The 1970's Slasher/Proto-Slasher Thread

[Val Lewton]

The 1980's was unquestionably the decade that saw the slasher film proliferate. We have a thread for that here, but what about the 1970's? The 1970's laid the foundation and gave birth to what we now call slasher films.

This thread will be for keeping track of 1970's slashers and proto-slashers. Since this is the North American section section of the forum, the titles listed will be Region A or Region Free, at least for the time being.

There is also enormous crossover potential with the Giallo thread located here, I've made the choice to leave as many off the list as possible.

Please let me know what's missing and give me your feedback. These are in no particular order:
