What are the most beautiful horror movies you have seen? I, mean, in terms of horror films that are beautifully shot in your opinion.

For me, it would be:

Long Weekend (1978)
The Territory (1981)
Who Can Kill a Child? (1976)
The Dead (2010)
Duel (1971 TV Movie)
The Dead 2: India (2013)
The Reflecting Skin (1990)
The Grapes of Death (1978)
Tombs of the Blind Dead (1972)
And Soon the Darkness (1970)
Where Have All the People Gone (1974 TV Movie)
Race with the Devil (1975)

Tenebrae.

Might seem like a weird answer, considering it's Argento and there are a couple of other movies of his awash in beautiful cinematography and candy colored lighting that'd seem like the more obvious choices, but I really dig the sun-bleached look of the film. Beyond a couple of dark scenes, the movie is saturated in stark bright light, with lots of bland, earth tone interiors. I think I've read before that Argento wanted the film to look like a TV cop show and they pretty much nailed it. Not sure why I find it beautiful, really, since I can totally understand someone else finding it pretty drab and dull, but not me. I love the look of it. I think the shooting locations and the architecture of some of the houses in the film appeal to me as well. Such a neat movie oozing with style.

I get what you mean about the locations and architecture. Particularly the lesbian couple's house where you get a close up view of the exterior with the drawn out crane shot. I don't think you ever see the whole exterior in a single frame, but the way it's presented in the crane shot makes it seem like it has unique, interesting architecture.

I just ordered the Blu-ray of Who Can Kill a Child. I've never seen it and know little about it, so I'm glad to see it got on a list like this. I like movies that are visually pleasing.

I wish there was a Blu-ray of The Reflecting Skin.

The 1979 Dracula has a certain beauty to it, in a steampunky way.

Disturbing Behaviour (1998) is not particularly a great masterpiece of horror, but I think the opening credits are beautiful. It's hard to figure out what you're looking at, it seems like it could be someone exploring a surreal cave... like, a lantern-ish light surrounded by darkness, with occasional flashes of light. I think it is probably supposed to represent a student at the high school's point of view, as they are having the evil brain surgery done, to make him or her into a Stepford Student. But, before you know anything about that, it actually looks kind of beautiful.

Speaking of opening credits, Halloween 4 has a fantastic opening sequence of a rural town on Halloween, with spooky outdoor Halloween decorations in the wind. It's really spooky, and kind of beautiful at times.
