Blood on Satan's Claw is great. Lots of witches and crazy Satanic unibrows. There's a cool scene where a recently-possesed woman comes down the stairs with a creepy drugged-out half-smile. Maybe some sort of 60's hippie reference? There's a lot of rebellious youth cult action in the film.
My copy looks like a public domain release from Paragon Video, but it says the movie was made by Cannon Films. It does feel very Hammer/Amicus.
I just saw Quatermass and the Pit - good stuff, if a little slow at times. Will look for Quatermass Xperiment sometime.
I second Avenger's recommendation of the Wicker Man. I came home one night as a artifically-expanded-consciousness teenager and found it on the TV... what a mindblower. One of the most memorable endings ever. Legend has it that it's going to be remade. Bet they'll cast Freddie Prinze in the Christopher Lee role.
