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.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre is close to perfection, but Hooper doesn't make the cut for me since I haven't seen him do anything half as good since XP.

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.
“The Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audience’s 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... I’d better stop before I give myself nightmares”
