True, The Exorcist did create its own strain(s) of horror film, but Blacula and Frogs represented trends that were just getting started and remained strong for most of the decade.

I was thinking of the wave of revenge of nature films of the ‘70s, Phase IV, Day of the Animals, Squirm, etc.

My favorite early 70’s horror film was Gargoyles. I also remember Willard and its sequel Ben. And then there was Sssssss.

Just outside the 1972 release date but 1973 still a good year.

One of my favorites from that era.

And put me down as a Howard The Duck fan.
