Newest movie in the OP is 1982 ... It sounds to me like the OP only likes a few movies he/she saw when young. I don't consider any movie a must-see so I'm probably going to make random suggestions.

Sleepy Hollow 1999 was a mystery/horror that was nominated for several Oscars and won Art Direction. I wouldn't consider it ultra-violent. I've watched it several times and enjoy it more each time. You need to take it as its own thing and not think about the short story.

A few other suggestions, A Quiet Place, Tremors, The Ring, The Others, Little Shop of Horror (remake), Cloverfield, Drag Me to Hell, Goosebumps, The Wolfman

Actually I saw most of them as an adult. All of my favorite horror movies were made before I was even born though. So nostalgia is hardly a factor.

Sleepy Hollow is a gorgeous movie with great atmosphere, but it’s got kind of a mediocre script. I don’t know if I’d ever watch it again.

The others that you and everyone else has mentioned just don’t appeal to me for some reason. A Quiet Place might be worth trying, I suppose.
