Blast! This is another hard choice.

Ive only seen one of Argento's films, Suspiria, and it blew me away. One of the greatest horror films Ive ever seen, and it spent quite a bit of time on the Honorable Mentions section of my signature.

On the other hand, Ive seen plenty of Craven's films and they are very hit and miss. Hills Have Eyes and Nightmare on Elm Street were incredible, but Chiller is one of the worst movie's Ive ever seen. Swamp Thing wasnt great either, Cursed was pretty dumb, but I did really like Scream. For the most part though, he's a hack.

I think just for the sheer masterprice of Suspiria I have to go with Argento. Craven made a couple of great movies, but none can live up to Suspiria.

SemiFinal - Match 2

Our third semifinalist has made his way through the tournament with a combined record of 30-6, with 1 shutout, taking out such directing heavyweights as Takashi Shimizu, James Whale, and David Cronenberg...


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.


And his opponent...Untouchable thus far. He has destroyed legends William Castle, Mario Bava and Stuart Gordon by an amazing combined score of 35-1 with two wins coming by way of shutout...

George Romero - Night of the Living Dead (original), Season of the Witch (aka Hungry Wives), The Crazies, Martin, Dawn of the Dead (original), Creepshow, Day of the Dead, Monkey Shines, Two Evil Eyes, The Dark Half, Bruiser, Land of the Dead


First one to 10 votes wins, but they must win by 2.
