Horror Movies: Just the Essentials

Horror movies, but only the movies I personally have deemed to be the absolute essentials you must see if you like the genre. I don't claim it as definitive and there are certainly some missing classics I could not judge to include, but it's what it says on the tin. Sorted oldest to newest.
