The seventies were a decade of groundbreaking horror films: The Exorcist; Carrie; and Halloween were three. This detailed filmography covers these and 225 more. Section One provides an introduction and a brief history of the decade. Beginning with 1970 and proceeding chronologically by year of its release in the United States; Section Two offers an entry for each film. Each entry includes several categories of information: Critical Reception (sampling both rsquo;70s and later reviews); Cast and Credits; P.O.V.; (quoting a person pertinent to that filmrsquo;s production); Synopsis (summarizing the filmrsquo;s story); Commentary (analyzing the film from Muirrsquo;s perspective); Legacy (noting the rank of especially worthy rsquo;70s films in the horror pantheon of decades following). Section Three contains a conclusion and these five appendices: horror film clicheacute;s of the 1970s; frequently appearing performers; memorable movie ads; recommended films that illustrate how 1970s horror films continue to impact the industry; and the 15 best genre films of the decade as chosen by Muir.
