With an average IMDb score of 6.4 from over 16 horror movies released in 1974 you could say it was actually a pretty good year for horror movies. Sure there were some duds (Horror of the Zombies, The Mutations), but we also got some real gems like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) and Black Christmas (1974) to name just a few. As horror fans we've come to expect a wide ranging degree of quality from our vice but in 1974 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 1974 - Top 5 Horror Movies ranked by Metacritic.
