Favorite Horror Film Directors
Hey guys and gals, its been a couple years since the Best Horror Film Tournament in the Horror Polls section, so I figure it is about time to start a new one. This new poll will be the next logical step, Best Horror Film Director. I will just take the names from this thread and put them in the Director thread in Horror Polls.
I am shooting for 128 directors, but maybe 64 might be best? Also, I think it would be best to just list directors who have worked prominently in horror films, not just directors who have made one horror film among many (like Robert Zemeckis). Anyway, let's get listing. Only list directors that haven't been listed yet. I will start off with the obvious: John Carpenter George A. Romero Dario Argento Lucio Fulci Wes Craven Roman Polanski David Cronenberg Brian DePalma Alfred Hitchcock Tobe Hooper Sam Raimi Tom Holland Larry Cohen Umberto Lenzi Stuart Gordon Peter Jackson John Landis Joe Dante Terence Fisher Mario Bava Roger Corman Ruggero Deodato Todd Browning Bruno Mattei Clive Barker Jess Franco Joe D'Amato Bob Clark Don Coscarelli

Awesome! I missed the other polls, so I was hoping another would pop up. I'd like to add two directors who are not solely horror, but have dabbled in the genre with some terrific work>
Abel Ferrara is possibly my favorite director. Think The Driller Killer, The Addiction, Body Snatchers, Ms. 45 and the overall tone of his bleak ouvre. David Lynch can spook and shock like the best of them. Think Twin Peaks, Lost Highway, Eraserhead, Mulholland Drive I think they've both got enough horror marks to at least be considered.
