Quote:
Slashers the first one (if we have to take all murder mysteries into the slasher genre) was in the 40s...Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None"... The first independent one was "Peeping Tom"(1960)...the year in which "Psycho" released too...then there was Herschel Gordon Lewis' "Blood Feast(1963)... Bava's "Blood and Black Lace" came in 1964...and "Bay of Blood" in 1971... although its claimed that "Black Christmas" was the first horror film to use the "the calls are coming from inside the house" plotline...

We can debate the origin of the slasher sub-genre elsewhere.
Craven and Browning still tied at 7! Need more votes....

Quarterfinals - Match 3
Our next quarterfinalist earned his spot by first trouncing Takashi Shimizu 9-1 followed by a an absolute thumping of James Whale for a 7-0 shutout. Can he continue his path of destruction through the competitors? John Carpenter - Halloween, The Fog, The Thing, Christine, Prince of Darkness, They Live!, Memoirs of an Invisible Man, In the Mouth of Madness, Village of the Damned (remake), Vampires, Ghosts of Mars. And his opponent, making his way to the Elite 8 via a 7-0 shutout of Eli Roth and a very dominant and convincing 12-3 win over Lucio Fulci... David Cronenberg - Shivers, Rabid (aka Rage), The Brood, Scanners, Videodrome, The Dead Zone, The Fly, Dead Ringers

Carpenter (since horror, although Cronenberg is a better director IMO)
