The Exorist wrecked me and I'm still in therapy because of it lol.

There is a seriously fucked up one that CNN keeps replaying every day. Can't remember the name of it.

Shining should definitely be on that list, as well.

Definitely a masterpiece....

Near Dark may be the best vampire film ever made.
The original Dawn of The Dead is on my list of great horror pictures.
Night of The Living Dead (1990) I prefer over the original.
John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness is genuinely creepy.

The Exorcist creeped the hell out of me, as well, when I was 14.
Probably the only Devil-related movie that needs to be taken seriously....no pun intended.
If you're gonna watch it, expect to not sleep for a few days....just like ALIEN (the chestburster scene still creeps me out.....John Hurt REALLY delivered an amazing believable and very scary performance, in that scene. So real that even the other actors in the scene weren't definitely prepared for that). That was Ridley Scott at his best, there.

Speaking of the Devil, demons and other supernatural entities, other than The Mothman Prophecies, there's also a very great (and underrated) movie with Denzel Washington and John Goodman, called Fallen, which story evolves around a demon who tries to possess a cop.
It's not really an horror movie. But it will definitely have you at the edge of your seat.

"Drag Me To Hell" (2009)

IMHO Sam Raimi's Horror Masterpiece

Really surprised Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead were not on the list. Some other faves are Kill, Baby Kill (1966), Friday the 13th pt. 2 (my favorite of the series), Halloween 3 (my favorite of the sequels), The Burning, and Just Before Dawn.

Conjuring, Insidious, Final Destination.

I watched a bunch of horror movies for this October as I often do each year and for this year I decided to watch horror movies that were released recently, thus the two movies I would recommend are Mandy(2018) and Hereditary (2018). Cause for me, great horror movies are the ones that linger with you even after you watched them days ago.
