Not a very popular choice here, I know, but I like and would suggest MOTHER'S DAY (1980).

The Fog
Burnt Offerings
The Entity.
These movies don't rely on blood but more on mood and eeriness.

I believe we are wandering into the "obvious" I.E. mainstream.

I tend to go or psychological terror and understated horror movies. I have a distinct aversion to gorefests. I'd rather be disturbed than pelted with blood. IMO, the viewer's fertile imagination is one of the best special FX a filmmaker has.
Japanese horror fans should check out Onibaba.
Vampyr (Dreyer)
Faust (Murnau)
Nosferatu
Bride of Frankenstein
The Old Dark House
The Haunting
The Wicker Man
The Innocents
Onibaba (The Witch)
Repulsion
Rosemary's Baby
The Shining
Hour of the Wolf (Vargtimmen)
Cat People (original)
Videodrome
The Wicker Man
The Devil's Backbone
The Haunting (original)
The Day The Earth Caught Fire
Don't Look Now
The Audition

one i really enjoyed from a couple years back was Below- basically a ghost story that takes place on a sub during WWII. the dvd has the benefit of having a truly excellant a/v transfer.
i've also been dipping my toes into some vintage Euro horror recently and have really enjoyed Mario Bavas Black Sunday and Castle of Blood.
the latter in particular was a nice surprise, with its themes of doomed lovers and intractable fate.

Forget the transer, that movie scared the crap out of me. It was one of those movies where you expect something to happen and it doesn't only for something else to happen seconds later.
Ginger Snaps, Session 9 and Dog Soldier are what I like, but it seems people already mentioned it.

Paperhouse - Directed by Bernard Rose four years before Candyman (which is also swell), this is a strange and wonderful horror/fantasy/dark fairy tale. It's spooky and odd and unlike anything else I've ever seen, really. Totally worth the effort it takes to find it.
By the way, does anyone know who owns the DVD rights to this title? Something like Anchor Bay would be wise to pick it up...

Whenever anyone asks for "good horror" I instinctively say "Session 9" and by other posts in this thread this seems to be a prevalent thing. I daresay Session 9 is one of the best and scariest recent films.
May is also good. But not scary at all.

I enjoyed Deathwatch a lot, too.
There's a Japanese film called The Hypnotist that really creeped me out -- I had to turn it off the first time I tried to watch it. Something about the atmosphere in the first 15 - 20 minutes of the film was really unsettling to me. Ultimately, when I got through it, it turned a bit over-the-top and silly, though.
