Horror Research: The 60's

The 'swingin Sixties' brought about yet another new era of horror. The fear of nuclear attacks from the 50's had passed so the horror genre needed something new to do. One of the most iconic horror directors of the 60's was Mr Alfred Hitchcock, who directed some of the most well known horror films in history such as 'The Birds' and 'Psycho'.


This scene from 'Psycho' is arguably the most famous scene in horror history!

The 60's also brought the start of the 'Undead' craze. In 1968 the horror film 'Night of the Living Dead' was realised. This film is about a group of people running from hoards of undead Zombies trying to feed on living flesh. Below is the trailer for Night of the Living Dead.
