Im not saying you havent seen many movies, but you obviously haven't seen much from John Carpenter.

Not only is that some awful grammer, but other than Halloween, Carpenter really hasn't done much that could be considered "slasher". Lets look at some of his films, shall we?
Escape from New York? - Yep, that's definatly a slasher [/scarcasim]
The Thing? - Sure, it has a pretty good body count, but slasher? Far from it.
In the Mouth of Madness? - Until the end, hardly anyone even dies in this. No slasher this time.
Starman? Memoirs of an Invisible Man? Big Trouble in Little China? - I think you must get my point by now.
Other than Halloween, Christine is the closest that he's come to a slasher film. Admittedly, I havent seen a few of his more recent ones (Ghosts of Mars), but I'm certainly familiar enough with his work to not classify him as a slasher director.

Same to you. Just because one of his best films was a slasher, that doesnt mean you should assume that's all that he makes.
When we get down to it though, I agree with you. I dont think Rob Zombie is right for Halloween either. Who knows though, he might surprise us.
