I agree with Carpenter. He has a lot of misses, but it's always pretty interesting and he's got three or four absolute classics. Halloween is still pretty untouchable as "the" slasher film.

Can anybody out there give me a list of newer directors of horror to watch? I'm interested in guys who are doing stuff that I may have missed but that definitely have a style.

An example of what I'm talking about is I heard that film "Wendigo" was good, but I don't know anything about it. Who did that? Are there any other favorites of up and comer horror directors, or forgotten great directors that are still working?
