Ha ha my pet subject.

Best horror movie ever is still the original Texas chainsaw massacre, Great sound design, truly nightmarish, bleachy cheap film stock really makes you feel the oppresive heat of a texan summer.

Original Ring put the hairs on the back of my neck up, proper spooky. The same goes for Audition, the wiggling bag, the severed feet, the cuteness of Miyuki Matsuda.

As for Zombie movies, 28 days later started strong then got all pants would have been much better as a Dr Who episode. Best of the bunch has to be Lucio Fulchi's Zombie (Zombie flesh eaters in UK) All the George Romero zombie flicks are fantasic.

If it is gore which floats your boat you can't beat the japanese Guinea Pig series Number 2 "Flower of flesh and blood" Is probably the best known and is even 20 years after it's release a special FX master piece.
Also worth a look is a german film called "Premutos: Lord of the living dead"
it's stupidly long 3 some hours but has a finale with a tank used to mash Zombies and has a body count clock at the end (139) if you are wondering.

If you want to dip your toes into old school horror check out "The Haunting" 1963 and "The Legend of hell house" 1973

For the hardcore gore/exploitation fan look up anything by director Herschell Gordon Lewis, the inventor of the gory horror movie.
