I love Kaufman's humor and Miike has certainly made some interesting films...but Phantasm and Bubba Ho-Tep alone launch Don Coscarelli into another dimension for me.

Ridley Scott

[neverending]

Hideo Nakata

[realdealblues]

I was going to vote Ridley Scott because I love Alien, but Alien is really the only Horror movie he's done (except for maybe Prometheus which isn't out yet)...so I don't really consider him a "Horror" Director.

I guess I'm going to go Alexandre Aja on this one.

[Straker]

Hideo Nakata

[Zero]

tough - i really loved high tension but scott has done so much in film broadly. but, while alien was good - hannibal was wretched so . . . since this is horror directors tourney

Alexandre Aja

[The Villain]

Ridley Scott

[roshiq]

Alexandre Aja

[CaptainSpaulding]

Scott. For sure.

[CannibalHolocaust]

Ridley Scott of course

Roth, Burton has never directed a horror.

[The Villain]

I love Burton but like Disease said he hasn't directed a horror movie and besides Eli Roth is awesome and Hostel was really good.

[roshiq]

i loved hostel but have basically loathed everything else roth has done - - so for me it will be


BURTON

Ditto......

[fortunato]

I love Burton but like Disease said he hasn't directed a horror movie

Seriously? Sleepy Hollow, Sweeney Todd, Corpse Bride, Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, Frankenweenie all range from straight-up horror to drama/comedy with strong horror elements.

[neverending]

Seriously? Sleepy Hollow, Sweeney Todd, Corpse Bride, Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, Frankenweenie all range from straight-up horror to drama/comedy with strong horror elements.

Even if you dismiss the comedies and the musical, Sleepy Hollow is a freakin great horror film.

Eli Roth - 5 (CaptainSpaulding, realdealblues, hammerfan, Disease, The Villain)
