Best (Horror) Blind Buy?

Far and away, the 2-disc "The Descent" from the UK is my best blind horror buy to date. I was just in awe and it stays with me to this day. I have the new edition of "Black Christmas" waiting in the wings and i await watching it with eager anticipation, but TD really shook me.

So what is your best horror blind buy DVD as I want to get some ideas of what is missing in my collection?

After perusing your collection, I gotta go with Session 9.

Honorable mention: Exorcist III

The Descent for me as well. There's also this movie called My Little Eye that was surprisingly good. Not great, but a hell of a lot better than I expected.

definitley has to be either The Descent or Audition, both top notch films and ones I bought on a punt. The Innocents would be next in line but I'd read a lot about that and was fairly confident to likin it to some extent.
