The Devils Rejects.
House of 1000 Corpses and 3 From Hell are alright, but Devils Rejects is my favorite. I can't hear Midnight Rider or Freebird without thinking about this movie.

I actually liked devil's rejects more than House of 1000 corpses. Rob zombie has a tendency to dip his toes into the torture porn type of horror genre from time to time and I think house of 1000 corpses had too much of that going on with it for my own taste.

You like em tongue-in-cheek? You might try Chopping Mall (1986). Shopping mall management invests in a killer robot security system. A group of horny teens decides to spend the night there, but a lightning storm takes out the main killer robot controller! It's funny, a little gory, has topless men and women, and it's hilarious. A spook night favorite of mine.
Let The Right One In
I remember enjoying this. I need to re watch it because I can't remember most of the highlights.
The original Night of the living Dead is way up there for vanilla zombie horror. 28 days later for modern zombies.
Thankskilling and Jack Frost for B movie holiday horror.

Midsommer is my favorite. A slow, realistic slide into horror.
GYO Tokyo Fish Attack. Body horror is a great genre that doesnβt come around very often without looking kind of cheesy so it helps being animation.
The Fly is another great example of the genre. Such an excellent movie with a sad ending to top it off.

day of the dead is fantastic. perfect build up and release. watched it with a lot of friends and damn we went crazy for that ending
"The shutter" the original asian one. I remember watching it when it came out and loved it. ETA and the original Halloween of course but I also liked Rob Zombie's version of it.
Little Shop of Horrors, original and remake. But I always assign social commentary, regardless if the writer meant any or not.
Army of Darkness.
Another horror favorite: Don't Look Now (1973), directed by Nicolas Roeg, starring Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland. Set in Venice, it concerns a couple recovering from the accidental death of their very young daughter. Roeg uses the color red as a signature throughout the film: things are not always what they seem.
One of my favorites, one I feel is hugely underrated, Michael Wadleigh's 1981 Wolfen, which is not about werewolves, but ecological displacement, loss of habitat from urban development (among other issues), and not terrorism
a conclusion initially drawn by the police
but territory. With Albert Finney, Diane Venora, Gregory Hines, Edward James Olmos, and Tom Noonan. Its release in theaters was eclipsed by βThe Howlingβ and βAn American Werewolf in Londonβ, but Wolfen is not merely a horror movie, but an intelligent one, ahead of its time IMHO. The confrontation atop the Manhattan Bridge between Finney and Olmos (see below, not a spoiler), which still makes my knees weak, involves no stunt doubles. The film also has beautiful dog sequences, imaginative cimenatography, and yes, some gore.
