I'm also a huge fan of German filmmaker Jorg Buttgereit. He's responsible for some classic stuff, like Nekromantik, Der Todesking and Schramm.
Going way back, Tod Browning made some of the most unforgetable Horror movies. Dracula alone would make him an all time great, but his catalogue is impressive.
A couple of modern movie makers I have high hopes for are Lucky McKee and Ti West.
And don't forget some of the folks who made great schlock! No list of my favorite Directors would be complete without mentioning Herschel Gordon Lewis, Ed Wood, William Girdler and Jeff Lieberman!

I completely forgot about Lucky McKee and Ti West.
I loved House of the Devil by West and The Woman and May from Lucky McKee.
McKee also directed the episode Sick Girl of Masters of Horror. One of the first episodes of that show I watched.
Also, let's have a shout out to Takashi Miike. Audition, Imprint (Another Master of Horror episode), One Missed Call, Over Your Dead Body.
A prolific and awesome filmmaker who did a lot of different types of movies.
