Someone like Miike I don't count because his stuff that isn't necessarily horror is what I like best. Ichi the Killer, especially. It's his best movie, IMO, and it's not a horror movie. Same with Chronenberg. His horror stuff was good, and all, but I was never so impressed with him as a director until his most recent movies. I think Eastern Promises is his best movie yet.
Anywho, in no particular order:
Alfred Hitchcock
Kiyoshi Kurosawa
Dario Argento
Wes Craven
Romero
David Fincher is close to being in the top 5, but is barely edged out since I don't consider Zodiac a horror movie.
