They're still shitty...
Zombie by Joyce Carol Oates was pretty creepy--it's written as a journal of a serial killer, and I remember really enjoying it.

It's a short story, and everybody has probably read in school, but one that always sticks with me is Shirley Jackson's The Lottery. Actually, pretty much everything she has written is pretty amazing. My personal favorite is We Have Always Lived In The Castle. Not sure if I'd call it horror, but it's certainly haunting.

Finally, the non-fiction book Deviant: True Story of Ed Gein, the Original Psycho by Harold Schechter is fascinating, a little gross, creepy, and surprisingly, kind of sympathetic...

[edit] Oh, oh--forgot The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks (the Culture series guy). Disturbing stuff.
