My personal faves. (Check notes/reviews as to why.) Some of the selections may seem peculiar given popular critic/general audience views. I personally hate most horror tropes/clichés, I generally dislike slasher flicks, I find most religious-based horror unscary/laughable, etc. My specific tastes are reflected in this list, which is ranked by general appreciation, emotional resonance, and how the depictions of horror impact me personally.
