Best Horror Movies That Aren't Usually Included in 'The Staples'

A list of the best horror movies that aren't usually included in the staples of the genre. This means that none of the biggest slashers, no Psycho, no Shining, and no modern hits like The Conjuring either, will be included. Of course, it's entirely based on my perception of what counts as a horror staple, and you may or may not agree with some of the movies that got excluded as a staple, or some of the ones that got in for not being a staple. The idea is to create a list of 100 horror movies without taking up slots with the usual movies like Halloween, Scream, Rosemary's Baby and others. This won't be a list of movies you've not heard of either, it will just exclude the most obvious ones.
