NOTE: "Aliens" would top my list, but I really believe it's not quite "horror" enough to be on a horror list.

Basket Case
The Keep
The Hidden
Of Unknown Origin
Inferno
Prince of Darkness
Videodrome
Dead Ringers
Scanners
Nomads
I, Madman
The Changling
Ghost Story
The Dead Zone
Fright Night

Lair of the White Worm
Maximum Overdrive
The Serpent and the Rainbow
