Tough...but I have to go with George A. Romero though. Night Of The Living Dead really put Horror movies back on the map to me and paved the way for other independent film makers to be able to become successful.

John Carpenter.

realdealblues 05-30-2012 06:11 AM

Hardest one for me yet...personally I would love to vote Lucio because he doesn't get enough love. Alfred was one of the greatest directors of all time, but he was mostly a suspense/thriller director in my mind. So, since this is Horror directors I have to vote John Carpenter.

CaptainSpaulding 05-30-2012 06:13 AM

John Carpenter

Straker 05-30-2012 07:00 AM

Damn.... Carpenter has made a bunch of my favourite horror movies, but I think Hitchcock is the better director. I think I'm gonna even things up and vote for Hitchcock.

Well, Whale directed my favorite horror film...

Romero directed one really great movie, a couple of really good movies, a bunch of okay movies, and some kinda sucky movies...

Htchcock rarely failed, and at his best, was pure genius. His influence cannot be overestimated.

I'll have to vote for Sir Alfred.

CaptainSpaulding 05-31-2012 04:18 AM

George A. Romero

realdealblues 05-31-2012 05:11 AM

Whale directed my favorite movie as well...

Hitchcock was one of the greatest directors of all time...

But again as this is a "Horror Director's Tournament" I have to go...

George A. Romero!!!

neverending 05-31-2012 06:34 AM

Bah- Romero's been directing the same movie for the past 25 years. He's creatively bankrupt. Of the three choices, he's the worst director.


But then again... this IS HDC.

Straker 05-31-2012 06:58 AM

Hitchcock..... The reason I voted Argento over Romero in the previous round was basically for the reasons outlined above.
