r/horror – Is it just me or is pre-70’s horror creepy and atmospheric in a way more modern horror since then isn’t?

There is something you more often see back then especially in Hammer Horror and classic Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Christopher Lee, Barbara Steel, etc projects that just has never been replicated since then really. I don't think it's necessarily think it's about black and white either but more tone, setting, just general eeriness.

Back then, there was a use of castles, dungeons, foggy and abandoned haunted towns you just don't see anymore.

Kill Baby Kill (1966) is where it first really hit me where you have settings like this , in Horror Hotel (1962) something like this
