1965-1975 Best Horror Novels

Hi all, hoping to hear your best recs for horror from the mid-sixies to mid-seventies, give or take a year. I'm a little burnt out on very modern horror (last twenty years or so) and I already own a significant number of those gory sexy pulp horror novels from the eighties and nineties (think Piers Anthony's "Firefly") so I thought I'd try books from an earlier time.

I've read some of the big authors and books from around then (Ira Levin, Blatty, Shirley Jackson) but I think 65ish to 75ish is the least plumbed decade wrt my personal reading history. I'm particularly craving creature features--I'd love some slightly goofy "wolf man" or Hammer Horror style yarns, but in book form--but I'm not picky.

Any suggestions welcome and ta in advance!
