Second The Innocents, and on a similar tip, more genteel though still creepy as:

(For the clickshy that's MR James's 'Whistle & I'll Come to You' with the great
Michael Hordern, and a nice helping of bottomless dread.) -

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this one yet but check out House on Haunted Hill if ya get the chance! Make sure you rent the 1959 original. Skip the remakeit's pretty much crap in my opinion.

since nobody mentioned it, night of the demon is quite good.. as is black sunday, haxan, and the japanese films kwaidan, and onibaba. to second some already mentioned masterpieces.. the innocents, THE HAUNTING, freaks, kill baby, kill, vampyr, night gallery.. all really great older horror films. i think probably the scariest two in my mind are the haunting, and bava's kill baby, kill.

Dead Of Night (1945)
British anthology horror movie. A group of people gathered in an old house and each tells the story of something strange that happened to them.
It's been years since I've seen this so I don't rememberr a lot of details.
I don't know if it's currently available on DVD but I shouldn't be too hard to find a used copy (or VHS). -

Burnt Offerings
Its from the '70s, but has similar chilling qualities.
The Haunting of Julia
is another atmospheric chiller from yesteryear.
"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush." -

I saw "Carnival of Souls" for first time tonight. Had heard of it before but never had chance to see it.
It first off reminded me of a basic creepy feeling like "Night of The Living Dead" (original version).
The other movie that came to mind while watching it was William Castle's "The Night Walker" (1964).
Starring Barbara Stanwyck. Screenplay by Robert Bloch (best known as author who wrote the novel "Psycho").
"The Night Walker" has the same type of overall creepy feeling about it. -

Taste Of Fear (1960) is a creepy British one.
The Queen Of Spades (1948), also British, eerily playing with Dostojewsky.
Gaslight (1944), atmospheric classic mystery.
Vampyr (1930), Danish eerie nightmare.
