The Thing (1982) - Not little known, but I love it so much I can't not-recommend it on any horror movie list.
What We Do in the Shadows (2014) - a horror docuspoof comedy following the lives of a group of vampires in the modern day
The Wicker Man (1973) - The OG film, a great mystery horror thriller about a cop out of his jurisdiction investigating a missing person, not the remake starring Nick Cage and THE BEEEEEEEES.
I Drink Your Blood (1970) - Hippy satanists turn cannibals and wreak havoc on a small town.
Bloodsucking Freaks (1976) - A magician performs sadistic tricks that astound and amaze with their realism. (Pro-tip: it's real)

Depends.
You with others, put on Tusk. It’s funny, ridiculous, and has just enough actually disturbing moments to be considered horror. Highly recommend.
On your own? If you aren’t opposed to subtitles, an Austrian film called Goodnight Mommy is pretty decent. It does enough things differently to be worth a look.

Thinner (1996) - Super suspenseful and underrated IMO. Towards the end you'll really be rooting for the main character.
Noroi: The Curse (2005) - Worth watching if you don't mind found footage. Sort of a slow burn but it's got some really good creepy moments.
It Follows (2014) - A very unique take on the supernatural. Artsy but also unsettling.
Mama (2013) - One of my favorite horror movies to come out in recent years. Has an entity that manages to be both scary and sympathetic, plus there's a cute dog that doesn't die.

I'm in total horror movie mode and have been all October long. Great stuff!
I'll go full on spergy and fill out this list of Horror movie questions, and maybe give people some recommendations along the way:
I'll go full on spergy and fill out this list of Horror movie questions, and maybe give people some recommendations along the way:
Favorite Horror Movie of All Time: Too hard to pick just one. The Exorcist, John Carpenter's The Thing, Halloween (original), Psycho, the first 3 Romero zombie flicks, and the Universal Monster movies of the 30s and 40s would top my list. Oh and also the original Godzilla film, which I do consider a horror film.
Favorite Horror Movie Series: Honestly, the most consistently good series of Horror films that I can think of are the Universal Frankenstein Films of the 30s and 40s. The original is a classic, Bride of Frankenstein is the earliest example of a sequel surpassing the original, Son of Frankenstein is very good, Ghost of Frankenstein is fun and crazy, and Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man is a significant and entertaining crossover. The weakest entries are the two "House of" crossover films which probably crammed a little too much into too little run time. But still, I can't think of any other series that stayed consistently good for 5 straight entries. And if we want to count Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein, that one is easily the best of the A&C Comedy Monster movies.
My 2nd place horror series would be The Evil Dead Trilogy. 1, 2, and Army of Darkness are all great in their own way.
Favorite Silent Horror Movie: Either Phantom of the Opera, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, or, of course, Nosferatu
Favorite Dracula Movie: VERY Hard to say. I love Dracula, but there has never been that ideal perfect version to choose a favorite. There are aspects of various versions I consider the best, and if you could combine them all, you'd have a perfect Dracula. Lugosi is my favorite Dracula, and I love the black and white, the awesome sets, and the atmosphere of his original film. I love Peter Cushing as Van Helsing from the Hammer films and would love to include him, along with Hammer's slightly more violent approach. The visuals of the 1992 Coppola version would also be my preference, and various other versions include moments from the book that other versions don't have that'd be nice to have. And some cast members from all the different versions (Dwight Frye and Lawrence Olivier) would be nice as well. Oh and some of the striking visuals and the ending to Nosferatu would be great too.
Among my favorite Dracula films are Nosferatu (both silent and Herzog versions), Lugosi version, 1st Hammer movie, 70s version with Lee, Coppola version, and heck, I even kind of like Mel Brooks' Dracula Dead And Loving It just for yucks. I'll also throw some love to the often overlooked Dracula's Daughter, with Gloria Holden in the title role. This was Universal's first sequel to the Lugosi film and I believe gets overlooked because it has none of the big names (Lugosi, Karloff, Chaney Jr., etc.) in it, but its better than one would expect.
Favorite Werewolf Movie: An American Werewolf In London immediately comes to mind and is worthy of mention, but for me, nothing tops Universal's original The Wolf Man starring Lon Chaney (though that was NOT their first Werewolf movie, but skip Werewolf in London, it sucks).
Favorite Frankenstein Movie: Bride of Frankenstein. It is almost perfect and one of my favorite films period. The original, Son of, Ghost of, and Meets the Wolfman from the original Universal films are worth watching too. Also, the Hammer studios films are worth it for Peter Cushing's villainous portrayal of Dr. Frankenstein. The 1st, Curse of Frankenstein, and Frankenstein Created Woman are my two favorites from Hammer. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein from the early 90s is also a decent attempt to capture the essence of the book. And for yucks, I gotta give props to Young Frankenstein.
Favorite Mummy Movie: The 1st Hammer studios version with Christopher Lee as The Mummy starring along side Peter Cushing. It is a well made update to the typical Mummy film that Universal made. Never was a huge Mummy fan, but this is the one I always revisit.
Favorite (Non-Dracula) Vampire Movie: Too many to go through. I'll say for a dramatic take, I like Interview With a Vampire, an adaptation that I felt surpassed the book it was based on and featured three very strong performances from Pitt, Cruise, and a very young Kirsten Dunst. For more of a camp and adventurous affair, I'll take From Dusk Till Dawn. Other really good ones include Let the Right One In, The Lost Boys, Fright Night, and Vampire Hunter D. (BTW, is Bloodlust any good? I never saw it).
Favorite Haunted House Movie: My personal favorite is The Shining. Nicholson's insane performance and Duvall's sheer terror mixed with Kubrick's unique style created something tense and horrifying. Other favorites include The Old Dark House, House on Haunted Hill (original), The Haunting (original), Poltergeist, Oculus, and The Babadook. Also, do Evil Dead 1 and 2 count as Haunted House movies? Because I'm tempted to list them here as well.
Favorite Zombie Movie: Night of the Living Dead is the bible of zombie movies, and will always be my personal favorite. Romero's other films Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead are awesome too. Also Night and Dawn got pretty damn good remakes. Other good ones include Return of the Living Dead, 28 Days Later, Train to Busan (I was in tears at the end of this one), and for more of a comedic approach, Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland are both great too.
Favorite Possession Movie: The Exorcist is the be all, end all in that regard. Its been ripped off so many times that it seems silly to bring up anything else.
Favorite Slasher Movie: The original Halloween is my ideal choice here. Michael Myers, The Shape, is the ideal tower of power, silent, slasher villain for me. To give Freddy some attention, he is my favorite slasher character, and I also love the original A Nightmare on Elm Street, Part 3 Dream Warriors, and New Nightmare. The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre also deserves to be brought up as a classic. As for Friday the 13th, it is probably the slasher series I prefer the most as they consistently keep the tone of camp in most of the entries, and Jason's evolution throughout the films give it more re-watchability as a series. Also credit to Child's Play for giving us Chucky. The Chucky films are literally the only series I can think of where I will watch every film just for one character. The original Scream is also quite good. And finally, I gotta give love to Candyman, which thankfully didn't get overexposed with a ton of sequels.
Favorite "Science Gone Wrong" Movie: Frankenstein is probably the ideal candidate for this as it was the grand daddy of them all, so my favorite Franky film, Bride of, gets the nod here. However, I'll list other great ones like both versions of The Fly. I probably prefer the remake, but I highly recommend both. Also, Re-Animator is a worthy successor to the Frankenstein concept. I'd say The Invisible Man (my favorite version being the original with Claude Rains) deserves mention as well. Also Splice is worth a watch mainly for how messed up it gets. And finally, I gotta throw some love to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, whose film presence is about as old as Frankenstein's if I'm not mistaken. My preferred version is the Frederic March film, which earned him an Academy Award for his performance (Back when the Oscars were cool).
Favorite Gore Fest: The first Evil Dead. There are plenty of zombie movies that are gorier and there are more grotesque films, but this one just has a magic to it that can't be beat.
Favorite Giant Monster Movie: The Godzilla films, all day, every day. Kong is great too, and I can throw the work of Ray Harryhausen like Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, Pac Rim and Jurassic Park up there too, but Godzilla is king.
Most Underrated Horror Movie: Horror movies have a funny way of getting rediscovered. I mean 25 years ago, I might have said The Thing was underrated, but that has ascended to its rightful place as being considered among the best of the genre. And even the ones I am about to list have all gained more traction in recent years: Halloween 3: Season of the Witch, Exorcist III, and Oculus definitely come to mind. Also, how do fans feel about Wes Craven's New Nightmare? Because I think that is one of the best of the Nightmare on Elm Street Films. Dracula's Daughter is the most underrated of the old Universal films.
Favorite Non-Supernatural Horror Movie: Psycho tops the list for me, but there are many great options. Silence of the Lambs obviously deserves attention. The silent movie version of Phantom of the Opera deserves mention. Don't Breath is a more recent example of a great one. Also, Misery is a great example too. Oh and Jaws belongs up there too for sure. It was a big AF shark, but not in the realm of the supernatural. Slasher movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Scream, and the 1st Saw would also count as really good Non-Supernatural horror films. Finally, I'll give some love to The Devil's Rejects. I'm not too big on Rob Zombie's films, but TDR is quite good, which is why I jokingly refer to it as that time Rob Zombie accidentally made a good movie.
Favorite Found Footage Horror Movie: Honestly, the only ones I liked were Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield. Everything else felt like it was just a cheap attempt to cash in on the craze.
Favorite Water-based Horror Movie: Jaws is my answer for sure. However, I want to throw some love to The Creature From The Black Lagoon as well, which has thankfully never been remade (knock on wood).
Favorite Christmas Time Horror Movie: Fuck it, I'm saying Gremlins.
Favorite Stephen King Horror Adaptation: The Shining for me, with Misery at a close 2nd.
Favorite Horror Comedy: The original Ghostbusters takes the crown here for being creative, funny, and boasts great horror movie elements along the way, with a great cast to balance it all out. Other greats include Young Frankenstein, Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland, and I guess Monster Squad for more of a kids adventure type of film.
Favorite Family Friendly Horror Movie: Does Gremlins count here too? Because that's where I'm leaning.
Favorite Horror Remake: John Carpenter's The Thing takes the cake. The original is a good "of its time" style movie. The remake is a timeless classic. Other great remakes include The Hammer takes on the classic monsters Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Mummy, remakes to Night and Dawn of the Dead, the Cronenberg remake of The Fly, the Herzog Nosferatu, and the 80s version of The Blob. I guess House of Wax with Vincent Price counts as one too. Its hard to think of a movie from the 50s as being a remake, but hey, I love it, so lets show it some love.
Favorite Horror Movie in the Last Decade: Can't pick one, but The Babadook, Get Out, Don't Breath, Oculus, Hereditary, and Train to Busan all come to mind.
Favorite Horror Movie Iconic Character: For me, it comes down to two groups: The Universal Monsters of the olden days (Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, The Invisible Man, The Gill Man, The Bride, etc.) and The Slashers of the 70s and 80s (Michael Myers, Leatherface, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Kruegar, Chucky). These have all become faces of the genre and staples of Halloween imagery. I can't imagine the holiday without them. I can't pick just one.
Favorite Slasher Villain: Freddy Kruegar is my pick for kind of going against the grain by being the cat that toys with his prey and makes cracks instead of being the silent and towering behemoth. Myers is my favorite of the masked, tall, and invulnerable killers, though Jason's evolution made him fun to follow from film to film. Also, I adore Chucky to no end.
Favorite Horror Movie Hero or Heroine: Ripley is my pick here. She rules, and I loved her in the first two Alien movies. She had the right balance of toughness and emotional core of the film. I also gotta throw love to Ash from Evil Dead, everyone's favorite lunkhead, Nancy from Nightmare on Elm Street, the resourceful and determined teenager, and Dracula's mortal enemy, Van Helsing (Cushing was the best).
Favorite Horror Movie Series: Honestly, the most consistently good series of Horror films that I can think of are the Universal Frankenstein Films of the 30s and 40s. The original is a classic, Bride of Frankenstein is the earliest example of a sequel surpassing the original, Son of Frankenstein is very good, Ghost of Frankenstein is fun and crazy, and Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man is a significant and entertaining crossover.

Watched the Susperia remake and enjoyed it. It's a great example of what a remake should do imo. While the original was, for lack of a better term, style over substance the remake focused more on story and the innerworkings of the academy.

Ringu by far. Haven't read the book though.
Sadako is one of my favorite horror characters. She is also a tragic figure. The whole idea behind cursed videotapes a d whatnot is astonishing to me. I like Reiko Asakawa too. Very believable protagonist who will do anything for her son.
Also Sadako's voice is funny. But kind of soothing? She sounds like Susanoo from Okami lol.

it was basically infinitely cooler back in the day when you saw it on an nth generation VHS copy
There's a TV drama version that's interesting in its own way. Also a direct to cable movie that I've read was made prior to the well-known one. I should check that out one of these days.
I just watched Ring vs Grudge. Some people get Ringed so they go to the house the Grudge is at so the ghosts will fight over who get to kill them.
And there's the Dreamcast game. I've heard the final boss fight it's recommended to use the missle launcher on Sadako

The bluray set from Arrow Video should arrive any moment now.
I heard the 1995 one is a lot more graphic. Like Sadako is topless lmao.
Have you read the novels? I heard they're complicated to follow

Yup. Ringu is one of a treasured few films I have watched in my life that actually genuinely frightened me beyond transitory jumpscares and enforced spookiness. The director would later go on to direct the OG Dark Water which is also extremely good and worth checking out if you have not done so already. Nigga sure as shit knows how to set a melancholically grim mood with cinematography and sound

While I agree that The Thing is a great movie - I would propose it is NOT merely a horror movie. Since the object is to understand who the creature is, it's kinda a murder-mystery.
I also enjoyed The Thing 2. The writing wasn't as good, and there were some acting issue (imo), BUT the continuity was EXCELLENT - down to the most minor of details. Loved it.
