IMO, The Exorcist was the most iconic horror movie ever. It transitioned horror movies from the likes of vampires, monsters and zombies to an altogether different type movie.
As a kid, I had nightmares about old Drac, Werewolves, etc.... but grew out of it. The Exorcist and that type movie still gives me the willies.

Fairly recent horror movies I've liked are Sinister and Insidious.
All time though, it's gotta be The Shining.

-Friday the 13th, part 3. When Jason takes the mask off, I nearly crapped.
-The Exorcism of Emily Rose. I didn't sleep for a year.

Burnt offerings
The babadook I thought was solid
Solaris - sci fi but freaky
Christine - guilty pleasure
Otherwise I find the themes so repetitive as to be boring. Gimme a weird take.

I can't stand any Rob Zombie crap. Especially that abomination of a Halloween movie.
I was a big fan of the Nightmare on Elm St movies. A bit cheesy, but man Freddy was an awesome character. Not only did he kill you in your dreams, but he screwed with your head while he did it. I like Jason and Michael Myers, but the silent but deadly just isn't as good as the smarta$$ killer.
Zombie (not Rob) movies are my favorite. I like all of the (Living) Dead movies (Night, Return, Dawn, Day, etc) and some of the newer ones aren't bad (a couple Resident Evil's, 28 Days/Weeks Later, World War Z, The Crazies).
There aren't very many actually scary movies anymore though. Mostly they are more action than horror. I love a good scare, but nothing hardly does that like the older 70's-90's movies.
I'm not a fan for the fact they're usually so poorly produced they aren't remotely believable. Now, certain ones are good and very plausible but in general they're awful.
Halloween 2 original is my favorite because it starts so fast. I also love the descent and the new Texas chainsaw massacre
The thing....cant believe this hasn't been said yet.
Sinister was pretty good, the original texas chainsaw massacre is good and I think it being old and filmed cheaply adds to it.

Just saw a trailer for the new It. Looks really good. The first one scared the crap out of me when I was young. I've never looked at clowns or sewers the same
Watched a bizarre movie on Netflix a few months ago; Baskin. It's Hungarian, I think, and I believe it's a remake. It's one of the better horror movies I've seen that was recently made.
The best parts of that movie is when all the "evil spirits" butler/bartender/restroom attendant are just mind ******* him.
I saw the movie at Showcase Cinemas the week it came out and you could hear a pin drop during the "twins" scene in the hallway.
The bathroom scene. Tension you could cut with a knife. Notice: Jack Torrance is looking in the mirror pretty much the whole time:
Solid movie but Freaks ruined Tod Browning's career. Have you ever seen the "uncut" version?
Debate over sci-fi or horror aside, Alien Covenant is getting mixed reviews.. but everyone is saying the deaths and gore are it's strongest feature. Might have to check it out this weekend.
