Favorite horror director?

Who's your favorite horror director?

Kubrick is my favorite director- and I love The Shining....
But William Friedkin did the scariest horror ever: THE EXORCIST.
I'm a grown-ass man, and I still can't watch that without getting freaked.

No doubt, The Exorcist is mega creepy. When I first saw it I didn't think it was that bad because I had heard so much about it. After I rewatched it again though I realised it was one that got in your head!

It's the documentary feeling, the film stock that has heavy grain.
Plus - and this is why it is genius - Friedkin incrementally increased the exposure to scenes of possessed Regan.
The first time - a minute, the second time- minute and 1/2, third time- 2 minutes, etc.
He keeps slowly increasing the exposure until you get the full-on final showdown.

That's a good spot, I never really noticed that. Just that by the end all hell is breaking loose! Lol. Yeah it does have a realistic look, it definatly adds to the atmosphere!

Im a big fan of Ti West followed his stuff from VHS to House of the Devil and The Innkeepers. The House of the Devil is still my favourite horror movie. Also like his pal Adam Winguard.
