[Request] Good Pre-CGI horror movies?

I just finished watching John Carpenter's 'The Thing.' and I've got a hankering for some decent(ly gore-filled.) pre-CGI (or atleast from within the period before *good* CGI.) horror/sci-fi movies.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I really enjoy seeing how special FX teams worked before the introduction of a slight over-reliance (Hello Star Wars Prequels.) upon CGI. Their creative solutions to how to make horror interesting (and sometimes believable.) are pretty cool in many instances.

I've seen most of the big 'franchise' horror series like Friday the 13th, Halloween etc so anything a little more obscure is great too.

I liked Tremors its not really that scary but it was really awesome

The original House on Haunted Hill with vincent price(i think?) is another personal favorite of mine.
My aunt likes Salems Lot also.

Dawn of the Dead is fucking awesome! Don't expect a scary horror movie, but there are tons of "OH NOOOO" moments. Really entertaining.

I agree with this. Dawn of the Dead is the most awesome zombie movie ever. It's more shocking than scaring but its really worth it.

Have you watched the classic called Braindead? If not, then you should watch that asap! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103873/ Although I think it is not scary at all but rather a hilarious movie (e.g. one zombie humping another).

I never watch scary movies by myself...honestly, I'm a pansy (except for Silent Hill...I love that movie's visuals enough so that I rewatch it occasionally).

I always watch them with friends, though. I'm like the stereotypical black woman in the audience...I can't stay quiet. I love it...so much fun to have the shit leave your rectum from getting scared so badly when you're with friends. (:
