While not a horror movie I would have to give honorable mention to Irreversible.

Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare

Memorable, although not exactly in a good way.

sadly the head on shot with the machete firmly imbedded in his head was deleted (for the film's R-rating) yet featured in Fangoria at the time of the film's release.

I happened to watch The Manson Family (unrated version) tonight and whoah! the violence and gore near the end of the film was exceedlingly explicit, the multiple stabbings and ultra vicious throat slitting made me sick.

Best decapitation scene ever - The Omen

A truck's emergency brake gives way, causing the truck to back down an alley with considerable speed. When something prevents the truck from going any further, the force causes a large pane of glass to come flying out of the back and across the alley where it neatly severs Jennings's head from his body. It was edited so well that by the time more squeamish viewers were expected to remove their hands from their eyes, the head is still rolling.

My first thought was of the ultimate scene... Tom Savini getting it in "Maniac"

When Michael stabs the guy through the chest and sticks him to the door, then looks at him in an odd way.

chrome bone clipper decapitation - Exorcist III
HELL YEAH!!! This may be a sacrilege, but Exorcist III freaked me out a lot more than the original Exorcist did.
