I decided to do a "31 days of horror" this year for Halloween.  In order I'm watching:

Week 1: 13 Ghosts (2001), Evil Dead (2013), House on Haunted Hill (1999), Grave Encounters, As Above, So Below, Hell House LLC, Jennifer's Body

Week 2: Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), Scream, Halloween (1978), Child's Play, Hellraiser 2, Friday the 13th (1980), Freddy vs Jason

Week 3: Byzantium, An American Werewolf in London, 30 Days of Night, Dog Soldiers, John Carpenter's Vampires, Ginger Snaps, From Dusk Till Dawn

Week 4: Alien, They Live, The Thing (1982), Pitch Black, Slither, Attack the Block, Undead

Week 5: Planet Terror, Feast, Trick 'r Treat

Quote from: The Exploited.;996999I'm a bit Nigel Neal fan. Quatermass and the pit is one of my favorites (the hammer one!). Stone tapes is great as well - Great ending!

Some of my favs are:
The Thing (my all time favorite!).
Halloween 1 & 2
Phantasm 1, 2
Evil Dead II
In the mouth of Madness (Carpenter again).
Salem's Lot.
Scanners (must see!).
The Brood!
Video Drome.
The Fly.
Nightmare on Elm St. 1
Reanimator.
Cube.
Event Horizon.
The Mist.

The Fly is an excellent remake. More like a re-imagining.

I saw the original, decades after, on Netflix. A little bit campy, but has a disturbing undercurrent.

I saw the original fly before seeing the remake (which I saw when it came out in the theater). They are such different movies, they are difficult to compare. But I think the first one was very good. They are just very much products of different eras, and the remake has a lot more emotional resonance on the body horror front (I think it tapped into something pretty deep there). But the original had Vincent Price.

The original Fly has an iconic ending, amusing and horrifying.

I haven't really searched out the black and white classics, but I've liked these:

Eyes Without A Face
White Zombie
Night of the Demon

Billy Idol was great in Eyes Without a Face.

Les  yeux sans visage...

He made a song about it. He wasn't in the movie, though - unless there was some sort of remake I wasn't sure about.

If people like older, slightly more obscure (because it was essentially banned for years) horror movies, then Peeping Tom is very interesting. It's about voyeurism, obviously, but it's one of the first movies to make use of a first-person style camera work, with the protagonist filming his victims with an old fashioned video camera. Like Les Yeux San Visage, and Psycho, it came out in 1960 which seems to be a turning point of sorts about what sort of things you could do with modern cinematic horror.

Actually, another interesting movie that I can't quite get my hands on at the moment for some reason is Candyman. In all, I thought it was the best adaptation of Clive Barker's work (much more interesting than Hellraiser, which I think has dated badly). Although they did shift the setting to America rather than Liverpool in the UK, it kept the slavery aspect of it in tact. In the book, this was significant as an exposé of sorts, as most people (still) don't realise that the city of Liverpool was largely founded on the wealth provided by the slave trade.

Also, the Polanski movie, The Ninth Gate with Jonny Depp is sooooo underrated!

All three B&W films Arroz mentions are terrific, particularly eyes without a face. Val Lewton's B&W horror films are all well worth watching Cat People bviously and someone also mentioned my favourite of his Night of the Demon but also check out:

The Seventh Victim
I Walked with a Zombie
The Body Snatcher

I did a list of five Shaw Brothers monsters and villains for Halloween: http://shawbrothersuniverse.com/five-bone-chilling-monsters-and-villains-for-october/

I love Black Magic and enjoyed Killer Snakes but haven't seen the rest and they look great, thanks!

No problem. I really wanted to put more Kuei Chih-Hung movies on there like Boxer's Omen and Corpse Mania on the list, but tried not to repeat any directors.

If you do try to catch any of the others, I'd probably go with Human Lanterns first (that is currently on Amazon Prime). Enchanting Ghost is good for seeing early Shaw Brothers Horror (Bride From Hell is also a good one). It may be hard to find though. I've only seen it available on VCD. The Enchantress is quite frankly a bit bizarre but good.
