He is already producing other people's horror films (like THE PRHANAGE) that feel just like his films. I believe that the one who is inspiring the most young film fans and creating his own brand is Del Toro - his influence will impact a generation and soon we'll be holding him amongst the ranks of Argento, Carpenter, Raimi and Jackson.
