Ghosts and monsters

Ghosts and monsters still remained popular, but many films that still relied on supernatural monsters expressed a horror of the demonic.

The Innocents (Jack Clayton, 1961) and The Haunting (Robert Wise, 1963) were two such horror-of-the-demonic films from the early 1960s, with high production values and gothic atmosphere.

Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby

Perhaps the most recognizable milestone of the sub-genre remains Rosemary's Baby (Roman Polanski, 1968), in which the devil is made of flesh.
