I'm looking for a shit load of movies in this genre. Ones that are macabre and such. I recently rented Deep Red and have fallen in love with that type of horror. I own Suspiria. And I have a bunch of Argento flicks on my queue.
What other films or directors should I consider getting? Seriously, give me a shitload.

Ah, yes. Shitloads are available upon request. I'm not into this subgenre, but here are some titles you may want to seek out.
Torso
Don't Torture a Duckling
A Lizard in a Woman's Skin
Twitch of the Death Nerve
The Black Belly of the Tarantula
The Fifth Cord
Venus in Furs
The Bird With Crystal Plumage
Stagefright

I watched Seven Notes In Black (aka The Psychic) recently and that's another really good one.

Some of my favs and worth Serching for:
Phenomina(like a mix of deep red & suspiria)(Argento)
Next Victim(Martino) get uncut if you can
Torso(Martino)
The Case of the scorpions tail(Martino)
Short Night of the Glass Dolls(Lado)
Who Saw Her Die?(Lado)
the House With Laughing Windows(Alivai)
Don't Torture a Duckling(Fulci)
Hatchet for the Honeymoon(Mario Bava)
Blood and Black Lace(Mario Bava)
Twitch of the Death Nerve(Mario Bava)
Bird With Crystal Plumage(Argento)
Tenebre(Argento)
Opera(Argento)
Stagefright(Solavi)
That aught to keep you busy. Bava, Argento and Fulci are the three biggest names on here. also remember sometimes you can get the same titles under different names but usually they are cut.

For me Deep Red is maybe the best giallo by Argento and Blood And Black Lace the best giallo by Mario Bava.
Seven Bloody Orchids is a pretty entertaining giallo by Lenzi.
The Scorpion's Tail by Martino is pretty good,too and well written.

probably the best one ive seen is Bird With Crysal Plumage, Opera's pretty good
