Alien is a 1979 science fiction horror film

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_(film)

I agree about Pans, it is more dark fantasy though it has horror elements. However it was on a list of top horror films when I googled.

A Quiet Place and Hereditary are both some of the best-rated horrors of all time despite what you may personally think about the monsters.

The VVitch, Cabin in the Woods, It, and Nightmare all definitely dont have humans as the big bad, the rest are mostly debatable.

Ill try to think of some more.

Pennywise is literally a clown, and Freddy Krueger is just a guy with knives on his fingers.

The VVitch is definitely just a human, or definitely just a goat, depending on how you want to look at it. Either way, both witches and Black Phillip are not new ideas, nor are they "monsters". Really fucking good movie, but there aren't any monsters in it.

Cabin in the Woods is a comedy horror and is closer to something like Slither, Arachnophobia, or Zombeavers than any horror movie. Great movie, but not because of the creature design.

I'd like to agree with you here but I cannot think of a single horror movie that features a "monster" of some type that doesn't immediately remove all tension when it's revealed.
The unknown is much, much scarier than any creature on the silver screen.

Not even going to bother with Godzilla or Predator, they're action movies and aren't meant to be scary. Jaws is a shark. Attack the Block is a pure comedy.

I'll give you The Thing. Even then it's a monster that relies on the unknown to create fear. It's scary because it could look like anything.
