What are your favorite horror movies. I am loosely interpreting horror to also include psychological thrillers.
I love everything from classic Hitchcock, old Vincent Price movies, 80's slasher, b movies as well as newer fare.
Psycho
The Birds
The Pit and the Pendulum
The Fall of the House of Usher
Halloween
Trick R Treat
Storm of the Century (Stephen King)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Saw
The Exorcist
I could go on and on but I'd really like to hear what other people enjoy. I need some new suggestions.

I love horror movies!
A few of mine...
Ghost Story (1981)
Frankenstein (1931)
Dawn of the Dead
The Hunger
The Night of the Demon ( 1957) is a beautifully crafted movie, and the forerunner for a lot of what followed. It is genuinely scary, as it plays on the mind as with it's dialogue as much as the pictures do.
In the world's harsh wear and tear many a very sincere attachment is slowly obliterated.
Είμαι ταξιδιώτης τόσο στο χρόνο όσο και στο διάστημα
The Haunting (1963 version)
Alien (1978)
Night of the Living Dead (1968 original, I'm generally not fond of the cannibal zombie genre but the movie that started it all gets a pass)
Carnival of Souls (1962, very creepy and Twilight Zone-ish)
Dracula (1931, not as scary anymore but still creepy and atmospheric)
Nosferatu (1922 silent, best vampire film ever, the 1979 sound remake by Werner Herzog is pretty good as well)
Halloween (1978, John Carpenter at his finest)
The Thing (1951 and 1982 versions, different takes on the same original story, both great horror, Carpenter again with the 1982 version)
The Wicker Man (1973, pretend the Nicolas Cage remake never happened and just enjoy the performances by Edward Woodward and Christopher Lee)
Psycho (1960, oddly Hitch didn't do much actual horror, mostly thrillers like Rear Window and North by Northwest, but this remains the finest psycho-slasher film of all time)
Hellraiser (1987, forget the subsequent misbegotten attempts to turn Pinhead into another horror anti-hero like Freddy or Jason, the original is a bloody, creepy show that does a bang-up job of bringing Clive Barker's horror sensibility to the cinema. Written and directed by Barker from his novella The Hellbound Heart)
I'm probably missing some. There should a King movie on here but I'm not sure which one. Maybe Misery or the TV miniseries of Salem's Lot.
I have so many of them but the one that comes to mind the most is The Shinning and anything by Steven King.
The movies that scared me most aren't horror movies - Requiem for a Dream and Apocalypse Now.
As for horror movies, I like them bloody with a sense of humour. There was a Norwegian zombie movie called Dead Snow a few years ago that was a lot of fun.
Don't believe everything that you read.
Since psychological thrillers are included, here's my list:
Psycho (the original... the last remake was just god-awful!!!)
Fatal Attraction
Halloween
A Nightmare on Elm Street (again, the original)
Frankenstein (any version)
Dracula
Alien
Aliens
Freaks
Never watch them alone if I watch them I need a arm to grab and cuddle closer to.
Freddie Crouger still scares my pants off!
Any classic black and white horror movie .... Bela Lugosi great actor ...
Dracula
Frankenstein
But these were good too :
The covenant (OK NOT scary but was good )
The Blair witch project was good
Blade trilogy was bad ass
