I am a longtime horror fan who's searching for a good horror movies to watch. A movie like The Exorcist that actually made me feel scared. Something that's inherently scary, and not because of jump scares. I have watched many popular horror movies and movie series like the Anabelle, The Insidious (my favourite), The Conjuring (another favourite), The Babadook and more. I am looking for movies set in 90s, 70s or earlier, that is not talked about much.

If you like gothic rock there's a version with a type o negative soundtrack, they didn't make a new score but took songs from their first few studio albums that fits really well

Probably my favorite is the Rob Wright string quartet, new score and songs really fitting to a creepy vibe

There's a bunch more listed here https://musicbrainz.org/series/a3b6359b-20be-4b46-8781-f74c9a85e3ff

Faust (1926) is another old silent b&w movie with multiple alternate soundtracks
