Beginning with 1970 and proceeding chronologically by year of its release in the United States, Section Two offers an entry for each film.

Section Three contains a conclusion and these five appendices: horror film cliches of the 1970s, frequently appearing performers, memorable movie ads, recommended films that illustrate how 1970s horror films continue to impact the industry, and the 15 best genre films of the decade as chosen by Muir.
