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.

Sounds like you have specific tastes, if you can narrow it down then you might find more things you enjoy. My wife only likes horror comedies like Shaun of the Dead or Zombieland. My closest friend only likes creepy horror, ghosts or classic monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, etc.; no gore or extreme situations.
