These all sound good, got a fair few to watch by the looks of it haha, seen only about 10% of the mentioned. The Fly and the evil deads are definitely ones I've heard are good.

Critters trailer looked good, made me laugh aswell.

 

[Mr Saab]

Re-Animator was pretty interesting - 1986.
Bringing people back from the dead.

Cant believe no one have mentioned The Exorcist or Alien yet.

 

[carcharias]

"When a stranger calls" the first one scared the shit out of me as a kid.
As most have mentioned though Evil Dead 1 = classic.
Alan Hawkeye Alda was in one called the Mophisto waltz ..that was pretty intense from memory

Tbh, I just assume everyone has seen Alien.

Cant believe no one have mentioned The Exorcist or Alien yet.

They're pretty much a given

 

[timka4]

Yeah I'd say most people have seen those. Thread was kind of based around movies that aren't generic

 

[Eddie Lab]

Arachnophobia is the reason behind my fear of spiders
Sleepy Hollow sort of counts as horror and is good
From Dusk till Dawn is ok and worth watching
Final Destination is great for some gore and suspense

 

[Tommy Smith]

The Fly is a classic from Cronenberg.

Videodrome (1983) is also another good one from him.

 

[Firey_Dragon]

Evil Dead 2
Night of the Living Dead
Dawn of the living dead
Day of the living dead
Return of the living dead
Crimewave
THe fly
The omen

Some recent B grade ones

Hobo with a shotgun
Ted and Dale vs Evil
Orphan

It's actually Tucker and Dale vs Evil. It also has to be one of the funniest movies of the last few years.

bad boy bubbah
the original hitcher
the blob
the last house on the left
there is another one from the mid nineties i can't remember the name of where a blind chick is stuck in a massive house with a killer and has to feel herself out that was pretty scary to watch as a kid
