..that about does it. "Henry", pretty predictable, good performance from Mike Rooker, but cheesy production doesn't lend itself well to considering multiple viewings, IMO.
To me, the following are a must in any horror collection, others have been mentioned above.
Carrie
The Omen
Cat People, and Curse of the Cat People for a interesting follow on
The Fog
Don't Look Now
Psycho(psychological thriller mostly, or as some call it a psychological horror)
The Haunting(original Robert Wise directed)
The Birds(another must from Hitchcock with horror elements)
the rest in no order
-------------------------
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Shaun of the Dead
Dead Alive
Friday the 13th: Final Chapter part4 (im not copying you cine)
The Thing
Texas Chainsaw massacre orignal
Halloween
if you swapped Halloween with Evil Dead 2 on Evils list, i'd agree most with that one. or Cines, hes pretty on the money too.

I am aware that "your" should be "you're," and while I know I should change it as not to offend the grammar fans around the boards, school always said not to bow to peer pressure so it stays as it is
I'm sensing a pattern here from all of us horror nuts, but who am I to not put in my two cents? Here goes:
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
Evil Dead Trilogy
Living Dead Trilogy
The Shining
The Changeling
Halloween
Freaks (1932)
Re-Animator
Hellraiser
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
Most of these movies are essential to any TRUE horror fans collection, so most of us will all list the same movies over and over. I, myself, listed The Changeling because it was the first movie to genuinely scare me as a young adult, and Freaks, in my opinion, is a masterpiece of the macabre. However by todays standards it is not exactly "horror", but is still banned in some parts of the world for reasons I cannot even fathom.
all the hellriaser movies all teh cucky movies and probly the orignal fly movie i got t he remakes there pritty good gotta see what the orignall 2 are like
cant believe no-ones mentioned the following
last house on the left-groundbreaking violence at the time and probly cravens finest
cannibal holocaust/ferox-every self respecting horror fan should have either one of these in their collection
at least one lucio fulci film preferably the beyond,city of the living dead or zombie flesheaters
and a couple of obscurities are always nice so i reccomend either of the following
i drink your blood or frightmare
LHOTH is incredibly dated, IMO. It's pretty flawed, granted it's his first film, but I don't think it's neccessary to own, much less watch over and over. As for it being Craven's best, that's more of an insult, lol. Especially when you'd consider puting it over "Scream" or "NOES".

I don't believe its any of your business what is in my DVD collection. SO what if I have a only horror movies that are full of gory? So what if I find dead people more intresting then living ones? Now you think I'm completely insane but I say you are the ones in need of a psych exam. Now if you would excuse me the monster under my bed needs a glass of water.
