John Carpenter or Wes Craven???

Whose movies do you think are more consisently scarier and better overall? AND what are some of your favorite movies by your more beloved director-aside from the obvious HALLOWEEN and ANOES.

Gotta go with Carpenter on that one because of movies like "The Fog", "They Live", "The Thing", and "Big Trouble in Little China", which are his best excluding "Halloween"

Carpenter, though Craven seems more able to fit commercially into Hollywood without losing what made him cool in the first place. Scream was commercial and still good, whereas Carpenter's attempt to make a Hollywood-style movie, Escape From LA) was a mess (Sane shooting basketball). Hopefully Carpenter will stick to his guns and keep putting out low-budget, enigmatic movies showcasing his anti-heroes, stuff like Vampires and Ghosts of Mars. Besides, Craven still has to answer for Vampire Of Brooklyn!!!!!

Wes Craven. Just a personal preference, because I've met the guy. If he hadn't re-vitalized the Horror genre with NOES and Scream, who knows where the Horror genre would be. Like it or not, the more people that see a certain type of movie the more those kinds of movies are produced...and Wes has produced consistently scary movies.

No competition for me...

Craven is one of the best directors in the business.
