Back in 2013, Doc Rotten and The Black Saint (Santos Ellin Jr) recorded two podcast episodes documenting their favorite 70s horror films, one each for every year of this wondrous, groovy, gory, and influential decade. Those two episodes, covering 1970-1974 and 1975-1979, are the inspiration for what became the Decades of Horror 1970s Podcast, and, with added video flourishes, were reissued as episodes 160 and 161 in April 2022. Santos left us in September 2017, but the 70s Grue-Crew carried on as best they could.
They are now at episode 250 of this inspired experiment, and the current Crew decided to mark the milestone with a similar but new list: one “favorite” film from each year of the decade from each host, this time packed into one very long episode. Remember, these are the Crew’s “favorites,” not what they think are the best, most popular, or biggest box office movies. In fact, a handful of movies were excluded. They also agreed not to duplicate any of their fellow hosts’ picks. This episode lists 40 films from the 1970s that the 70s Grue-Crew hold near and dear to their hearts. They hope you have as much fun listening to or watching this episode as they had recording it. Here are their picks:
Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror two-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s. In two weeks, the next ‘70s episode, chosen by Jeff, will be Someone’s Watching Me! (1978), a TV-movie written and directed by John Carpenter, filmed right before and released right after Halloween (1978). Lauren Hutton, Adrienne Barbeau, David Birney, and Charles Cyphers lead the cast.
