Iconic Directors of the Horror Genre!
So hi again in this entry I will be looking at iconic directors of the horror movie genre and I don't really think that I need to explain that too much so let's just head straight in!
So the first director, you might or might not have heard of (I know I haven't) is called Wes Craven. Craven is responsible for creating the two most copied and re-made horror movies of all times which are The Hills Have Eyes and The Last House On The Left. He directed Nightmare on Elm Street and then would later go on to direct the sequel New Nightmare 10 years from the original and the Nightmare series is one of the most successful horror money-maker of all time.
The second director we will be looking at will be John Carpenter and he was responsible for creating the franchise of Halloween (the movie that is) which could be considered to be one of the most profitable franchises of all time. But he has done even more apart from that and he has gone on to develop the Escape series and rebooted The Thing. With the movie Halloween he pretty much created the mass market of low budget horror movies. Without him there would be no sequels for Scream or Friday 13th.
