The original "Psycho" stands out for me, if I'm allowed to lump psychological drama in with spook films (which is where I think they should be classed).
Nobody outdoes Hitchcock, although I see M. Night Shyamalan giving him a good run for his money someday. Great photographic composition, that guy, and he knows how to build tension and keep it high.
Another old favorite is "Something Wicked This Way Comes"...
