A Timeline of Horror Movies-- Part 3: Rosemary, Exorcist and Chainsaw

1968--  "ROSEMARY'S BABY"--  Ulterior motives are at work when a husband and group of supposed friends attempt to steal a baby from Rosemary.

She later finds out that her baby is a lot more than just a baby, but chooses to raise him anyway.

Frank would not approve.

1973--  "THE EXORCIST"--  At the center of William Friedkin's film that tests religious faith, young Linda Blair puts on a tour de force of demonic possession as Regan MacNeil, a child possessed.  "The Exorcist" was the first horror film to receive an Academy Award nomination for best picture.

And, then there were those creepy "Tubular Bells."

1974--  "THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE"--  The film may be about a family of cannibals and the poor souls unfortunate enough  to stumble across their rural Texas home, but one family member in particular, Leatherface, who was inspired by real-life murdered Ed Gein, could be considered the first of the slasher genre.  Right Freddie and Michael?

I've never seen it, though.
