Abstract
- The article features several horror films in Great Britain from 1968-1975. One of the films that made a radical transformation of the horror genre is George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead." The victims in the film in several cases became themselves monsters, thereby muddying the distinction between the monstrous and the normal as well as locating terror in the everyday world. Other horror motion pictures featured here include the 1973's "The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires" and 1971's "Psychomania."
