original TCM for me. 
I was disappointed with 'Cemetary Man' as a blind buy aftre the DDD sale earlier in the year (prepares to take the abuse
)
After seeing the trailers I'll be blind buying 'The Descent'

Not sure it qualifies as horror, but The Devil's Backbone is my pick.
I'm surprised by all of the support for The Descent. I thought it was terrible, due in no small part to...
I do like the original ending much better than the truncated American one, though.

And mine would be Dead & Breakfast, I only have something like 4 blind buy horrors and 2 of them suck ass.

But, it wouldn't be horror if it didn't have inconsistencies.
Speaking of which, my worst blind buy was the Korean film Nightmare. I have never seen security cameras with such good eyes for shot composition and editing.

Lemora, A Child's Tale of the Supernatural

and most recently:
Head Trauma
I would highly recommend all of the above to anyone who likes offbeat, intelligent horror films.

I think you'll like The Descent though....
I'm a huge horror fan, so haven't done a lot of completely blind buys, but 2 outstanding ones for me were A Tale of Two Sisters and High Tension.

The best:
Audition
The worst:
I am really disappoint with Dario Argento's more recent movies. (what happend to him?)
I can't even finish "card player" and "Trauma" without pushing "fast-forward".
needless to say, I had them trade-in/sell immediately. I won't "blind buy" his new movie again.
Either the best/worset:
blind buy "Tetseo-Iron Man"... it is so disgusting that I have to stop the movie half way (later on watch again and finished it.) I trade-in afterward but have been considering watch again..

Besides, the already mentioned Audition and Descent I have to add Shutter. It's good for repeated viewing with others.
