I think this is the most unusual Best list I've ever seen. I see you really like what I might call 'the nightmare/chaos' films (Beyond, Suspiria, Inferno) where things sometimes don't make sense.

Day 1 - Vampires: Nosferatu - Definitely a movie that every horror viewer should see at some point. I think it's so important for the genre.
Day 2 - Hitchcock: Psycho (Birds is a runner up)
Day 3 - Zombies: Night of the Living Dead (Zombie II is a runner up)
Day 4 - Demonic Possession: The Exorcist
Day 5 - Slashers: Halloween (Black Christmas is a runner up)
Day 6 - Haunted House/Monsters: Alien
Day 7 - Found Footage/Witch Craft: Blair Witch Project
That was really difficult - If I were going with Movies I Would Watch In The Next Seven Days, it would probably look like this - A mix of favorites/movies that I haven't seen in a while.
Cabin in the Woods (because this movie is infinitely rewatchable for me)
Inside (because it's been a LONG TIME since I've seen it)
The Descent (favorite of mine)
Evil Dead II (because, well, Evil Dead II)
Blair Witch Project (favorite)
Grave Encounters (because I've been wanting to rewatch it lately)
Ringu (because it's been a while and it's a damn good movie)

It is tough. I think you have a great list. All yours would be in my Top 10 except Blair. For me the Best films have impressed me every time I've seen them. So I don't count much for "landmark" films, many of which can be marginal when the pomp is removed. I wouldn't mind picking 7 from the same genre either.

The first 20 mins of When Stranger Calls is excellent. Interesting... I found out the first 20 mins comes directly from the short film The Sitter. The rest of Stranger I found rather boring. I'll have to see Dead Silence, it looks good, though it has some horrible reviews.
