I see a few response posts, but I'm going to avoid them until I post mine. I have a feeling if I see other peoples lists before I get my 15 up, it will totally confuse the issue for me.
That said, and in no particular order...
Psycho - Hitchcock at his most cynical and sadistic...well, besides Frenzy!
Nosferatu (1922)
Frankenstein (1931) - Still one of the most influential horror stories ever.
Audition - Every fan needs this J horror masterpiece.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) - The best Horror movie ever made, IMHO.
Suspiria - It's Argento's twisted Cinderella and It has to be on your shelf.
Halloween - I'm guessing this one makes EVERYONES list.
The Thing (1951)
Amer - Underrated, atmospheric and riveting from start to finish.
Phantasm
Black Sunday - Mario Bava is a genius. I wont hear any arguments! ;)
The Tenant - My favorite of Polanski's apartment horror trilogy
Night Of The Living Dead
Santa Sangre - Stunning. It delivers on every level a film can.
Phantom Of The Paradise - Sex, Faust, and Rock n Roll!
That was FAR from easy! Now, i'm off to see what others have posted.
