Yes, him especially, but Lewton had a good eye for choosing an ensemble of great atmospheric directors (Mark Robson and Robert Wise to boot).

And speaking of Robert Wise...whaddabout him?! Great atmosphere in his numerous spectacular films. The Haunting, anyone? The Day the Earth Stood Still? The Body Snatcher? Rod and I have ranted and raved about this guy before, but he deserves it all.

Despare hit it on the head with Fritz Lang's masterpieces.

And what about David Lynch? Eraserhead? Blue Velvet? His films are bleeding nightmarish atmosphere.
