I've got a few I love. I do love the feeling of being scared during a movie - and for that I rely most often on The Thing (John Carpenter's), Suspiria, and The Shining. Sometimes I will succumb and start up The Exorcist... and man. I never watch that with people, or with the lights on. I watch it on my computer, with my studio speakers plugged in, wrapped in a blanket that never seems to be warm enough.
There's also The Frighteners, Shaun of the Dead, The Monster Squad, Evil Dead II... they're horror comedies, sure, but there's a sense of dread that works in each one because of how likable and fun the characters are.
And finally, there are movies I watch that aren't traditional horror movies per se, but something about them unsettles something in me. We're talking Requiem for a Dream, The Dark Crystal, A Serious Man, The Night of the Hunter, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me... list goes on and on.
How about you guys?
