I watched a little gem of a movie last night on Showtime called "HP Lovecraft's Necronomicon: Book of the Dead" It was magnificent. Just the right amount of over the top special effects and gore, just the right amount of over-acting, just what I wanted out of a Halloween-prep movie. I highly suggest you check it out. I am in love with it and I require it on DVD instantly.
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. His hair was perfect.

"Halloween" of course probably reminds me most of Halloween.
But as far as favorite overall horror movie... that would be too hard to narrow to just one. So I guess a top 5 would be in order here (actually in no particular order:
1) Friday the 13th pt. 3
My parents took me to the theater, for some strange reason, to see this in 3D. Glasses and everything. I'm 31 now, so that had to put me at 8 or 9.
2) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original)
Only movie on this list that I don't own on DVD. Just as I was prepared to buy the "collector's edition" last year, I heard about the "ultimate edition", or whatever it's called, due out this month. Sure enough it was released a couple weeks ago. I'm picking it up this weekend.
3) Halloween
What more can I say?
4) Night of the Living Dead
Again, little to say. The film that basicly started horror.
5) The Shining
Narrowly edges out some others, mainly because of ol Jack. I loved his performance. It basicly made the movie what it became, since the film version was much different that King's original novel.
Honorable mentions:
The Exorcist
Halloween 2
F13th pt 1
Evil Dead
Sleepaway Camp
Nightmare on Elm Street
Poltergeist
The Fog (original)
A few modern flicks that I really enjoyed:
Saw
The Hills Have Eyes (remake)
Scream
The Ring
The Devils Rejects
Tha Blair Witch Project
