Who Are The Best Horror Movie Directors?
 

Two Matches:

Carpenter vs. Craven

and

Romero vs. Fulci (you could make it a triple threat and add H.G. Lewis)


Carpenter beats Craven by KO and Fulci beats Romero by split decision.

huh?

Craven and Romero, I think. I'm not sure what we're doing...

Who do you think is a better director?

Carpenter or Craven

and

Romero or Fulci

Craven and Romero.

what about argento?? or other great directors that i cant remember. you cant compare them, they all have different styles.

FUCK OFF WITH THE DUMB VS.... THREADS!!! It's getting really fucking annoying and stupid.

As far as top horror directors go I'd have to say Carpenter (probably my all time favorite director at the moment), Argento, Fulci, Cronenberg, Raimi, and Steve Miner are people I hold in high regard.

.............and yeh Joseph Zito did a pretty cool job with The Prowler.

Tobe Hooper is the best

too many decent horror directors, who have their own different ways in producing, to say which one's best.

Hideo Nakata......or maybe Brian De Palma

Best Director
 

The problem is that some of the best horror movies of all time have been made bydirectors who then don't bother with the genre again or when they do they can't match the standard they set.
Examples: William Friedkin with The Exorcist
Richard Donner with The Omen
Sam Raimi with The Evil Dead

Also the directors that are classed as HORROR specialists such as Wes Craven and John Carpenter make the odd good film or even a classic but then stink the place out with some awful movies.
Examples John Carpenter with the classics Halloween and The Thing but then he makes Vampires and Ghosts Of Mars.
Wes Craven with The Hills Have Eyes and Nightmare On Elm Street but then he comes out with Shocker and The People Under The Stairs.
One director that doesn't disappoint is George A Romero but he just hasn't been prolific enough over the years.
Dario Argento has been very prolific and his films are very stylish and have had some legendary scenes but the trouble with his films is that they are so hard to follow what on earth the plot is all about.
