I love Hammer horrors...to me, the world of Hammer is a cosy place, governed as it is by simple rules like 'if you want to get bitten by a vampire wear a skimpy nightie'. (A lot of horror's like that of course but somehow in Hammer it manages to be both predictable and entertaining.). And for some reason I get very amused by 18th century clothes and hairstyles which nevertheless look very 1960s/70s. My favourite is Vampire Circus.
I also like a lot of random old horror movies like The Corpse Vanishes (with Bela Lugosi) for its sheer ludicrousness.
Some other favourites of mine are Nosferatu, Ginger Snaps, Snow White:A Tale of Terror (I really like dark versions of faerie tales) and Sangre Eterna (a great soundtrack always helps!). But for actual scariness or horrificness I'd go for something like Audition (or even Requiem for a Dream which I don't think anyone would classify as horror) .
