come on halfway through the movie you forget it supposed to be about birds.

[@robk.6591]

The scene in The Birds where they show a guy with his eyes pecked out genuinely scared me. It showed gore where Psycho just insinuated it. Great list, Kylie!

[@HauntedHippie]

Indeed it did!!

[@cierranicole9951]

I re-watched The Night of The Living Dead about a month ago because I didnt get to finish it and I got the VHS for my birthday. So I wanted to give it a watch while I did some painting. And when it ended I just sat there all sad lol. I went to my dad and was like "yo you could have told me how depressing this movie was" lmao. Also the fit is so cute! I think you did really good :)

[@HauntedHippie]

Aw thank you!! Yea dude I had no idea the movie was gonna have me feeling BROKEN 😭

[@zaknolan7562]

Would you consider watching Let's Scare Jessica to Death for your 70s video? It's very nightmare logic, but atmospheric and creepy

[@letstrot96]

oooh yay what a great way to start my friday!! thank you can’t wait for the 70s and 80s

[@matthewganong1730]

One fun connection on your list is that William Castle was a big reason the film adaptation of Rosemary’s Baby got made at all. After reading the novel, he bought the rights himself, hoping to direct. The studio would only green-light the project if he found another director; they didn’t think he was a “serious” enough horror director for the story so they went with Polanski. Castle stayed on behind the scenes as a producer and has a cameo in the film (the creepy guy waiting outside the phone booth while Rosemary calls her own doctor for help).

[@ivabender3564]

"Night of the Living Dead", "Dementia 13" and "Psycho" Was for sure my Top 3 Scariest Movies on that List!

[@kahrahnoel814]

Black Sunday looks AWESOME and I love a good gothic-styled movie. Classic movies such as that will never go to waste.

[@DonLopeDeAguirre]

If you haven't seen these yet I recommend Mario Bava's "Kill Baby...Kill!" and "Black Sabbath" with Boris Karloff and Roger Corman's "The House of Usher" with Vincent Price.

[@TheMeWatch]

Fun fact(maybe)William Castle was the producer of Rosemary's Baby(he had also planned to direct it) and Castle does a cameo in "Rosemary's Baby"(he's the man standing outside the telphone booth).

[@TheMeWatch]

"The Birds" is my personal favorite Hitchcock film.

[@ShyheemOfTheDead]

Loving Your 90s Look. The Whole Red Theme I'm Living For. I Love The Color Of Red♥️

Lately I've Been Binging The Old Classic Horror & Sci Fi Horror Movies From The 30s 50s & 60s For My Newest Letterboxd Playlist. Movies Like Dracula, Frankenstein, Bride Of Frankenstein, Today I'm Watching Invasion Of The Body Snatchers. I've Seen The Original Mummy & Psycho, Though It's More Of A Psychological Thriller... Still It's A Classic. I'm Looking Forward To Watching More Of These Kinds Of Old Movies. Perfect Top 10 List.

[@HauntedHippie]

Oo can’t wait for your thoughts on invasion of the body snatchers!

[@StephonDodd]

I smiled when you mentioned Night Of The Living Dead because it's one of my top 3 favorite Zombie movies of all time right next to Zombi 2 (1979) and Day Of The Dead (1985) and a fun fact is that my mom actually watched Night Of The Living Dead in the theaters when it came out in the late '60s! Btw I highly recommend you do a reaction and review of Zombi 2 because that movie has some iconic scenes that include a zombie fighting a shark underwater, The iconic zombie from the movie poster and the ending scene of the zombies walking across a bridge going into New York City and also the music in this movie is amazing! ❤️🧟‍♂️

[@daniellozano8812]

The Haunting and innocents the best versus of The Turn of the Screw , Great Book ! Are the two best of the bunch . Second would be What ever Happened to Baby Jane , Night of the Living dead , Carnival of souls , since it was filmed in Utah at the old Great Salt where Utah I live !! Psycho is a bit over-rated but still good and the Birds is Meh ! Greet choices for the 60's . Love your Channel !!!

[@daniellozano8812]

Thank you

[@LarryFleetwood8675]

Two of the best ghost movies ever right there at the top.

[@chriscze6153]

I can fully understand you don't love the 60s, but did you see Peeping Tom? That is literally the only movie here I did not see mentioned and would love to have an idea what you think.It has to be the biggest absence from your list

[@taylortimeless]

My favorite 1960s films: The Haunting (1963) Strait-Jacket (1964) I Saw What You Did (1965) 13 Ghosts (1960) Psycho (1960) The House that Screamed (1969) Seance on a Wet Afternoon (1964) The Demon (1963)

[@omen351]

Did anyone else notice that in The Birds, when the birds attack, only red head kids get hurt? 😂 I think some of the Hammer horror Dracula films were pretty hardcore for the 60’s. Another really good Mario Bava film I like from the 60’s is Kill, baby kill! Another important horror film from the 60’s is Blood Feast. Which is not a good film, but important for laying the foundation for gore in films.

[@ACD1994]

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Is an amazing movie. Bette Davis and Joan Crawford at the top of their game. I really like the plot twist too.

[@TributeMack2015MackRoss]

Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? is my favorite horror movie from 1962

[@IanFindly-iv1nl]

MY picks NOT included on this list .. . Peeping Tom The Honeymoon Killers The Fearless Vampire Killers Matango, the Fungus of Terror The Flesh Eaters 2000 Maniacs Little Shop of Horrors Horror of Party Beach Mad Doctor of Blood Island

[@davidranderson1]

I agree about the 60s getting more psychological. After the high-concept sci-fi horror of the 50s, the 1960s definitely seemed to take a step back to say: Actually, you know what's really scary? We are. People are. The decade had a lot of creepy killers in Psycho, Peeping Tom, Repulsion, and other movies. If you haven't seen them, I recommend a couple of Vincent Price movies: Last Man on Earth and Masque of the Red Death. Also, you might want to see two movies that are the great-grandparents of the creepy Japanese horror movies of the 2000s: Onibaba and Kuroneko. Plus, you really should watch Audrey Hepburn in Wait Until Dark.

[@LarryFleetwood8675]

Last Man on Earth is excellent, I think Kylie Roseanne would really like that one. YT has both the b&w and colorized version here.

[@aronpolasek4506]

"Repulsion" would be high on my list. I hear what you're saying and feeling about Polanski, but that movie really gets under my skin. I think it is a better film than "Rosemary's Baby" for sure. Not a movie to watch though if you are feeling even the slightest bit of depression.

[@RPKraul]

Good list. Fun is a good way to describe William Castle’s movies. Although he was known more for his marketing and gamesmanship-he definitely had some P.T. Barnum in him-Castle was a very competent filmmaker.

[@HauntedHippie]

He loved a good show!!

[@RPKraul]

@@HauntedHippie Indeed. I wish they still used Castle-style gimmicks in theaters.

[@jamesmiller7367]

The commentary at the end of Night the living dead was completely intentional. There are a lot of good documentaries and interviews with George Romero about this. Romero has a lot of progressive themes in his movies. Fear of the government police and the establishment are reoccurring themes in his films, as well as the mob mentality.

[@horrorsci-fiandbeyond]

My favorite 60s horror movie is also my favorite horror movie of all time which is “Psycho”

[@WhataGhoulWants]

Thanks for the shout out 🥰 I desperately need to see Straight Jacket and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, they’ve been on my watch list for forever. Also adding Taste of Fear, I’ve never heard of it!

[@HauntedHippie]

I think you’ll enjoy them!! Especially straight jacket it’s just a lot of fun and has great style

[@123rockfan]

Definitely understand and respect why you don’t particularly love Rosemary’s Baby. Its my number one favorite 60’s horror movie though, I think it’s a masterpiece. The gender politics might seem outdated by today’s standards, but at the time it was quite a feminist message. The way the horror is basically coming from the aspect of men controlling women’s bodies. Also I’m able to enjoy the film way more knowing that the film is pretty much scene for scene the same as the book. Roman Polanski barely even had any creative input with the story. The author of Rosemary’s Baby joked that Polanski didn’t realize he could change aspects of the novel through adaptation lol

[@HauntedHippie]

Good stuff to know actually!! Knowing that I might be able to revisit it some day hahah

[@JustinWilliams367]

1960: Psycho 1961: The Innocents 1962: Carnival Of Souls 1963: The Haunting 1964: Blood & Black Lace 1965: Dr. Terror's House Of Horrors 1966: Dracula: Prince Of Darkness 1967: Spider Baby 1968: Night Of The Living Dead 1969: Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed

[@ajbenton2174]

Night of the living dead was great but I think Dawn of the dead was even better

[@DetectiveKemper]

The housekeeper in 13 Ghosts was named Elaine, and you failed to mention that she was played by Margaret Hamilton, The Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz.

[@TTM9691]

Blow Up is a horror movie? I've never ever seen that movie classified as a horror movie. I certainly don't think of it as a horror movie! However, you can thank "Blow Up" for all the nudity that came into movies right after, it basically ended the Hayes Code that had been in place since the early 30s. Where would our 80s slashers movies be without nudity? lol./Shocked "Eyes Without A Face" or "Village Of The Damned" didn't make the list. Shocked "The Alphabet" DID make the list! Again, never thought of it as a horror movie.....although it IS super creepy!

[@phoenixgal2278]

Hi Haunted Hippie, Hitchcock's "The Birds" is one of my favorite 60s movies too (I grew up in the 60s) because it was partly inspired by the true events of a mass bird attack on the seaside town of Capitola in California on August 18, 1961. However, loved all the other movies on your top 10 list especially the Joan Crawford ones and Hitchcock's "Psycho". In addition, I thought the 1964 film, "The Horrors At Party Beach" would at least make number 21 on your list (it had a bad plot point but good horror fun--the critics didn't like it because it was independently made by some background actor named Del Tenney from Connecticut who was dubbed the 2nd Ed Wood). ♥

[@IvorPresents]

Some great movies but a very skewed order. Delighted to meet someone I could so disagree with. yet appreciate. The sixties produced some wonderful movies, Carnival of Souls was a favorite. It played like a Twilight Zone story, The Haunting was remarkable with Julie Harris leading a stellar cast. I saw The Innocents in a theater with my Grandma, She hated it but I was captivated with the eerie mood it set. I loved Rosemary's Baby. it was a New York location that made it beautiful to watch. I had read the book, The movie was faithful to the source., No other movie frightened me more than Living Dead. Everything went wrong. Amazing and horrifying, Disturbing on all levels. Castle was the king of gimmicks. I loved going to his movies as a kid. My favorite was, The Tingler. After Psycho, you would be surprised how many motel showers were passed up. A most shocking unexpected murder.

[@philip2010]

When I was kid Sunday afternoons there was show called horror theater that showed movies from varios decades but they only had so many so they were basicly on a loop where they got reruned alot but there was some good movies tho

[@MikeBD187]

I really like your presentation and thoughtful commentary. I do think, however, that it would make more sense to call the video "Top 10 American Horror... " as you don't include any of the now highly thought of Hammer and Amicus British movies, with lauded actors such as Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Vincent Price actually came to England to make movies.

[@IronSalamander8]

I enjoy the 60s quite a lot, but I think I like the 50s more overall, although the 60s has Vincent Price in House of Usher which I love. I actually enjoyed the Haunting quite a bit when I watched it a couple years ago. I don't think I ever saw it before and while it a few issues, I found it very cool and indeed felt that the one woman was interested in the other. Haven't seen the Brain that Wouldn't Die in years; I should watch it again. My number one from the 60s is House of Usher with Vincent Price from 1960. The main 'hero' character isn't the best acted, but Price as Roderick Usher is brilliant and it's a great watch!

[@BlackRainbowHorror]

- Hitchcock had two: Psycho & The Birds. - Polanski had two: Repulsion & Rosemary’s Baby.

[@LarryFleetwood8675]

And The Fearless Vampire Killers though it's a horror spoof.

[@DesiSJ]

What I have decided based on your horror nights story is that you're probably a Tatum from Scream LOL! Ive seen some of these! Whatever Happened to Baby Jane is one of my FAVORITES! It is completely true about Davis and Crawford. There is a whole series that the guy from AHS made about the two of them and its fantastic. I enjoyed Night of the Living Dead, and I get why its important, but meh. LOL Same with Psycho. I like and respect Psycho, but it isn't my favorite. I agree with you about the middle. So good until the shower scene. Great at the end. The middle is like a big drop. I was so surprised about your number 1. I just watched The Birds and while I did enjoy some of it, its not one I think I will ever rewatch. The main leads were beautiful humans though. Pretty sure Whatever Happened to Baby Jane would be in my top five if not number 1.

I am definitely okay with being a Tatum 😂❤️

Agree with you with Hitchcock's The Birds being number one. Although I am a bit repulsed by how creepy and abusive Hitchcock was to actress Tippi Hedren on set with the attic attack scene being reshot numerous times to 'punish' her for not falling for him, I think it's still a great movie nonetheless. Natural Horror deserves better rigour and quality. We deserve better than weird-ass godawful shark movies. 😅🦈🌪
