Here are some older 80s horror movies -- The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988), The Believers (1987) (not the best but not bad), Prince of Darkness, Spellbinder, Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983), Silver Bullet (1985), The Lost Boys (1987), Fright Night (1985), The Fog (1980), The Hitcher (1986), House (1986), The Fly (1986), Hellraiser (1987), An American Werewolf in London (1981), The Thing (1982), Wolfen (1981), Lifeforce (1985), and Altered States (1980).
Piggybacking to promote one of my old favorites: Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971). Has a nice balance between the mc being unhinged and supernatural trickery.
And I want to throw in In the Mouth of Madness, because everythign Thrwaway mentioned is basically my Halloween faves list, minus that one. If you like Lovecraft, you'll love ItMoM.
Oh, and Prince of Darkness is worth it just for to see what Alice Cooper does to the nerd from Riptide.
I haven't really been watching much horror lately but i usually use spookyrice/foundflix videos for ideas and if it looks good at a glance i'll watch it
That said, the foundflix guy definitely has some biases although he's not as outright as deadmeat james talking about fucking george floyd
As far as religious horror goes though, borderlands/final prayer takes place in a church, i thought it was kind of boring paranormal movie but the final segment is worth watching the movie for.
Terrified was fantastic, its spanish so you have to read subtitles, its getting an american version but i don't trust them with it
Countdown is a really dumb idea executed pretty decently.
The hatchet franchise are good slasher flicks.
Black coat's daughter isn't bad, might fall into religious, less about the faith and more good versus evil though
Taking of deborah logan is pretty good
The final girls is fantastic but its pretty much a dark comedy
But whatever you do don't ever watch savageland, that movie is dogshit that still gets glowing praise probably because its blatant propaganda that has maybe one decent scary moment and the rest is a bunch of people blaming a single illegal immigrant for somehow magically wiping out a town even though its fucking impossible.
One of my favorite horror movies is The Descent. Even though it's an all female cast, it's not woke, and really well done. Be sure to watch the director's cut, because it has a better ending. I'd go into detail, but it'd spoil it.
Jacob's Ladder (if you don't interpret the events as an acid trip) [the 1990 version, fuck remakes] and Rosemary's Baby are the only religious horror movies that come to mind.

Religious look to oldschool Italian films, for general horror go to Asia.
America is awful at horror outside of a brief but shining few years. The foreigners do it better.
France has some decent ones too, go watch Irreversible and tell me that isn't the scariest fucking movie you have ever seen.
Angel Heart

Just movies or tv or are you including books/comics?
I find anything produced by Scientology for its members to be pretty fucking terrifying.
Lovecraft.
My favorite horror movie is Below (2002), and it's set on a WWII submarine.
The claustrophobia is a big factor.
Horrorbabble does audio books of horror books and stories, many from before the time of woke:

Only listened to one so far (A Case of Eavesdropping by Algernon Blackwood) but the quality of the narration is really good.
Jacob's Ladder (if you don't interpret the events as an acid trip) [the 1990 version, fuck remakes] and Rosemary's Baby are the only religious horror movies that come to mind.
Avoid Amulet (2020) like the plague. Had so much potential but then just devolves into standard female power fantasies.
Look into asian (Korean/Japanese) horror.
There's some decent stuff that gets shown on RLM's Best of the Worst.
