Typically watch them solo, although I used to force a buddy to watch them with me.  That lasted until we saw Night Patrol, at which point he suddenly became much more hesitant to watch any movies I picked out. 

Recently I've been getting together with a group a friends for cigars and scotch on the balcony followed by a movie.  So far they've brought all the Dirty Harry flicks and the first few RoboCops, and I've shown Pink Flamingos and Tetsuo: The Iron Man.  Coming up will be Deathrace 2000 and maybe some Dagon.

Thankfully, my wife and daughter both enjoy sci-fi/horror and cult/b-movies. My daughter has been watching Plan 9 from Outer Space since she was a toddler. There's usually some random weeknight where will watch a double feature with popcorn and junk food. Besides Ed Wood's masterpiece, other family favorites include: 

King of the Zombies (1941)
The Screaming Skull (1958)
Pee Wee's Big Adventure (1985)
Carnival of Souls (1962)
Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988)
The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra (2001)
Fearless Vampire Killers (1966)
Creepshow (1982)
Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Short Circuit (1986)
Jail Bait (1954)
The NeverEnding Story (1984)
Return of the Living Dead 1 & 2 (1985-1988)

She is also particularly fond of Woody Allen films. Not bad for a 12 yr old.
When my daughter stays with grandma, friends might come over for beer and watch John Hughes or John Waters, depending on our mood.
