First horror movie i can think of is Critters.
"I rhyme with tyre - And cause pollution - I think you'll find - It's the best solution: What Am I?"
"And that's the essential problem with 'Planetary' right there. When Elijah Snow says, 'The world is a strange place'... he gets Dracula, Doc Savage and Godzilla... When we say it, we get The Captain Fire-Cock Rock 'n' Roll Spectacular."

Excellent movie, excellent choice. One of the best vampire movies as far as I'm concerned. Great cast, great director.
I'll also say I don't think this is obscure to horror movie fans but to most people, there's a movie called Let the Right One In that is another amazing vampire movie. There was an american re-make I've never seen but whatever the original one was (came out in 2008) is excellent.
On that...
A few films from the thread(The Hitcher/Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer/Let The Right One In) seem like they are right on the line where the general public might be aware of them.
Ravenous feels like it's right where the "Obscure" line starts.
As for Let The Right One In, I wouldn't even bother with the "Horror" sub-category. It is a pretty brilliant film, bar none.
Scarecrows(1988)- a horror flick dealing with a group of robbers who pulled off a heist involving military payroll. They make their escape by hijacking a plane. But when things are looking like they're free and clear, one of the band of robbers steals the booty by parachuting out of the plane. He lands around an abandoned farm, which is dotted with scarecrows all over the place. He tries to flee when his compatriots land and come after him, but is killed by on the scarecrows. And his former partners in crime find themselves in dire straits soon after.
Haha! A friend of mine's been somewhat obsessed with Scarecrows since he watched it 30 years ago.
5 Million Years to Earth. Otherwise known as Quartermass and the Pit. Excellent 3rd act with a lot of collateral damage in the London subway. Probably more sci-fi, I feel it tows the line, not the gore of others but a guy does melt to death. Telekinetic alien locusts baby!
Beefing up the old home security, huh?You bet yer ass.
