Best Director
The problem is that some of the best horror movies of all time have been made bydirectors who then don't bother with the genre again or when they do they can't match the standard they set.
Examples: William Friedkin with The Exorcist
Richard Donner with The Omen
Sam Raimi with The Evil Dead
Also the directors that are classed as HORROR specialists such as Wes Craven and John Carpenter make the odd good film or even a classic but then stink the place out with some awful movies.
Examples John Carpenter with the classics Halloween and The Thing but then he makes Vampires and Ghosts Of Mars.
Wes Craven with The Hills Have Eyes and Nightmare On Elm Street but then he comes out with Shocker and The People Under The Stairs.
One director that doesn't disappoint is George A Romero but he just hasn't been prolific enough over the years.
Dario Argento has been very prolific and his films are very stylish and have had some legendary scenes but the trouble with his films is that they are so hard to follow what on earth the plot is all about.
