What are the best horror anthologies either contemporary or older? Looking for stuff by multiple authors, not necessarily short story collections of single authors

I own this and can confirm it's good. Oliver Onions' "The Beckoning Fair One" is the highlight of this collection

On my shelf there is another book awkwardly titled "The Dracula Book of Great Vampire Stories". It was printed in 77 and smells funny.

When Border's/Waldenbooks was around they had an excellent collection of ghost stories in their leatherbound classics titled "Ghosts".

Ellen Datlow does a yearly best-of anthology of her favourite horror fiction. She has a decent enough taste, worth checking out.

I recommend The Weird, edited by Jeff Vandemeer. The thing is huge and has well over a hundred stories of generally great quality from early 1900s to present day.
