I think you should look up "The Cat Creature", it's from 1973, and is a pretty good made for tv creepy flick. Also, to a somewhat lesser degree, "Satan's Triangle" from 1975 is also pretty creepy, although mostly on account of the ending rather than the whole movie.

I have 2 movies

Secrets in the Walls (2011)
This was descent, it felt ab it stir of echoes, it could been pasted as 3rd the movie in that series!

possessed (2000)
Decent movie, for once it boy who get possessed and really enjoyed how the movie, how it connected to early flashback in the movie.

The women in Black - was much better then, none scary remake!

12 Days of Terror- a really good shark movie

I feel stupid for having forgotten it until now, but you should also give the made-for-TV flick Duel a try. Starring Dennis Weaver, written by Richard Matheson, directed by Stephen Spielberg.

Dead of Night was a pretty good anthology, the last segment was pretty creepy! worth the watch for sure!

Ms. Gore- Just thought of another good one starring Karen Black called "The Strange Possession of Mrs. Oliver"

Watched the Haunted this morning....not bad, it reminded me of a cross between Amityville and The Entity. But sadly, not quite as good as either one of those movies. It was nice seeing Jeffrey DeMunn (Dale) from Walking Dead when he was younger though!

The only ones i have seen are Salem's Lot and the Stand. I though Salem's lot was pretty impressive. I especially like the set design inside Marsten's house which created a great, ominous atmosphere. The Stand however was totally miscast, poorly directed and the script was poorly adapted from the novel. Just overall poor.
