Not so much a horror movie, but the Charles Laughton version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is a fine old movie.
Laughton's portrayal of Quasimodo was pretty scary for a kid seeing it for the first time, even though he turned out to be a nice guy in the end.

I fell asleep last night with the 1925 version of Phantom of the Opera on TCM. Love seeing Lon Chaney in that role. Wish I hadn't fallen asleep in the 1st 20 minutes.

TCM will have a 48 hour marathon starting at 6 am on 10/30. It starts with a good one, The House on Haunted Hill. Set your DVR if you still have that

I remember many late Saturday nights watching Dr. Shock and Igor on Shock Theater. Channel 33 in Baton Rouge.

If you're willing to stretch your rules a little bit, Mario Bava's Black Sunday (1960) is Italian gothic horror, followed by The Girl Who Knew Too Much in 1963. These two films set pretty much every standard for the giallo films popular in Italy from the mid-60s through the mid-80s.

I watched Nosferatu also. Only the second silent film i’ve ever watched after Metropolis. I enjoyed it so much I think I’m gonna do Phantom of the Opera (1925) next. And I got most of the recs in here lined up

The story behind the Nosferatu film is interesting. Bram Stoker’s Dracula was written in the 1890s so when the film era began shortly after it was still under copyright. Unlike Frankenstein and these other stories that were already in public domain, Universal had to purchase the rights to make their official adaptation in 1931. The makers of Nosferatu did not acquire the rights and admit in the credits it is based on Dracula but I suppose they thought by changing the names they could get away with it. They did not, and the film was ordered destroyed. And yet it survived. Considering so many films from that era are unintentionally lost, this one was meant to be destroyed and yet it survived. It is the oldest Dracula adaptation in existence. My copy had a recent orchestra reproduction of the original score which I suppose was performed by a physical orchestra in house for whatever few theater screenings there were in the beginning

Include the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Silent movie that is an absolute classic of the genre. Brilliant.
Spoiler alert*********************Dennis Lehane completely ripped off its plot for Shutter Island.
