Back in the 80s and early 90s, I was a huge horror fan. I remember laying my hands on really bad VHS copies that were supposed to be uncut and double-checking their runtimes. I could write the same list as tiny E did: they're definitely classic movies.

But there were also a lot of good Spanish and Italian horror movies, some of them extremely cheesy.

Mario Bava's Black Sunday, 1960
Amando de Ossorio's Tombs of the Blind Dead, 1972, and its sequels
Dario Argento's Suspiria, 1977, and La Chiesa, 1989

Then there was a sheer endless number of Italian horror and splatter movies. Most of them weren't really recommendable such as Lucio Fulci's City of the Living Dead or Ruggero Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust. The latter introduced the concept of found footage, so it has a certain value when we consider later films such as Blair Witch Project.

I finally lost interest in horror films with the rise of the Hostel and Saw franchises. Rob Zombie occasionally directs some interesting films, but I really have to be in the right mood for them.

Kinda depends on the subgenre. More into psychological horror, and I hate jumpscares. Surprises aren't scary. They're surprising. I can encounter surprise really easily by walking down a street because my peripheral vision is poop
