Culled from a 2014 documentary film streaming on the tubi channel: "Fifty lesser-known horror flicks hailed as absolute must-sees are given the spotlight with commentary from experts in a countdown like no other."
The list is definitely dated and you probably have seen all or most of these films, but some of them are worth watching again and again.

Fun/Campy/Trash/Cult/Low Budget - Horror/Sci-fi/Fantasy/Mystery Movies
Movies within the genre of horror, sci fi, fantasy or mystery.
Mostly low budget or at least not very well known.
Not all of them are necessarily good, but interesting in their own way if you approach with the right mindset.
