I love Carpenter(Damn you Briggs for not mentioning The Fog!) and Argento(Trauma is his most underrated movie)
You have to let Wes Craven in on this discussion...
Tobe Hooper deserves a mention...If only for given us the original Chainsaw film.
As for Wes Craven, I find him kinda overrated; he's made some great horror movies, but none that really scream "top tier" to me.
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
