For pure creepiness you can't beat The Shining. NOBODY could create a more dehumanized atmosphere than Kubrick

Can I cheat and say all my fav horrors because my fav changes? In no particular order: Nosfaratu (1922) The Shining The Thing (1982) The Evil Dead (1982) Let the Right One In (2009) [not the US remake 'Let Me In'] Alien The Exorcist Hereditary
@Imsleepy the thing is great. I don’t care for a lot of cheesy ones. I like cheesy Syfy movies but not horror. Insidious and the conjuring where amazing.
Have you seen "Ghost Story?" I think you'll like it.
IMDB: "Two generations of men find themselves haunted by the presence of a spectral woman. When the son of one of the elderly men returns to his hometown after his brother's mysterious death, they attempt to unravel her story."
Four successful elderly gentlemen, members of the Chowder Society, share a gruesome, 50-year old secret. When one of Edward Wanderley's twin sons dies in a bizarre accident, the group begins to see a pattern of frightening events developing.
If you want some real, gut-wrenching thrills, try Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities on Netflix. It’s an anthology of stories written by well respected horror writers. Some of them are truly terrifying and the special effects are breathtaking.
Videodrome or Eraserhead. Both of them are more strange than actually scary though. Since it’s really hard to scare me that’s how I like my horror movies. If you’re looking specifically for something scary I suggest the original Insidious.
I'm a fan of older, so called, classic horror films. From silent ones through the 70s. The best recent one I've seen is Train to Busan. Great zombie movie.
Ghost Stories English Dub, go watch it. HAS to be the English dub. https://www.crunchyroll.com/watch/G63VM81VY/amanojaku-tonight-the-spirits-will-be-resurrected Go on, I dare you.
I hate them now, but when I was much younger I couldn’t get enough of them. Back in the day I was obsessed with Sometimes They Come Back Again🙈😬😂 That card scene is forever marked in my mind. Wish it wasn’t now! Lol I’d also recommend Sinister and The Descent
Universal studios’ 1935 Werewolf of London starring Henry Hull. Done in B&W, and certain tongue in cheek and cinematic nuances that you go, WTF? It’s also one of many Universal horror movies that if you pay close attention to, you will see a thread of religion coursing through them.
