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!
We are mourning our fellow Haitian brothers, sisters and friends who are dead right now and we are reaching out to the ones that are well, alive and abroad to lend a hand to the survivors of this 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince on tuesday right before dinner time!
