The Woman in Black (2012)
House of Usher (1960)
The Bat (1959)

A special mention goes to Dark Shadows (2012) and Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) as two modern old dark house films which have really stuck in my head and could well crack this top 10 in a few years time. Also the tv adaptation of Uncle Silas called The Dark Angel (1987) - old dark house brilliance with Peter O' Toole
If we stick TV shows in, Exorcism from the old Dead of Night Anthology show is excellent stuff. As is Someone at the Top of the Stairs from Thriller.

Great call with The Black Cat, a film which somehow escaped my attention when I was compiling my list(s). I haven't seen Oliver the Eighth, but will do my best to remedy that this month.

It scared the hell out of me as a kid and remains spooky and creepy to this day.

It'll probably seem really tame to you as a first time viewing in 2016, but back when i saw it as a kid it was terrifying. Laurel and Hardy, yet completely different to their normal comedy. The Inspector is a big fan as well i believe.

This next topic shouldn't be too hard to guess...

Films set on or around Halloween.

Outside of the obvious films I'm not sure I can remember that many films that are set at Halloween. I know there are plenty and I've no doubt I've seen plenty but they're not springing to mind. I just did some googling and it seems any horror film ever made was set at Halloween
