Round 2 - Match 5
Our next two competitors both claim very convincing 9-1 Round 1 victories, but only one of these two can survive to make the quarterfinals... John Carpenter - Halloween, The Fog, The Thing, Christine, Prince of Darkness, They Live!, Memoirs of an Invisible Man, In the Mouth of Madness, Village of the Damned (remake), Vampires, Ghosts of Mars. {John has also made a number of notable non-horror films including Assault on Precinct 13 (original), Escape from New York, Starman, Big Trouble in Little China and Escape from LA.} James Whale - Frankenstein (1931), The Old Dark House, The Invisible Man (1933), Bride of Frankenstein (1935), The Invisible Man (1966) {James also directed several other non-horror films as well.} First one to 7 wins... |
I dread making these kinds of decisions.....but I gotta go with John Carpenter.

Although his movies sucked later...but for the early brilliance...Carpenter...

John Carpenter - After watching Cigarette Burns I see he still has some left in the tank.

Cronenberg. Not much direction involved when you basically make all zombie movies ("stumble around and grunt in a convincing manner" LOL).

The Fly is one of the remakes that surpassed the original. |
I like Cronenberg, but I gotta go with:

Need more votes... P.S. I have just decided on the tournament I will be running next and I, for one, am pretty excited about it. I think it'll be a good one. You can trust me. Have I let you down with a tournament in the past? The Tournament of the Living Dead (Zombie films), The Eternalment (Vampire films), The Cartoonament I (Simpsons) and The Cartoonament II (South Park), now the Greatest Horror Directors. Come on! If I'm running it, you know it's bound to be a pretty good tourney. :D |
