The seven sinners of horror cinema!

Okay, just a topic that came to me on a whim, probably not worth much but too good to pass up!
Bill Hinzman - envy
Victor Salva - lust
Michael Bay - gluttony
Charles Band - sloth
Bruce Campbell - pride
Michael Haneke - wrath
Mark Burg - greed
Any alternates come to mind? I thought Lucio Fulci would work for "wrath" considering his repeated "scathing commentaries" on the church and society in general, but I figured Haneke would be a more popular and well-known choice. There could be a bunch of people within "greed" but no one came to mind as especially greedy amongst all the others, so I picked the guy who just recently ruined the Saw series through "profitable choices". Michael Bay is obviously not a literal glutton, but instead a glutton for devouring fair to good horror franchises in order to put his own consistently middling spin on them.

âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
