Wes Craven all the way!!!!!!!!!

One movie

The Hills Have Eyes.

Wes Craven definately. But like stated above, his new stuff sucks.

since I'm assuming we're talking about the horror movies, I'll go with Craven. Carpenter tends to not do horror movies.

i guess it depends on YOUR definition of what a horror picture is. i'm quite familiar w/ John Carpenter's pics and i can think of a few off hand that IMO would fall into the horror category, like:
CHRISTINE
THE FOG
PRINCE OF DARKNESS
VAMPIRES
HALLOWEEN
GHOSTS OF MARS
THEY LIVE (BORDERS ON SCI-FI BUT A STILL A HORROR IMO)

scary movies often equal horror for me..not necessarily gory

village of the damned
in the mouth of madness
body bags

more horror type movies....hmmm, kinda a lot for a director that doesn't really do horror

duh! THE THING! what was i thinking..how could i forget such a classic?! so some of his movies border sci-fi but they're scary and that's good enough for me. seems kinda like horror director compared to let's say james cameron.

Carpenter. He's made some of my favorite movies and he's WAY more consistent.

Carpenter is a better director IMO, but I enjoy Wes Cravens movies more. I think its more in the writing etc. etc.

GOD, I can't choose!! I like both of them ALOT!!!
