10 Best Horror Films of 1960
Very possibly the best year in horror history, starting off the 60's with a huge bang. The classics, and there are a number of them, serve to shake the foundations of the past and lead the genre into a new direction throughout the decade. This is essentially the birthing of modern horror, but here it is so fresh and masterfully done. Much like the music giants of the 60's, it seemed like filmmakers were trying to one up each other in innovation. When it comes to horror, I don't think you could find a better top 5, or top 10 for that matter.
