I feel there are classics, in most era's. Nosferatu, Cabinet of Dr. Calgari are some of the earliest examples. Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, The Invisible Man all James Whale classics, (The Old Dark House too) Vampyr, Dracula, The Mummy etc...When you say "classics" this is what I think of. However there are more modern classics, like the double feature parodies of the 50's, I Was a Teenage Werewolf, The Wasp Woman, and other classics like The Blob. Many of the Hammer and Roger Corman films, i.e...Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, and Peter Cushing from the late 50's thru early 70's. Some of the more modern classics include The Omen, The Shinning, Friday the 13th, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and yes Night of the Living Dead.
The title, (Classic's) can be a very broad term, (for me at least). Some of the younger members should watch some of the older movies, compare them to more modern films, and see how many of today's Directors have been influenced by some of these films. I'm rambling so I'll shut up now...

"The Bad Seed"
If horror movies need to include evil, then you can't get much more evil than a little girl named Rhoda in "The Bad Seed".

The Mother's acting was so dramatic, and she knew something was up but did not want to admit it...great movie.
I heard they might be doing a re-make?

Yes, movieman!
It's Eli Roth, maker of Cabin Fever... It could use a remake, but with only some tweaks.... But the things he says sound perfectly disastrous, though! He says flat out, quoted as saying; he wants to "bastardize and exploit it..."! He has high hopes, wanting to make her the next horror icon (she already is...!) but "like Chucky", he says! Uchh! Anyways, the worst thing he says is that he wants her to be modernized, like being a fan of -- get this -- "N'Sync"!! Ouch! Rhoda wouldn't give a rat's ass about N'Sync!! Oy oy oy! Rhoda doesn't play with the other girls... that's sort of the whole point... but, oh well, typical! LOL! They've tried to reamke it a couple times, I haven't seen either one, but remember "The Good Son"? I never saw that, either, but it went quoted a lot, there for a while, I remember when that was floating around for a while!

Yeah, movieman, the mother's acting is pretty overdramatic, but Rhoda's is --
Dead On. :P She'd make a great secret character in a game like GoldenEye! Neville, can you imagine a little eight year old girl in pigtails and a dress running around with two RCP-90s versus Jaws? He'd be looking for her, she'd be nailing everybody!

Oh, and I would add Hellraiser on the modern classic list...

I say leave it alone, I'm pretty much against remake's, but they are very popular nowadays. They could expand on the little girls part, by being a little more detailed on her reasoning for each victim. A little more graphic/gory in the murder scenes too. I think they could portray the Mom as one of those suburban Soccer mom's, running around in the minivan keeping up appearances with the neighbors, perfect house, perfect Husband, perfect family, that sort of thing, denial,, denial, denial..! I think the film was very progressive for the era, (50's) when most films were much more subdued.
