oooh I am definitely adding some new titles to my own to-watch list after reading this thread!
for my own recommendations:
I 2nd creaturefeature's rec of
The Ritual! the building suspense in this was fantastic, & the creature design is SO unique/unnerving--ever since I saw this film, I've actually kind of wanted to get a figurine of the creature to lurk sinisterly on my shelf, lol
a more classic rec would be
Ginger Snaps, which is about female teenage werewolves--plenty of blood & gore, but very campy as well
(if you've not seen it before, this one is actually a trilogy--although I would only recommend the first 2, as the 3rd film is Very Bad, lol)
another classic is
Black Christmas, which is a really great 70s slasher (& actually one of the first of the genre!). despite being a slasher, the gore is actually pretty tame in this one--but it's still a fantastic watch & plenty scary. the writing/characterization in this one is pretty great as well.
(a last, non-horror spooky rec is
Only Lovers Left Alive, which is essentially an art film starring Tilda Swinton & Tom Hiddleston as a world-weary vampire couple. the music & set design is very moody, & I personally enjoy having this one on as festive October background
