Your Favourite Horror Film from 1960
 

1960 was a year for some brilliant horror films, but which one is your favourite? What makes it special to you? When did you first see it? Would you recommend it to the uninitiated?

Sometimes it's a hard decision to just pick one film (even when you're limiting it to a single year!), but my favourite film of 1960 is...


Runners Up:
Brides of Dracula
Circus of Horrors
City of the Dead
Eyes Without a Face
The Fall of the House of Usher
The Flesh and the Fiends
The Last Woman on Earth
The Little Shop of Horrors
The Mask of Satan
Mill of the Stone Women
Peeping Tom
The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll
Village of the Damned

Now this is where it gets REALLY TOUGH.

Psycho has no faults at all, we may agree on this one Bizarre eye.

When looking at horror in the 1960s, I think you may be right on some of these years being the toughest yet.

I'm fairly prepared in what I'm going to post, but even then it's going to be tough making that final decision...

argh!! cant i pick all of them? no? sod it then Black Sunday (well thats the title i have it under, harumph)

One or two not previously mentioned.

Terror of the Tongs
The Tell Tale Heart
Taste of Fear
Peeping Tom


It has to be Psycho all the way.

Good choice. ;)

I have two copies of this - one as Black Sunday (The ABUS DVD) and the RHV 2 disc Italian DVD under it's original title: La Maschera del Demonio

Great film though, whatever you choose to call it; plus, Steele looks fantastic (even as a corpse! :tongue1:)

Peeping Tom was certainly released in 1960, even IMDB thinks so, Wiki as well.

You're right, there. :)

I've amended my original post to include it - I purposefully left it off because I thought it was made in 1959 for some reason.

A fantastic film in any respect, and a direct runner-up to Psycho.

I know i listed it, HOWEVER, i've only seen it once, on vhs, and wasn't really struck on it.

Keep meaning to buy a copy but never get on with it.
