Poltergeist was brilliant.
Once i left my teenage years I found horror movies boring until I saw the Saw films and Severance - brilliant for very different reasons.

'It's all okay. You are going to be okay'.
(looks in mirror and his image says back to him:)
'You just put your girlfriend's head in a vice and cut it off with a chainsaw. Does that sound okay to you'?
Ha ha! Fucking love that film.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre was the first film where I thought I might get murdered if I was put in the same position.
'Let's go and spend the night in the old house where those kids died last summer?'
'Poke that idea up your arse'.
'Let's read this book of spells out loud'.
'Fuck right off'.
In Texas Chainsaw Massacre however all she does is go to a house for help and it's in the daytime. The boyfriend is looking for her, takes one step into the house and that big metal door suddenly opens and Leatherface impales him on a meat-hook before he can do anything about it. It was the LACK of suspense that is the genius of that film.
The Shining has to be up there too. Kubrick does a horror film. Enough said.
Also, one of my absolute favourite horrors (and I don't really like horror films) is Evil Dead 2. I had to walk out of the cinema and compose myself half way through as I couldn't stop laughing when he straps a chainsaw to his severed arm, looks straight into the camera and growls 'groovy'.
Also the bit where his hand becomes possessed and starts smashing plates over his head while making laughing noises. It knocks him out then drags his body towards a meat cleaver on the floor. Just as he reaches it he wakes up and quickly chops his hand off and with real delight shouts 'HA! WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?' Then he puts a bucket over the hand and weighs it down with books and the top book is 'A farewell to arms' by Earnest Hemingway.
Genius.

Does Sharknado count?
That being said, as a nipper, Jaws left me somewhat anxious at the next family trip to Camber Sands!

The first Nightmare On Elmstreet
Fuck my old boots when his hand stretches the wall behind the bed. Not that it's left a mental scare or anything you understand.

phantasm. Is that the one with the little silverball flies around and sticks in peoples heads? Remember seeing the trailer on telly as a kid, scared the pants of me.
Good shout for the Thing and Texas, I only saw that for the first time last year, again scared the pants of me.
Was out in Germany and watched the Puppet Master, evil doll's that went around bumping people off, made all the scairer as it was in German. Anything with dolls and manaquins is scary. As I had run out of pants to be scared off, that film just scared the bollocks of me.

I love the darkly comic Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the remake though was predictably dire, overly gory and completely missing the point.

The film with the plants on the inca temple is called The Ruins.
I quite liked it as well when it was Sky a few years back.
Best horrors for me are the first Elm Street and The Fog. American Werewolf and The Howling are great plus Salems Lot.
Too hard to just name one.

Modern day Horrors liked the Descent and the Fourth Kind which I thought was very clever.... also the remake of last House on the Left was better than expected... also saw some mental film of some travellers in mexico that get captured by some plants on a inca temple... sounds crap but I quite enjoyed it
