Let's start with some basics-
1) I don't care if a horror movie scares me or not. I'm RARELY scared by horror. A good horror film doesn't have to be scary to be good. A good horror film can stand on it's narrative and aesthetic.
2) This list includes some horror-comedies, but only those which include sequences where horror outweighs the comedy. Return of the Living Dead is a zombie horror-comedy, yes, but it pushes the horror side. It's on this list. Fido is a zombie horror-comedy, yes, but it's almost exclusively a comedy. It's not on the list.
3) I don't believe in "thriller" as a genre. I think it's a vague term that overlaps any number of genres and is solely defined by high tension. Some of the films on this list are "thrillers" by common vernacular, but they push horror as well (Silence of the Lambs). Other "thrillers" I enjoy (such as Unbreakable) may not be on the list because they are not horror movies on their own.
Okay, let's see if I can get some names rolling-
- Romero's Zombie films (My favorites in order being- Dawn, Night, Day, Land, Diary) - Return of the Living Dead - The Hills Have Eyes (Original & Remake both) - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original), TCM2 - The Exorcist - John Carpenter's The Thing - Frontier(s) - The Descent - Burrowers - Silent Hill - Zombi 2 - Burial Ground: Nights of Terror - Carnival of Souls - The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari - Dead Next Door - Nosferatu (Murnau's original & Herzog's remake) - Shadow of the Vampire - Blood: The Last Vampire (original) - Messiah of Evil - The Driller Killer - The Evil Dead - The Sleepaway Camp series - Alien/Aliens - Woman in the Dunes (Suna no Onna) - The Devil's Backbone (El Espinazo del Diablo) - Ravenous - Outpost - Man Bites Dog - The Hazing - The Universal Horror Classics (especially The Mummy, The Invisible Man, and Creature from the Black Lagoon) - Silent Warnings - Pitch Black
I could keep going, but I think I'll cut it off here for the time being.
