James Whale, of course. Now here's an example of a horror master.

There's absolutely NO WAY Fisher should go without at least one vote.

You're right. I DID lie, but not about Castle being in the tournament. I lied when I said this was the 16th match of Round 1. It's actually the 15th and I totally overlooked one on accident, so fear not, William Castle is still coming up. But be warned, he faces some very tough competition.

Takashi Miike, no question!:D

Miike destroys Ronny Yu 8-0 to advance to the next round.

I think if you take Ridley Scott's whole body of work, it would be a much closer race. Since this is a horror director tournament, I have to go with Hitchcock.
