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.

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.
The ending of NOTLD is still so relevant today, sadly.
The 1922 Nosferatu.
Not my favourite but Sleepaway Camp is an absolute classic of so-bad-its-good 80s horror with an unforgettable ending.
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.
If you like body horror, go watch The Substance. That movie brought back memories of when body horror used to be good (Videodrome, Scanners, Toxic Avenger, etc)
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
Midsommer is my favorite. A slow, realistic slide into horror.
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.
Army of Darkness.
