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.
Not my favourite but Sleepaway Camp is an absolute classic of so-bad-its-good 80s horror with an unforgettable ending.
The 1922 Nosferatu.
GYO Tokyo Fish Attack. Body horror is a great genre that doesn’t 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.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974 Alien Paranormal Activity (first one) V/H/S Train to Busan Children of the corn Frozen (about three skiers - not sure if this counts) Saw Orphan
Little Shop of Horrors, original and remake. But I always assign social commentary, regardless if the writer meant any or not.
"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.
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 “The Howling” and “An American Werewolf in London”, 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.

Bob Roberts, a true tale of political horror.
