The Cell.

Visually stunning, and Vincent D'Onofrio plays evil/crazy like nobody else.

Its got a few weaknesses, but what horror movie doesn't.
 
+1 for The Changeling. Zero gore, classic horror.

Jacob's Ladder is pretty freaky too.

The Phantasm series is incredibly underrated. I might've missed like the 2nd one I think, but the first one is genuinely creepy, and then the later ones build on it, and they get both more fun but not quite over the top silly ridiculous to the point of ruining what was established, like most horror series.

seen out of context, it doesn't look like much.

watch the movie and that scene will creep you out.

*the ball belonged to his deceased daughter. he kept it in a box.

that is the nature of a psychological horror movie. no gore.
 
I really don't see what the fuss is with the Exorcist. I don't think they're anything special. The first one was downright laughable more than scary. I see people say that it had to experience it in its time, but there were plenty of other horror movies from that time that hold up and even got better.

Exorcist is the Rocky of horror movies. Overrated 70s movie that is just plain mediocre beyond some temporary significance yet somehow continues to be lauded despite its peers of the time outclassing it and that to be more and more apparent with time.
 
A number of Hitchcock's thrillers are great for around halloween time.

Also, completely not a horror at all, but a monster movie, young frankenstein is one of the very best of the best.

There will never be any way to explain it to you, if you weren't alive at the time obviously.

People for a large part weren't as accepting of a lot of things as they are today, which probably explains a lot about modern society really and how some other cultures in general react overall these days.

But that is going off on a tangent sorry.

A foreign film theme sounds good to me, if you haven't seen a lot of those in the past.

I really haven't seen anything I think of as scary these days, just finding anything interesting is unusual.

Things like Argento are pretty cool, check Suspiria out.
