[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 393991, member: 57984"] How weird your bat signal to me didn't appear on my alerts-feed... :confuse: I'm not sure I'd agree that they were, the '70s. But there was, indeed, a lot of it. Mostly, the '70s had a lot of satanic/devil-worship-y stuff, and then the decade finished out with those fetish-shockers (mostly of the serial sex-slayer variety, in keeping with serial-sex-slayer awareness rife in the culture at the time, the late-'70s a weirdly juxtaposed blend of sexy-breezy and dank, lurid underbelly). But, particularly in the first-half of the '70s, the stylized directorial/photographic mood lent itself to some pretty cloistered, atmospheric movies, one where the celluloid look was like a B&W movie[I][B] with color[/B][/I], and that was suitable for the horror genre: melancholy, disillusioned, heart-broken in a way. That said, I was never fond of the excessively violent, super-gory pictures. And, at the time, they sometimes mixed in a gutter sexualized sadism I found a little problematic (this actually started in the late-'60s). Even though the graphic splatter would get more extreme in later decades, it never seemed intended to be as almost carnalized and snuffy as it was from, say, 1967 thru 1981. So. I dunno. The above trailer and period detail look pretty interesting though. [IMG width="496px"]https://lwlies.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/the-texas-chainsaw-massacre-leatherface.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
