Top 10 Hippie Horror Films

2017 officially marks the fiftieth anniversary of "The Summer of Love", when a hundred thousand young people descended on San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district with the collective dream of reinventing America. Their movement grew exponentially, changing outlooks and raising the nation's consciousness. Today there are cynics who dismiss the hippie movement—pigeonholing it as a bunch of longhaired, drug addled, peace sign flashing vagabonds flaunting their naïve idealism and questionable hygiene. In truth, those young radicals peacefully broke down social barriers, ushering in many of the personal freedoms we take for granted today. Vital issues like women's rights, liberal politics, freedom of expression, environmental awareness, civil and LGBT rights all flowered in that hothouse of social change. We owe them a lot.
