Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $7.54
A great mockumentary from the director of 'Deadbeat at Dawn' that demystifies the myth of the Manson family. You'll swear you're watching actual footage from the '60's. Bloody and intense.
TenebreTenebre
Buy used from: $5.88
In my humble opinion, the only Argento film really worth watching. Great murder scenes.
Fright NightFright Night

Another 80's classic. A vampire flick that is as funny as it is scary.
Shogun AssassinShogun Assassin
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $7.97
Okay, so it's not a horror film. Still a great movie. Surreal and hyperviolent, impossible to keep a body count. Decapitations, head-splittings, limb choppings, and geysers of blood.
RabidRabid
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $7.79
Another great Cronenberg "body-horror" film. About an accident victim who rejects a controversial medical procedure and turns, well, rabid.
ManiacManiac
Buy used from: $9.65
Sleezy, bloody, classless 80's slasher. Popularly reviled, but still a great horror film and snapshot of a bygone era in film.
Let's Scare Jessica to DeathLet's Scare Jessica to Death
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.98
Haunting, atmospheric and insanely creepy. The only PG-13 film to make the list!
Deadbeat at Dawn (Special Edition)Deadbeat at Dawn (Special Edition)
Buy used from: $13.75
Again, not really a horror film. Ultra low-budget, super-violent urban gang / revenge film. Gritty, bloody and nasty.
The Exorcist 3The Exorcist 3
Buy new: $7.49 / Used from: $0.48
Surprisingly good sequel to the original. Inventive and seriously scary.
