Perhaps no decade had more seminal, acclaimed horror films than the '60s. Reflecting the social revolution of the era, the movies were more edgy, featuring controversial levels of violence (
Blood Feast,
Witchfinder General) and sexuality (
Repulsion). Films like
Peeping Tom and
Psycho were precursors to the slasher movies of the coming decades, while
George Romero's
Night of the Living Dead changed the face of zombie movies forever. Horror luminaries of the time included Alfred Hitchcock (
Psycho,
The Birds), Vincent Price (
13 Ghosts,
The Fall of the House of Usher,
Witchfinder General), Herschell Gordon Lewis (
Blood Feast,
Two Thousand Maniacs), Roman Polanski (
Repulsion,
Rosemary's Baby) and Mario Bava (
Black Sunday,
Black Sabbath).
