Mine is The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. It's like watching a snuff film, it made me feel grimy and dirty. A masterpiece.
Recently I really liked Mandy and Let the Right One In. I like all the other classics like Alien, Exorcist, Halloween, Night of the Living Dead etc. Evil Dead II is favorite.
Salem's Lot When Michael Calls Pumpkinhead Christine the first Creepshow Pet Sematary The Thing (Kurt Russell)
The Bride of Frankenstein (1935). Few movies (if any) from any genre have topped this masterpiece, in my opinion.
Sinister Psycho II The Ninth Gate The Innkeepers Misery Sleepy Hollow The Brides of Dracula The Curse of the Demon Strait-Jacket Dr. Giggles Dark Night of the Scarecrow Scream Christine The Fog
Carnival of Souls 1962 The Birds 1963 Night of the Living Dead 1968 The Exorcist 1973 Alien 1979 Jacob's Ladder 1990 A Cure for Wellness 2016
Quatermass And The Pit John Carpenter's The Thing The Wicker Man (1973) Die Monster Die Blood On Satan's Claw Frankenstein (1931) Alien Dracula (1958) Vampire Circus Tales From The Crypt (1972) Just a smattering. There are many.
A Nightmare on Elm Street Halloween Event Horizon (this one really creeps me out but I watch it anyway, that's the point right?) Alien Dawn of the Dead (remake) It
I'm a Dario Argento fan so Suspiria, Profundo Rosso & Opera loom large. Also: Halloween Damien: Omen II Theatre of Blood The Shining (obviously) Scream series I like the Final Destination and Purge series of movies as well plus some of the Blumhouse movies that are more or less one-offs.
Let me tell about a movie called ' The Magic Sword '.... Saw it when I was young and there's a scene where the gallant knight embraces a damsel in distress he has just rescued but she transforms into a hideous demon. This frightened me at the time. Saw this movie again recently and that scene is laughable and the film itself is not horror. Just horrid.

I love horror films. Some of my favorites: The Exorcist - despite some very dated special effects this still is deeply unsettling. Maybe the best horror film so far. The Shining - tour de force film-making from one of the greatest directors. Over the top Nicholson performance is exactly right in this movie. Dracula (1931) - atmospheric masterpiece. Lugosi's Dracula is iconic for good reason. Hereditary - I was blown away by this. Creepy, disturbing, truly horrific. Wake In Fright - If this doesn't count as a horror movie, well then nothing does. This is an Australian movie from the early 70s that's as terrifying as any 'Hills Have Eyes' type of movie.
