Ooooo... Good thread.

Shoe-ins:
John Carpenter
Alfred Hitchcock
David Lynch
Roman Polanski

Fighting for the 5th spot:
Sam Raimi
William Friedkin
George A. Romero
Takashi Shimizu
Tim Burton (I am VERY excited about Sweeney Todd)

Notes:
I'm glad that someone else classifies Lynch as a horror director. I would love to see him do a strictly horror film. Then again, if he stuck to a single genre, he wouldn't be his wonderful Lynch self.

Directors whom I haven't delved into but I should:
Dario Argento
Mario Bava
David Cronenburg (I've seen Spider, which I found well-done yet predictable)

You didn't like Videodrome... hmmmm... try Scanners.




I'd say...

Romero
Cronenburg
Argento
Hitchcock

There are too many directors I like and would give this fifth spot to. From greats like Raimi, Bava, Craven, Polanski and Carpenter to the... different, like Henenlotter and HG Lewis. Hell, I'd even consider putting Stuart Gorden or Roger Corman on my list.

Ehh.... Abyss is an interesting movie. I'm not sure what i'd call it. I mean, it's definitely Sci Fi, but horror? Not really.
