Anyone have any suggestions for a guy who's barely got his feet wet?
Note: No need to be timid, anything is okay, :)

Shutter (2004), A Tale of Two Sisters (2003), Rec (2007), The Orphanage (2007), Battle Royale (2000) are some good foreign language horror films. I actually consider the first two to be two of the scariest films I have ever seen.
Lucio Fulci is really good if you like surrealist non-linear Italian stuff. I really enjoy his films. Some good ones are Zombie 2, The Beyond (my personal favorite so far), House by the Cematary. I heard City of the Living Dead was good.
Some good B-Movies include Killer Klowns From Outer Space (1988), Croczilla (Okay not really good, but it's stupidely hilarious), Grindhouse (it is made line two B-movies and is quite excellent, my favorite of the two films is Death Proof), Rumpelstiltskin (1990s film) (not a masterpiece, but I liked it) and The Cat People (1942).
Some good slashers, Sleepaway Camp (1983), Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) (one of my favorite slashers), April Fool's Day (1986), Prom Night (1980)
Psychological Thrillers- The Ugly, Cube, Jacobs Ladder (1990), Peeping Tom (1960).
Vampires- From Dusk Till Dawn, Near Dark, Interview with the Vampire
Werewolfs- Ginger Snaps, The Howling (my favorite werewolf movie)
Supernatural- The Haunting (1963) (surprisingly scary despite age), Rosemary's Baby (1968), House of Usher (1960) (this film also creeped me out), The Devil Inside (2012)(alot of people hate it, but I really enjoyed it), Wishmaster (1997), The Guardian (1990)
Hopefully, I was able to reccomend some films you have not seen.
