For me Its The Thing, Prince of Darkness, Rec, Dust Devil and a whole load of others lol Those are a lot of good choices but Prince of Darkness really stands out to me. It isn't "scary" in the conventional sense but there is such an atmosphere of dread & unease, that I find it totally unnerving. One of Carpenter's greatest efforts. Exactly. Thats the same with me. The "Dreams" are so subtle and unnerving and the end is great. Although they did film a bit more which was in the trailer (but i think it was only for the trailer). Carpenter loves his end of the world stuff

Frankenhooker - A loose translation of Frankenstein with a scientist who accidentally kills his fiance with a lawnmower. He attempts to re-animate her but decides to make improvements...so he uses the best "parts" of a whole bunch of hookers. To attract the hookers....he invents a new drug called "super crack" that they can't resist - and then it makes them explode, leaving him free to take their body parts. Now, what's oddest here? It's actually quite a sweet movie with a fantastic central performance from James Lorinz. That was actually what surprised me most about it as well. It had so much.......heart

Prince Of Darkness is very underrated, the rumour is that Father Loomis is Dr Loomis identical twin brother?
My all time favourite horror is John Carpenters The Thing, one of a few films that still unerves me when i watch it & Halloween that opening reveal of a 6 yr old child stabbing his sister is quite horrific.
