Silver Bullet is one of my favorite's if it shows up on cable.
I love Silver Bullet. Anne of Green Gables ... Gary Busey ... Corey Haim in a hot-rod wheelchair ... Reverend Werewolf. What's not to love?

I liked the first season a lot. The second season failed to hold my attention.

Light-hearted horror fair:
GREMLINS (though you might want to save this one for Christmas)
AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON (still the best werewolf movie ever made)
GHOSTBUSTERS
SHAUN OF THE DEAD
YOUNG FRANKSTEIN
EIGHT-LEGGED FREAKS (I apologize to no one for loving this movie)
TREMORS
FRIGHT NIGHT (the original with Roddy McDowell)
Genuinely great scary movies:
THE EXORCIST
ROSEMARY'S BABY
THE WICKER MAN (the original Hammer flick)
THE SIXTH SENSE
CAT PEOPLE (the 1981 remake)
THE HOWLING (the second-best werewolf movie ever made)
HALLOWEEN
PSYCHO
THE HAUNTING (original 1960s version)
CARRIE
THE DEAD ZONE
STORM OF THE CENTURY (mini-series)
THE CONJURING (the sequels are mostly dreck, but this is a good movie)
THE MIST
ALIEN
I almost recommended THE SHINING. It is indeed a masterpiece of film-making, if a rather flat and uninteresting story. But you know what? As far as scares, I think Kubrick's EYES WIDE SHUT is actually a far more horrifying and disturbing movie.

You’ve named just about ALL of my favorite movies.
I’ll add (originals, not sequels or remakes):
The Ring
Amityville Horror
The Thing (actually the remake with Kurt Russell)
The Howling
Cujo
Pet Sematary
Christine
Oh boy, not particularly religious but the movies like the Exorcist and the Omen, just can't do. houses with evil spirits, ghosts...live alone, nope. I'd rather watch a teen slasher movie though they arent my favorite I guess I feel like I'd have a chance with a psycopathic human vs. some evil spirit. Maybe thats why I like vampire and werewolf movies, pretty sure they aren't real.
I don't understand why someone hasn't come out with a Hammer Films box set. I have a few on vhs, but now no vhs player. They really are the best of the not really scary classic B movies.
Funny because I can watch the older movies now, but not the new ghost stories. What they do now with the CGI and the demons and ghosts that contort themselves all kinds of ways. I can’t watch those.
There was one movie, can’t remember the name of it, where the ghost bent himself to where it was crawling like a spider and was chasing someone. The preview freaked me out.
I've always preferred horror movies (and thrillers). I even write horror & thriller screenplays (one is in production, and my agent is networking to sell the rest). I do watch more horror this time of year than at any other, unless I'm doing research on a new screenplay.
I like regular horror movies - no comedy should be involved, as I hate comedies - though exorcism & possession stories are my favorites, along with haunted houses, and psychopathic killers. It doesn't bother me to be alone as I watch a horror movie.
I have something unusual that I'm so excited about. It's a 1911 Italian silent movie--L'Inferno---based on Dante's Inferno--a campy take on hell. It's set to a cello score. Available on YouTube---that's about as scary as I want to get:
Although I've watched it countless times, I still find the original "Night of the Living Dead" to be pretty creepy. The grainy, high-contrast, black&white photography, combined with the almost constant voice-over of the radio and TV news announcers gives it a documentary feel, as though it was really happening and a guy with a camera just happened to be there to record it.
I know Mr C will most likely watch. He's a big fan of those scary types with pin head.
Me, I like the cutesy ones that start very early in the evening, ala Charlie Brown, The Munsters (old tv show). I've watched movies like the ones with Jamie Lee Curtis, Dracula and Frankenstein. Not sure what's on this year that I might watch TBD.
