Those two episodes, covering 1970-1974 and 1975-1979, are the inspiration for what became the Decades of Horror 1970s Podcast, and, with added video flourishes, were reissued as episodes 160 and 161 in April 2022. Santos left us in September 2017, but the 70s Grue-Crew carried on as best they could. They are now at episode 250 of this inspired experiment, and the current Crew decided to mark the milestone with a similar but new list: one "favorite" film from each year of the decade from each host, this time packed into one very long episode. Remember, these are the Crew's "favorites," not what they think are the best, most popular, or biggest box office movies. In fact, a handful of movies were excluded. They also agreed not to duplicate any of their fellow hosts' picks. This episode lists 40 films from the 1970s that the 70s Grue-Crew hold near and dear to their hearts. They hope you have as much fun listening to or watching this episode as they had recording it. Here are their picks: Year Chad Jeff Bill Doc 1970 Equinox The Vampire Doll Horror of the Blood Monsters Beneath the Planet of the Apes 1971 A Bay of Blood Let's Scare Jessica to Death The Abominable Dr. Phibes Godzilla vs. Hedorah 1972 The Night Stalker Night of the Lepus Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things Horror Express 1973 The Crazies Lady Snowblood The Wicker Man The Legend of Hell House 1974 Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter Deranged Lisa and the Devil Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell 1975 Trilogy of Terror Bug Deep Red The Rocky Horror Picture Show 1976 Carrie Who Can Kill a Child?
