With an average IMDb score of 6.6 from over 15 horror movies released in 1973 you could say it was actually a pretty good year for horror movies. Sure there were some duds (Computer Killers, Flesh for Frankenstein), but we also got some real gems like The Exorcist (1973) and The Wicker Man (1973) to name just a few. As horror fans we've come to expect a wide ranging degree of quality from our vice but in 1973 we did pretty good.So grab some snacks and a drink (and maybe something to hide behind) and check out reviews, ratings and trailers for the 1973 - Top 15 Horror Movies ranked by Metacritic.
