I'm very impressed with the entries you guys have been adding, some great stuff there a lot of which I have seen (Demons, Quatermass and the Pit, Nightmare Castle, Plague of the Zombies, Atom Age Vampire) but also a ton of great names I've heard about but have yet to catch (Eyes Without a Face, Zombie, Twitch of the Death Nerve). There's a number of Japanese classics out there I've heard are amazing but have yet to see. Suspect someone will add a few of those. Here's my next entry:

58) The Mummy (1959): Hammer Studios take on the Mummy has long been a favourite of mine with Christopher Lee as Kharis and Peter Cushing as John Banning. Fantastic horror from the UK!

63) Naked Lunch (1991): This David Cronenberg adaptation of the seemingly unfilmable William S. Burroughs novel somehow translates to screen in an unsettling manner closer than one expects. While initially it seems incomprehensible and I'd guess is perhaps like something of a bizarre drug high, this delivers some downright weird and often more than a little unsettling thrills and chills particularly involving very sexualized giant bugs. IMDB lists three countries as being involved in this creation: Canada/UK/Japan although to me personally it has a certain Canadian feel and look to it.

RC, I was just about to add The Werewolf vs. the Vampire Woman myself  (actually watched it just last night) but hey kudos for beating me to it. Virtual karma to you sir.

67) Les Diaboliques (1955): The wife and mistress of a cruel hearted school headmaster plot to kill him but soon after they believe they've achieved their scheme, mysterious things begin to happen. While arguably borderline on some levels, this French movie has some great chilling moments!

70. Asylum (1972)
Good British horror with 4 vignettes.  Patrick Macnee, Herbert Lom, Peter Cushing, Charlotte Rampling, and other great stars appear.

72 Tras el cristal. Not strictly an horror but very very cruel.
