Lots left - I love a good fright...

...but looking over my list, it's apparent I go for psychological terror and understated horror movies. I have an aversion to gorefests. I'd rather be disturbed than pelted with blood. IMO, the viewer's fertile imagination is one of the best special FX a filmmaker has.

These are personal favorites, not a "best of" list, and to get more movies on it, I won't mention Nosferatu, The Thing, The Shining, Them or The Day The Earth Caught Fire which you already have on your list.

My current favorite horror movie is The Devil's Backbone. I love it and recommend this gem from 2001.

Other faves:

Vampyr (Dreyer)
Faust (Murnau)
Bride of Frankenstein
The Old Dark House
The Haunting (this movie scared the heck outa me when I was 11.)
The Wicker Man
The Innocents
Onibaba (The Witch)
Repulsion
Rosemary's Baby
Hour of the Wolf (Vargtimmen)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Alien
Cat People
Videodrome

I love Roeg's Don't Look Now, but for the life of me, I can't classify it as "horror". The lines between thriller, sci-f- and horror are sometimes hard to draw.
