The Curse of the Werewolf (1961)
It would be irresponsible to talk about 1960s horror without mentioning Hammer Film Productions. The British studio made instantly iconic works of horror that combined high and low art into an irresistable cocktail. Their most well-known adaptations may be of Dracula and Frankenstein, but we might give the edge to the lesser-known “The Curse of the Werewolf.” The transformation effects are unusually visceral for the studio, and famed British actor Oliver Reed made his screen debut as the title role.
