It's the horror movie season. What is your favorite horror movie genre, and what do you consider to be the absolute best example of that horror genre?

I prefer Gothic horror movies (usually with vampires) and some of the very best examples would be Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu by Werner Herzog, Sleepy Hollow, and Hammer Studios' Dracula.

I'd also like to give a shout out to the most recent hidden gems from this genre that I enjoyed tremendously, The Haunted Palace (Based on The Case of Charles Dexter Ward by H. P. Lovecraft) and The Family of Vourdalak (The second segment from the Black Sabbath movie, based on a story from Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy).
