1979's "PHANTASM" ...in addition to surrealism, sudden shocks, and one extremely groundbreaking scene of graphic violence, this movie was also intensely strong on atmosphere. As a horror movie, I think of it as a nine-course meal, with a different kind of spooky fun every moment.
"Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things" (1972) is also really strong on brooding, dreadful atmosphere!
