i started a thread kind of like this a while ago, and got some pretty good responses:

maybe something by david lynch, too. inland empire, lost highway, eraserhead, and twin peaks: firewalk with me.

Oh, Audition, for sure. Fucking horrifying. The Exorcist did it for me, too.

Jack Ketchum's The Girl Next Door



It's not really horror, but it did have a disturbing effect on me!

The only movie to have a horrifying, lasting impression on me was The Exorcist. Linda Blair in that make-up still haunts me in my dreams to this day.
