Okay so I already have Creepshow, Creepshow 2, Tales from the Crypt, Tales from the Darkside, Vault of Horror, Body Bags, and the Twilight Zone movie. I'm looking for other movies like these that feature multiple short horror stories.

I actually remember seeing one a very long time ago and I can't seem to remember anything but one story in it. It was an old movie, probably from the 60s or 70s, and it was about a little shop that sold antiques or something. Each customer that came in and bought something had a story that revolved around them. The one i can recall was about a guy who invited hookers over to his apartment and murdered them because he was either a vampire or a cannibal. Sounds like Fright Night, I know, but I also have that movie so I know that's not it.

If anyone can help me, that'd be great. Thanks in advance.

The story you remember is from another Amicus film called From Beyond The Grave. That segment featured David Warner as a man who is forced to kill by an evil spirit haunting a mirror that he'd purchased in Peter Cushing's antique shop. Here's a link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070078/

Dr. Terror's House of Horrors was another fairly good Amicus film done in the same format: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059125/

Asylum: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068230/, also by Amicus, is good as well.

Of all the multi-story format films that Amicus made, I'd say I like From Beyond the Grave the best. Torture Garden was, for me, somewhat of a dud.

...Oops! I forgot,...Amicus also did The Monster Club as well: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081178/

I loved - From Beyond the Grave as well.
The mirror segment put chills up my spine as a kid and still does it now.

Yes, the mirror segment (titled The Gate Crasher), and The Door segment featuring Lesley-Anne Down, are my favorites of From Beyond The Grave.

Any film with the late great Peter Cushing and Sir Christopher Lee would most likely be of interest as well.

An early member of the subgenre is Dead of Night.

Dead of Night was the finest of all of them and one of the very first omnibus films. British through and through. Another very good ealier one was Orson Welles, Three Cases of Murder.

Dead of night is a much, much better movie than all the rest

Cat People (1942) and Night of the Demon (1957) are unmissable atmospheric classics too.

Trilogy of Terror, Trilogy of Terror II, and From A Whisper to A Scream are a few I enjoy that I don't think have mentioned yet.

I've been waiting for you, Ben.

Another good one is Seizure (1974) with the late Jonathan Frid (Barnabas Collins from the original series Dark Shadows) and directed by Oliver Stone.
