Most of what I would recommend has already been mentioned. The Richard Corben Creepy reprint is lovely- it was overseen by Jose Villarrubia, IIRC, and while I'm not really qualified to judge the reproduction looks great to me. It and the Wrightson reprint are super-cheap on Amazon, too, or at least they were the last time I looked. And while they're not straight horror per se, Corben's Hellboy stories (especially the Appalachian witch story "The Crooked Man") are fucking amazing.
For horror manga, Junji Ito absolutely- start with the short "The Enigma of Amigara Fault," which is included in the second volume of Gyo, and move on to Uzumaki (and the hilarious/brilliant Higuchinsky movie if you're so inclined) and Gyo itself from there. Gyo is half out of print in English, but if you're interested I can hook you up with a scan- just email me through ILX.
Hideshi Hino is another one of horror manga's big names and well worth your time, though he's a casualty of Dark Horse's manga reprints falling out of print in the US.
I can also recommend a recent-ish series called Fuan no Tane- it's an anthology series of very short pieces, often fragmentary or totally unresolved, and at its best it can be amazingly effective:

Oh yeah, forgot to mention: Fuan no Tane isn't licensed in the US and only available through fan-made translations. Again, if anyone's interested, just let me know and I'll send over a zip/CBR file.

Has anyone attempted a comprehensive bibliography of horror anthology comics? And/or pulp and magazine stories? And if anyone has made the attempt, can you let me know in which asylum they're currently residing?

Any good horror comics blogs out there? Preferably ones that link to/post free whole stories (old or new). I managed to read loads of Junji Ito online, and followed DC Pages of Fear for the short amount of time it ran, but I seem to be out of luck when searching for more stuff to sink my teeth into.

If you can figure out DC++, there's a comics room there where I went on a deep dive and found scans of pretty much every comics anthology title that I was aware of and many that I wasn't. That's part of my problem: I have thousands of these things without any quick & easy way of knowing what material they contain short of opening them up and 'flipping' through.

I spent hours scouring through DC anthologies to find a particular Lee Marrs story that had burned itself into my brain as a kid.

Old Lunch- There's a book called Ghastly Terror with a complete index of pre-code American horror comics (Four Color Fear might have that too, can't remember). There's also The Great Monster Magazines: A Critical Study Of The Black And White Publications Of The 1950s, 1960s And 1970s. I've never heard of a complete horror anthology listing though.
Emily- This blog is regularly updated and features mostly 50s comics but occasionally newer stuff. http://thehorrorsofitall.blogspot.com/
