Any particular decade or type? Tell us a horror film that you liked & it would be easier to suggest.

What Sonicflood said. Without know what you already have seen and like, it's impossible to answer the question. "Horror" is a very broad category.

In the Mouth of Madness was good. The orginal Evil Dead. The ring was pretty good also.

I didn't think The Ring was all that great. Ringu was an awesome movie, as was the original Nightmare on Elm Street, Poltergeist, and Evil Dead.

Dagon was a pretty good recent horror movie. It is based on a popular H. P. Lovecraft story, and done by Stuart Gordon of Re-animator fame.

It would be a pretty good blind-buy at its current price of $10.25 (DDD).

If you are into werewolves then check out Dog Soldiers. I just pre-ordered in on Ebay. I saw it last year (I think) on the SciFi channel and loved it so much I decided to buy it. It can be hard to find but is worth the effort.

That is my 2 cents..............
