Dario argento's
Profondo rosso
(Deep red)
A masterpiece.
Even has subtext.
Am usually resistant to such analyses but some have suggested that it is also about the buried italian memory of fascism. And they may have a point.
May also change/finesse your possibly idealised impressions of italians and family - argento's family background was i think rather problematical.
Oh and it is seriously scary.
I know one of the turin locations. Had a weird feeling about the somewhat truncated square. Later learned that it had been the gestapo hq, which maybe accounted for its somewhat neglected appearance. There's a lot of recent history italians would rather not look at.
If i'm making it sound a bit heavy/impenetrable/pretentious it stars david hemmings.
First saw it in italy in 81, more recently on a great vid from my local library with 2 separate cuts.
English sountrack and subs available i stress
Trailer, without spoilers, unless you are very clever.
Even features a christmas tree.

Theatre of Blood - Vincent Price sending himself up and at his camp best
Vincent Price is fantastically camp in everything that I've ever seen him in.

As above, anything from one of Edgar Allan Poe's books if you want a good old fashioned horror, there are loads to choose from including:
