What was the deal with 70s movies dealing with esp, psychic, telekinetic and paranormal phenomena?
e.g. Carrie, The Fury, the Medusa Touch, and the Eyes of Laura Mars? Was it just the fad of the time like New Age religions or the social and cultural revolutions happening in America at the time? Was it just Hollywood trying new things and being experimental or did they get a sense that the public might be interested in them?
