6. i drink your blood (1970)
7. cat people (1942)
8. blood feast (1963)
9. the beyond (1981)
i think maybe i should include at least one somewhat recent film, seeing as how the most recent one i have included so far came out in 1987.

You know what's shameful? You've recommended ALL of those to me... And I have not seen a single one... :o

I would
not recommend Creep. I thought that it was over-reaching and absolutely ridiculous. There's a point where horror moves need to
enable you to suspend your disbelief, but Creep did no such thing. It's trying to be Hills Have Eyes... In the sewers.
...
I think that House of a Thousand Corpses would really compliment your list. As it was mentioned before, it screams Halloween and it's incredibly well-done. A wonderful homage to films that came before...
I think it might be fun to do an
Old Meets New theme (with House of a Thousand Corpses)... Couple it with the Wizard of Gore remake (to compliment Blood Feast) and throw in Feast, too (also to compliment Blood Feast and From Beyond). Audition or Gozu will compliment Onibaba nicely (or maybe shake up the full-length movie theme by throwing in Three... Extremes as a tasting of New Asian Horror). I know that May is a favorite of yours... I think that it's a necessity for any horror movie marathon, but your list seems to entail monsters, ghosts, and the supernatural; I'm not sure if May would fit in.
Two of my absolute favorite modern horror films are Ils and Inside (if you wanted to deviate from your current themes and meander into Home Invasion)... If you wanted to do low budget, maybe throw in Mulberry Street (add more Monsters to your list) or Crazy Eights for a nice little low-budget ghost flick.
Ooooo. Session 9! How 'bout it??
What about zombies??? Throw in Zombie II and 28 Weeks Later - It would be nice little contrast.
Let me know what the final list is.
