The directors are usually the writers as well, so they actually want to create an otherworldly experience for fans that watch their work of art. The following are some of the most seasoned horror movie directors who have helped us quench our thirst for great horror movies and by doing so, have also established a legacy for themselves:
Steven Spielberg is a great director his works can speak for himself (E.T., War of the Worlds, Vanilla Sky, and almost every movie Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks have ever played in).
John Carpenter is just the greatest director in the horror genre as he also writes some of the most sensational horror stories. Can we ever forget “The Thing”, “The Fog”, John Carpenter’s Vampires, Halloween; he redefined horror movies as we knew it.
John Landis is best known for his werewolves’ movies as he tries to put a funny spin on stories that are breathtakingly scary. Movies like an American Werewolf in London are mere examples of how great of a director he truly is.
Eli Roth, who is also a writer, is fairly new comparing to the ones cited above. But he has been all over our movie theaters lately with his gore filled, grotesquely scary horror movies such as Cabin Fever and the Hostel series.
Who is your favorite horror movie director ever?
The horror fans are spreading their horror, spread yours!
John Carpenter made some of the best horror films in history. HalloweeN, the one he wrote, directed and even did the music to;is the best horror film ever. Without John Carpenter and HalloweeN there would be no Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Chucky, Scream, and no Pinhead.
john carpenter gave me the shivers with the simple story of HALLOWEEN.I like how it has been built on over the years, especially with the story of Jamie, being close to my age.It wasn't hard to imagine myself in her place.I really wish that the directors would tell about what happend after Ressurection! It's been driving me insane! If they don't do something soon, they might be making movies about me!
Why: The Thing is always going to remain one of the greatest Alien movies ever because the storyline is both plausible and unimaginable. The Prequel to this Claustrophobic and Paranoiac tale of a shapeshifting alien that overpowered a Norwegian Research team by assimilating them is likely to be both highly anticipated and mostly watched - wrong. But I loved the storyline, I loved how it ended to merge with the beginning of the former movie, I loved the special effects, I also loved the actors I thought they did a very good job overall. This Prequel will make you feel that it was necessary to The Thing franchise as it explains the Alaskan Malamute being chased after and shot at by a rifleman from a Norwegian helicopter.

WTF Scene: Where Elsa played by Sarah Polley and Dren played by the gorgeous Delphine Chaneac are in the woods, Dren tackles Elsa to the ground, Elsa screams trying to understand Dren's motives for attacking her, and He-she tells her that it wants to be inside her, at that point I am not just taken aback, I cannot believe that she seduces and does the dirty with Clive played by Adrian Brody supposedly her father figure and now Male-Dren wants Elsa (her mother figure), can you say, incestuous menagerie to the max? Shockingly her tail was not only a sharp tool used to kill innocent animal and people alike but also a make-shift penis forced on Elsa as Male-Dren rapes Elsa for over three minutes with her multi-purpose tail.
Actor: Adrian Brody, Delphine Chaneac, Sarah Polley
Director: Vicenzo Natali
Famous Quote: "If you could understand Crazy, it wouldn't be CRAZY"
Bottom Line: In Splice there were a lot of WTF moments but this rape scene was unlike any other as I was both violently traumatized and brain-raped by that part.
