Okay, I'll start:

American Werewolf in London
The Thing
Evil Dead II
Dawn of the Dead (original)
Alien

Just missing the cut:
Dead Alive (if you haven't seen Peter Jackson's ultimate zombie movie, you should really check it out)
Tremors
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (original by Don Siegel)
Cat People (original by Jacques Tourneur)
Island of Lost Souls
Re-Animator
Night of the Living Dead
And a couple of slightly more obscure recent ones: the movie that was called The Revenant a couple of years before the DiCaprio one, plus Housebound
 
Don't know if all of these qualify, but I tend to prefer more modern movies:

Get Out
The Conjuring
Scream
It Follows
The Thing

I want to see Get Out. It Follows was good, but there are so many problems with the premise (as Tarantino pointed out) that you have to force yourself not to think about it.

What's flawed about an ST-Demon?

Okay, so get on a plane to Australia, go out to the outback, fuck someone, and come home. Safe for good!

Also: how come sometimes it looks like someone you know, and sometimes it's just some random naked guy on the roof?

Also: who would ever work out how it works? You'd just think you were being followed but you wouldn't know why.

Ok. Let's test this out. I'm willing to fuck someone being followed. Just have them send nudes first.
 
Forgot Dog Soldiers. It fucking rocks - watch the whole thing now. (I've never watched Neil Marshall's The Descent, in part because I'm a claustrophobic wuss, but Dog Soldiers showed that he was a talent to watch.)

Ooh, and everyone's seen [REC], right? Because that's most people's vote for scariest zombie-fest. (They made a crappy Hollywood remake called "Quarantine".)
 
Here are my recent favorites (no particular order):
Bone Tomahawk
Cube
Saw
Jeepers Creepers
The Conjuring

Other horror movies I find myself watching almost every Halloween:
Halloween (Original)
The Thing

The Fly (Jeff Goldblum version)
It (Original)
The Dead Zone
Gremlins
A Nightmare on Elm Street (Original)

Tremors isn't a horror movie

I think the guys eaten by graboids would disagree. What are your criteria? Got to be R-rated at least?

Tremors is a comedy adventure pretending to be a horror movie. Yes, I think a true horror film ought be rated R. If its PG13 there is no way it can be scary.
 
Horror is my favorite genre of film, yet there are few that are actually scary.

I disagree. I think I've never been as scared by any movie as by Jaws.
 
There are horror movies that go for scares (like J-horror or the Paranormal Activity ones) and those that go for splatter. There's also the ones that really try to disturb you (like Audition or Martyrs) that I definitely avoid.

Don't let Herzog hear you call it a remake. Herzogs take is cinenamtically beautifully fucking eerie and I love it. But, the original will always be my favorite.

If Herzog heard me say ANYTHING I'd be delighted. Unless it was me screaming on tape as I'm devoured by grizzlies.

Evil Dead II
Shaun of The Dead

If they make a Shaun of the Dead II, no doubt that'll be your new fave. (Of course there wasn't really a Troll 1, was there?)
 
The problem with most horror movies today is they are all very predictable. ( the reason I enjoyed get out was that it wasn't completely predictable) and follow a similar script....they've become horribly cliched and lack true scares.

Oh there was a Troll.....which was totally different. For example, there were actually trolls in it. :laugh:
