Gone were the 1950s and it's sci-fi/monster craze. Here was the dawn of modern horror films, which saw the early stages of slashers, psychological thrillers, and the rise of the modern zombie flick.

Horror developed rapidly in 1960 with the release of key movies like 'Psycho', 'Peeping Tom', 'Black Sunday', Eyes Without a Face' and 'Village of the Damned'.

From Hitchcockian classics like Psycho to forgotten gems like Peeping Tom, the defining horror films of the '60s influenced the genre like few others.
