It's hard to match this film but I would mention Suspiria, The Shining and maybe Session 9. Someone mentioned City of the Dead which is creepy too but not as creepy as COS.
The Planet of the Vampires is also worth mentioning. -

An outstanding, and much sought after for many years, little horror film just finally came to DVD called
Don't Be Afraid of the Dark
.
It was originally a TV movie that came on back in 1973 and after watching it for the first time in decades the other night I can tell you first hand that it's still crazy creepy!
Low budget, moody, atmospheric and nightmarish.
You should also check out
The Changeling
with George C. Scott, one of the all time great ghost stories.
If you expect the unexpected doesn't the unexpected then become the expected? -

Good call on Mark Of The Vampire! I understand the connection right away and know what you mean. One of my favorite sequences is the person playing the organ while the female vampire floats down. Very effective!

To me "The House of Seven Corpses" has a similair creepiness! It is very different movie and is not really a very well writtened film, but its creepiness of Seven Corpses was alway fun to watch, especially the introduction! So was many of the other low-budget schockley horror films of the 70's!

The exceptionally well crafted and sustained spooky ooga-booga gloom-doom atmosphere is what makes this film one of the great atmospheric horror gems from the early 1960's. Messiah of Evil also has a similarly creepy and disquieting mood to it.

Great thread! A movie that comes to my mind is Vincent Price's Masque of the Red Death. I was in my 40's in a hotel while on business travel, and this movie came on. I had ignored it in the past but decided to watch it and got TOTALLY creeped out! It was creepy but also disturbing, and I wished I had not watched it by myself in an unfamiliar place. I had serious trouble sleeping that night
