Plan 9 from Outer SpacePlan 9 from Outer Space
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $3.48
Infamously bad film by director Ed Wood. This movie has to be seen to beleive. Also check out The movie ED Wood by tim burton about ed woods life. This was Bela Lugosi's last film.

Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $5.83
Heavily influenced many films to come, especially zombie films.
Psycho (Collector's Edition)Psycho (Collector's Edition)
Buy used from: $14.97
A truly great work of horror. Many twists in the plot and (obviously) magnificently directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Hitchcock was so adamant that people see the whole film from the beginning that signs were made and theater owners were told not to allow anyone who was late to be admitted to the theater. If you see it you will know why.
Night of the Living DeadNight of the Living Dead
Buy new: $4.98 / Used from: $2.18
George Romero's Night of the living dead. When it was released in 1968 no one was prepared for it. The gore, the social subtext, The intensity. This movie proved that a small budget film could still pack a punch and not only do well at the box office but completely change the face of the whole industry. A month after this film was released the MPAA rating system came into effect.
The Exorcist (The Version You've Never Seen)The Exorcist (The Version You've Never Seen)
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $2.48
This film has been giving people nightmares for over 25 years. It is just so completely effective. If you have seen it then you know what kind of movie this is. If you havent I wont spoil it for you. Suffice it to say, you will probably want to keep the light on when you sleep for a couple nights.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2-Disc Ultimate Edition)The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2-Disc Ultimate Edition)
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $9.99
Looks like an old educational video kinda. You know the kind they would show you in science class on those huge old projectors. That only ads to the creepiness of this film. Manical and pretty brutal.
Jaws (30th Anniversary Edition)Jaws (30th Anniversary Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $6.88
Great movie and really scary. I'll admit I watched this when I was about 7 and didnt think it was all that scary but then when I went swiming in the ocean on vacation the following summer I started to understand why people got so freaked out about this movie.
Halloween (Divimax 25th Anniversary Edition)Halloween (Divimax 25th Anniversary Edition)
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $6.92
This movie is just plain awesome. Started the slasher genre and is just a really well done movie. I highly recommend it.
Dawn of the Dead (Ultimate Edition)Dawn of the Dead (Ultimate Edition)
Buy new: $34.99 / Used from: $21.00
My personal favorite horror movie. This is just awesome. Social commentary and political subtext aside this is a really fun and scary movie. It can be enjoyed on different levels. Its all done in a sort of comic book style that works really well. Zombies in a mall. Ha, You win Mr.Romero.

Kind of a rip off of Dawn of the Dead but its actually pretty awesome. Italian director Lucio Fulci took the basic premise of Dawn of the dead and moved it all to an island and pumped up the gore, if you could even imagine that, and came out with this. Definitely worth watching if you are a zombie fan.

Chest bursting, acid bleeding, Face hugging, craziness. Awesome. Segourney Weaver is fantastic as ripley.

This series is hit or miss but it is definitely an important part of modern horror and its pretty cheap so you might as well get em all. They are all at least entertaining and some are great.

Same thing as with friday the 13th sorta hit or miss. I actually like these a little better. The first and last are classics of the genre and all are good movies.
The Thing (Collector's Edition)The Thing (Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $4.99
John Carpenters remake of the thing is totally awesome. Kurt Russel is pretty great. The special effects are amazing and seeing a head come off someones body and grow spider legs and start to crawl around it worthe the price of admission alone.
The Return of the Living Dead (Collector's Edition)The Return of the Living Dead (Collector's Edition)

Punk Rock Zombies. This movie rules. There is a lot of screaming in this movie and random nudity.

This is more or less a remake of the original evil dead and it might even be better. So much craziness. Ever want to see a guy with a sawed of shotgun and a chainsaw arm fight the weirdest assortment of crazy things you could imagine. Well then this movie is for you
Army of DarknessArmy of Darkness
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $3.95
More comedy than horror but I had to add it. It just plain rules. Whatever kind of movies you like, whoever you are you need to see this. It is 100% amazing
Dead AliveDead Alive
Buy new: $5.99 / Used from: $6.99
Totally gory and awesome. Made by Peter Jackson, you might know him as the man who made those incredibly popular movies about short furry footed creatures and wizards but before all that he made this. And it is crazy.

Say what you will about this movie. I love it. Finally a movie comes along where the charactors actually have seen at least one horror movie. A lot of in jokes and some gore. Wes Craven does it again.
