I think the horror movie(s) that played the most pivotal role is capturing my love for the genre are:
Friday the 13th Series - A hockey masked killer wielding a machete was f***ing scary when I was 14 years old drinking iced-coffee after 11pm.
Halloween - The blank canvas killer that is Michael Myers...A face that haunts you in your sleep.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Sheer brutality and the messed up nature of this movie still freaks me out.
Some other notable mentions...
The Hills Have Eyes
Psycho
The Shining
