    Best horror movie filmmakers in the business

    I was just looking up on some directors and I didn't know that so many made great horror films.

    So I just wanted to bring up a discussion, who are some of the best horror movie filmmakers?

    I must give mine to Pete Jackson for Dead Alive and Sam for Evil Dead.

    What do you think, who are some of the best horror movie filmmakers in the business?

    Like, so many people out there were trying to track this down. And it just...got delivered on a tweet. What the hell.

    Hitchcock - one of the greatest directors of all time
    Argento
    Romero
    Cronenberg
    Carpenter and Craven for their earlier stuff...as of late they have been slacking

    Some great directors that got their started with horror and became huge:
    Raimi
    P. Jackson
    Speilberg

    Great up-and-comers that need to refine their craft but have potential:
    Rob Zombie
    Neil Marshal
    Eli Roth
    Scott Glosserman (Behind the Mask)
    Alexandre Aja (High Tension and Hills have Eyes)


    Others worth mentioning:
    Stuart Gordon
    Fulci - though he CAN be phenominal (The Beyond) he has a lot of stinker made for TV crap too
    Don Coscarelli
    Michele Soavi
    Joe Dante

    I'm not a big Tobe Hooper fan. Sure texas was groundbreaking and Salem's Lot was a sweet adaption. Poltergeist was incredible...but by many accounts Speilberg had a pretty big helping hand in that film.

    I just havent been impressed with his style (or lack thereof) or anything hes done in the last 20 years

    He gets the award for throwing the most names out there, and liking just about every film that they drop.

    Favs:
    Dario Argento
    Sergio Marino (Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh, Torso)
    John Carpenter
    Alexandre Aja
    Neil Marshall

    honorable mention: William Lustig

    Concise and almost complete for me, KM. Only additions would for me would be William Friedkin, Roman Polanski, Alexandre Aja and Rob Zombie.

    I have to give a shoutout to my main man John Carpenter. Not only are most of his movies consistantly good ( I even have a soft spot for Ghosts of Mars ), but also gave us several non-horror classics such "Assault on Precinct 13", a personal favorite of mine.

    Honorable mention to David Cronenburg and Dario Argento, 2 equally skilled masters. If only all three of them could get back to their roots...

    Dario's recent work is good, not great but better than most.
    Pelts, Jenifer, Sleepless, The Third Mother, were all very entertaining imo..
