Hellraiser
Event Horizon
Nightmare on Elm Street 3
Nitpicking here, but I wouldn't consider Silence of the Lambs or Se7en, "Horror" movies necessarily. They're "thrillers" for whatever that's worth. The Mist works though. All are good either way.

Jason X had some of my most favourite deaths. Like the sink full of liquid nitrogen face smash. Originally Posted by Taftvalue

I don't really much like horror, so the closest I come to the genre are those films that incorporate enough elements to sit on the border of horror and other genres, or are silly enough that they're not really horror despite being considered in the genre.
The Evil Dead franchise (Minus the remake. No Ash=No want!) stand head and shoulders above all for me, simply because it's the only horror franchise (that I'm aware of) where the protagonist not only survives (Through the sequels!), but fights back and wins!
I also quite like Jason X and Freddy vs Jason (I don't mind Slasher movies where you can be a little sympathic towards the villain and his victims are usually complete a-holes, it's part of why I kinda like Jason. And Freddy...he's scum, but he's funny scum (When he's not winning, I still prefer him to lose)).
I can't really think of any other films I like, because most other films I like that could be horror, I consider to b action movies (albeit with some scary moments). Aliens for example. it plays kind of like a horror movie, but i'd class it more of a sci-fi/action film (Michael Biehn kicking ass, yeah!...which reminds me his character was killed off screen
What a stupid...but I disgress)

not nitpicking at all here. those are not at all 'horror' movies. Originally Posted by Tradewind

"Cabin" is a great movie honestly. The spin on the usual "gang of stupid teens in a forest" was brilliant. Originally Posted by Magister

The Shining
Night of the Living Dead
Alien
The only thing I liked about The Mist was the ending. I think its amazing that Stephen King has supposedly never watched The Shining.Most people would rather die than think, and most people do. -Bertrand Russell
Before the camps, I regarded the existence of nationality as something that shouldn’t be noticed - nationality did not really exist, only humanity. But in the camps one learns: if you belong to a successful nation you are protected and you survive. If you are part of universal humanity - too bad for you -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

"Halloween" is my favorite horror movie, because it preys on our instinctual fear of being alone at night: what was that noise upstairs? Did that curtain just move? Look at that shadow!
It's also effective with it's "chases". Watch this scene and see Laurie desperately trying to get into the houses as Michael slowly closes in on her. It's a nightmare we've all had at some point, the fear that something is catching up and will get us.

It
Fire in the Sky
Intruders
Those two UFO movies traumatized me quite a bit. And I wasn't the only one when reading the forums section of IMBD of those movies.....
Blair Witch Project was pretty cool when it came out.

The Conjuring is one of the scariest fucking movies I have ever witnessed. That they managed that amount of pure terror with nary a drop of blood was amazing. Too bad the sequel sucked =(
[edit for self-correction] Annabelle was a prequel not a sequel. Sill sucked in comparison =(
