I know I'm 46 years late to this, but after a scarring experience with the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney World when I was 4, I found myself terrified of basically everything until like -- last year. Because of this, I'm only just now beginning to dive head-first into the horror genre and enjoy it. I've watched a bunch, but this takes the cake so far (honorable mentions to The Shining and another De Palma film Phantom of the Paradise).

Also maybe Poltergeist (which I saw as a kid).
Let the right one in and Girl walks home alone at night could be good
I’m basically naming horror-adjacent movies I’ve seen…

I’m trying to become well-versed in horror movies, so I finally watched psycho. Big, big fan.
I love that you can see its age, from the poorly dubbed introduction of Norman Bates, to Sam swerving the wheel as he’s driving straight, to the incredibly deep groove in Mrs. Norman’s bed. That along with its famous plot gave me immense joy.

which I had shared with friends last October and I thought I saved it somewhere in my Notes app but it’s lost in the ether :( I’m a huge horror fan and former obsessive. I’ll recommend just a few:
Tod Browning’s Freaks (1932) — watched this on TCM the morning before my like tenth birthday party and it rocked my world forever… sad and disturbing
The Others (2001) — gorgeous gothic atmospheric soooo creepy and Nicole Kidman is a vision
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992) — details the last days of a troubled beautiful teenage girl named Laura Palmer… heartbreaking examination of traumatic cycles and evil forces. I would recommend that you watch the show first though 🤓
Barbarian (2022) — this goes against like everything you said you wanted but I have to put it on here because it’s so scary and expertly paced and filled me with dread but it’s also hilarious! It has to be my favorite recently released horror movie
