Not a well known film - made in the early 70's and genuinely scary.
My other votes would go to
Eraserhead
The Haunting
The Shining
Psycho
and
Brazil ... that's right - Terry Gilliam's "black comedy" a la 1984.
It may not be a horror film according to strict interpretation, but I found it deeply horrifying and almost physically unsettling.

agree--one of the most unsettling films I've ever seen--brilliantly directed
between the notes is the horror of mind

add 2001 to your list
Stanley Kubrick was the master of silence:
think of the scene with the red body tumbling into and eternity of black panic...
followed by...
"...Open the pod bay door HAL..."
