Nice theme! I think #5 is The Fog and #2 is Darkness Falls.
I know a couple of the others, but I'm going to limit my guesses to two for now.

Number 4 is HYSTERICAL. This film used to play on HBO all the time in the 80's and I thought it was hilarious. I even own it on laserdisc! You're all doomed!

I love this movie so much. It’s wild, and so under seen and under appreciated.

I sense a theme here… hmmm… maybe the ocean… or New England… can't quite put my finger on it, I'll take phallic shaped buildings for $500, Alex.

Anyone seen Enys Men (2023)? Not actually a lighthouse movie, but has all the elements – solitude, the coast, weirdness. Lots of weirdness. So weird. I liked it.
This Funhouse was inspired by me accidentally watching Darkness Falls, Tower of Evil and Portrait of Jenny back to back. I couldn’t find a good shot of the lighthouse in Portrait of Jenny unfortunately but I guess though ghostly, it’s not a horror film anyway.
Another title that just missed the cut was LIGHTHOUSE (1999) (aka DEAD OF NIGHT here in the states) directed by Simon Hunter. Love the movie but I figured it was too obscure to include. BTW; back in the day Hunter was all set to film a screenplay by yours truly for his next project but after a year of trying to get the project off the ground the plug was pulled. Still sad and disappointed about that. Really had my hopes up as usual!
Anyway…
1 NEEDFUL THINGS good eye Matt Sunshine!
2 DARKNESS FALLS spot on SDC and kathryngrace!
3 TOWER OF EVIL love this movie too kathryngrace! So great and once rereleased as BEYOND THE FOG! Good eye Drew!
4 HYSTERICAL that was a tough one Dr. NIck!
5 THE FOG nice work SDC, Matt Sunshine
6 PAPERHOUSE another tough one! Excellent job kirbyreedloveshorror!
7 THINNER amazing Matt
8 JAWS mayor Vaughn! Yay Matt Sunshine and Drew Bludd!
9 THE DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS awesome Ghastly1! Didn’t think anyone would get this one!
1o LIGHTHOUSE slam dunk bdwilcox!
Chuckles72, really loved the look and aesthetic of ENYS MEN! A visual work of art! Kind of wish I understood the story but dig it anyway!
Drew Bludd, Itv seems like there should be a lighthouse in DEAD AND BURIED but don’t think there was one! Would love to have included that movie! It’s so great and so is the book by Chelsea Quinn Yarbo! Had a great time reading that one. It really caught the atmosphere!
