One that I liked that hasn't been mentioned was the 80s version of the Fly. For a while that defined a horror movie for me, the story of the relationship between Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis and what happens really got to me. Of course I was pretty young and it WAS made in the 80s so I'm not sure how well it stands up LOL. I also remember seeing the Alien when it first came out. A friend went with me and we had heard it was really scary. We had made some joke or comment about counting the scares. Well the theater starts playing the movie (or maybe it was the previews, could they honestly have played a movie without a preview once upon a time?) without dimming the lights at all so the first thing that happens is they loudly play the drums before the 20th Century Fox fanfare, and everyone jumped a bit at that. I joked that was "Scare #1". The rest of the movie turned out to be quite good as well, as did Aliens, though that is almost more action film than horror film. And my thumbs up to some of the other favorites mentioned: The Omen (the original, haven't seen the remake yet) The Shining Videodrome (pretty weird, and some good stuff for BDSM fans. I remember freaking out an early girlfriend when I mentioned I actually got excited by some of that stuff. Sigh).
