Dawn of the Dead, both the original AND the remake, were great movies. One of the few where the remake was good, actually. They were different films with the same premise, of course, but both incredibly enjoyable.
To clear up what was said above "torture porn" and "slasher" movies aren't quite in the same category for me (of course, there are overlaps). I like SOME of what Roger Ebert refers to as the "dead teenager movie", which was inspired by Halloween (the original), an absolute classic. I do not consider Halloween "torture porn", not even close.
And yes, Nightmare on Elm Street 3:The Dream Warriors was the other good one from that series (New Nightmare I didn't buy as much....).
On a funny note, I love how Stephen King considers Walt Disney's Pinocchio a horror movie. I mean, that whole donkey sequence is massively friggin' terrifying (specifically, the Lampwick -> Lampdonkey sequence).
