I think some of my favorites for real 'chillers' were:
1. The 1931 film "Frankenstein". I think the B&W and filming technique gives it an extra spooky appeal.
2. My other favorite actually isn't a movie, but rather the very first episode of 'The Outer Limits' first aired on Sept. 16, 1963. Season 1, Episode 1, was entitled "The Galaxy Being". This episode was super spooky because it was all about some radio station engineer who is conducting some unsanctioned research using the station's transmitter when he inadvertently contacts an extra-terrestrial from Andromeda. He figures out how to communicate with the being, and one of his colleagues accidentally brings the being to Earth where they realize how different ET's are from humans. This show has haunted me for decades because I believe this is exactly how an extra-terrestrial encounter will occur (quite by accident). It's a great show, and really kicked off what would become one of my favorite TV programs, 'The Outer Limits'
Awesome stuff!

Awesome stuff!
