Halloween problem... HELP
I had a problem this Halloween and I was wondering if anyone else experienced something similar? I have a bunch of friends that aren't dedicated horror fans (unlike myself) and aren't as open to dated, cheesy special effects and storylines. They're not particularly into slashers and would like to see something more in the "supernatural" genre. The biggest problem is that because I'm a horror-freak myself, I've played most of the best movies in my collection throughout the year so by the time Halloween rolled around... I was out of good ones to play.
I would really appreciate some help from serious horror fans that aren't just gonna tell me to play Saw for them. I'm looking for something more... in the supernatural, ghostly, creepy field but would appreciate a list of ANY movies that you guys found absolutely terrifying or bone-chillingly creepy. I'm open to all suggestions and would appreciate if no one judged each other's suggestions. Let's try to make this list as long as possible. I'm really curious to see what you guys come up with. I'm looking to build my collection up for next year. Thanks everyone!!!

I'll jump in...
If they're into Saw, why not show 'em CUBE which is a more sci-fi film, but similar in a lot of respects. If you're going for WEIRD try sitting through "tetsuo: iron man" The Blob, usually a crowd pleaser. I'd also try to pick up one called "crawlspace", interesting. Event Horizon - peeps are pretty much 50/50 on this scifi horror. I loved it personally. Original house of wax (there's actually a double pack out containing this film and the 1930's flick this one was based on) this is simply one of the best "classic" horror films I've ever seen. UZUMAKI - not all that many mainstream post-90's horror "enthusiasts" will have seen it, and it's really quite good. Jacobs Ladder? - this one's probably on your list anyways...

No doubt you've already seen them, but if it's been awhile they replay just as easily as if it was the first viewing: The Haunting (1963); Horror Of Dracula; The Wolf Man (1941); Night Of The Demon; Burn Witch Burn. And for sheer edge of the seat suspense there's always North By Northwest (not horror or supernatural but who cares?).:)

on the supernatural/creepy front - i'd say:
exorcist III (not to be confused with awful ex II) the orphanage picnic at hanging rock
