So happy to see Mike Flanagan as a horror hero. He already deserves that spot. Midnight Mass is one of my favourite things ever
Too bad it didn’t go longer but it’s smart to keep it simple and short. 😊
Midnight Mass is amazing. A must watch. It had me at the first scene with the Neil Diamond music.
Honestly midnight mass is so good even my 50 year old mom liked it and she ain’t into stuff like that😂🤷♂️
He's my personal favourite too, I've never resonated with a show as much as I did Hill House 😊
A top 10 horror movies by female directors would be great
Yeah Mary Lambert would be at the top. Just for Pet Sematary. Scary as hell
@@ghostme1635 Julia Ducournau for me. She did Raw and Titane so she’s already got a good track record.
Check out Dans Ma Peau (In My Skin). It's a French psychological/body horror written by, directed by, and starring a woman named Marina de Van. I was thoroughly impressed by it. Fucking dark!
RIP Roger Corman!!
@@finsternis1986 Generally, people outside of France, doesn’t much care for french movies. Absolutely no point in watching it, unless you actually speak french, or understand french speech and mannerisms… If you can’t do those things, then you’re just trying to stick out like a sore thumb.
Wes Craven's my favorite since Scream is my favorite horror movie and Nightmare on elm street is also awesome
Same here.
Wes is goated
The Original Nightmare is my 3rd favorite horror movie ever.
Didn’t he make Wishmaster as well?
I hardly ever hear anyone else say they really like "Dead Silence," so it's nice to hear a legit critic say it.
Good movie
Very fun flick
Exactly
I saw it a few years back and it was the scariest movie I have ever seen. I could not sleep that night and the next night I kept liseening to songs until I was sure I would pass out immediatly after I turned it off 😂
Extremely underrated!
Dead Silence is awesome! I’ve never met someone who DIDN’T like it
Jesus you are a mad man for making this Cody
James Wan is my favorite. The dude owns post 2000 horror after starting THREE franchises. I know they got worse as they went on, but the entries he directed were all great. His independent horror films have blown me away as well
I couldn't even make a ranking myself as there are so many good ones BUT considering James Wan directed The Conjuring 1 and 2, he would be high up there. Those films to me are probably the best scary movies ever.
SAME!
Ti West owns post 2000 horror. Wan’s probably in the top 5, though.
I Love The Conjuring 2, Saw II And Maligant, all amazing to perfect, he would be my no.1 (hes no.3 after John carpenter who is second place and Wes Craven who made Scream which is my favorite horror movie of all time) IF JAMES WOULD BE THE DIRECTOR OF Insidious 3 because that's one of my favorite jumpscare horrormovie of all time 😅 but nahh my man passed the torch like he always does, idk why he can't make even ONE Trilogy, he made first two SAW films, first two Insidous and first two Conjurings. He keeps giving he's baby's to someone else 😟
John Carpenter is king in my book. Not every film is a slam dunk but his greats are on another level.
Carpenter’s worst films have more value than some of these director’s best movies imo
David Lynch lowkey could have easily made the list despite never making a straight up horror film. He has created moments that are genuinely more terrifying and bone-chilling than anything I've seen in mainstream horror. I'd say he's my favorite.
Totally. Honestly Sleepaway Camp feels like Twin Peaks when you mentioned him being a horror director
I came looking for David Lynch comments. I really like Dario Argento.
Most of zodiac is unsettling the park scene the basement scene and the baby in car scene
I'd definitely call Eraserhead, Fire Walk with Me, and Inland Empire horror movies. Lost Highway is kinda treading the line, as the first half is just straight up horror whereas the genre shifts on the latter half of the movie. I'd be very surprised though if Cody liked Lynch's work knowing he generally doesn't like the arthouse side of things.
I personally don't get the hype of David Lynch. His style is far too abstract for me. And just straight up weird. I liked the first half of lost highway and that's almost it. I haven't seen twin peaks tho full disclosure. But I haven't enjoyed his style thus far
Yay my patreon pick won!!! Thanks for the great video as always Cody!!!
Touching on female directors, someone who I'm really looking forward to doing more is Julia Ducournau who did Raw and Titane. Raw is one of my favorite recent horror movies and Titane was a crazy ride which I really appreciated. Each super visceral, dirty and disgusting. Something about the French lol. She has a great career ahead of her.
TITANE had my attention from beginning to end
I can’t wait to see what she does next!!!
Surprised David Bruckner wasn’t mentioned here. The Ritual, The Night House, and Hellraiser are all solid horror movies
My Top 10 Favorite Horror Directors
1. John Carpenter
2. Wes Craven
3. Tom Holland
4. Sam Raimi
5. Don Coscarelli
6. Tobe Hooper
7. James Wan
8. Mike Flanagan
9. Stewart Gordon
10. George A Romero
Honorable Mentions
James Whale
Leigh Whannel
Jordan Peele
Oh yeah, Stuart Gordon was missing. There are too many underseen and underappreciated films in his filmography.
Clive Barker has only directed 3 movies, the Midnight meat train is just based on his short story.
yeah and i know if the movies that were based on his stories counted, he’d be higher. because Candyman, although not directed by him, was a gem.
No James Whale???? The guy directed Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein and Invisible Man. And thought more obscure, The Old Dark House. The man is a pioneer of horror.
Thank you for making this video. It really informed me on a lot of directors I’m not that knowledgeable about and now I want to go back and watch films I haven’t seen.
Awesome video Cody! When it comes to horror tier list rankings, you're the best at it. I'm also super excited for the horror subgenres ranking. Keep up the great work! 🤘
Thank you!
Cody you forgot Zack Snyder! He’s got Dawn of the Dead, Army of the Dead, and the most horrifying of all: the Rebel Moon movies!
Horror director
Hilarious
Same with David Bruckner
Big props on this massive episode my guy doesn’t miss 🫡🤙🏾🖤
This may be your BEST video ever! Thank you this fun and interesting list.
You are THE MAN!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Midnight Mass could be the greatest vampire story ever told. Do yourself a favor and make the time to watch it
I like that series more than any horror movie of the 2020s so far. 10/10
Honestly id consider that a spoiler
But it is great
Agreed. I can't believe he hasn't watched it yet considering how much he likes vampires 🧛. I'm not that big into vampires or creatures/monsters in general, but this series was fantastic. The lead actor was phenomenal.
Fuckin A. Not one to watch a series over and over. But I would put Midnight Mass up there with The Sopranos and True Detective (season1.) House Of Usher is phenomenal as well.
Ari Aster is a great film maker. Making different films than most in this time period. Respect your opinion though!
He's definitely talented but way too self indulgent.
Great list, but really surprised to not see Stuart Gordon on this list. Re-Animator, From Beyond, Dolls, and Dagon are all great. Castle Freak has a vibe if you’re into the European castle setting and he also did Fortress, which is more sci-fi. Not sure if he was just an honest omission, but if you haven’t seen any of his films you should remedy that ASAP!
James Wan, Jordan Peele, and Mike Flanagan are my big 3 of todays horror movie titans . each with their clearly unique styles and incredible filmmaking and dedication to the horror genre will always be appreciated by me
Fully agree with these true gems!
@@Lacey0312lmaoo
All hacks. Mike has made 1 good show and the rest is boring nonsense, peele is a racist version of Hitchcock, and Wan has ran out of steam.
@@mrradio6223 saying peele is racist just tells me you’re actually the racist one and more than likely white . mike hasn’t missed on any of his shows . bly manor is the only real arguable one . james wan hasn’t lost any steam he actually keeps innovating his genre
@@999dawnfm you're clearly showing that you're racist by supporting a racist. Mike HAS missed ALOT it's the same ol boring formula. And what has Wan released recently that was remotely good. 🤣
Cody, I agree with you a 100 percent. Ari Astor was not a good horror director. Beau Is Afraid (2023) was garbage. The film was all over the place. Joachim Phoenix played the worst main character that I have seen in a modern horror film. Anybody who thinks about watching Beau Is Afraid (2023) steer clear! Watch Godzilla Minus One (2023), instead. Don’t rent or buy Beau Is Afraid (2023). It’s total garbage!
I guess I missed something here.
These are the Best Horror Directors of recent years, not of All Time, correct? And in recent, I will guess the last 50 or 60.
In terms of that, you forgot Larry Cohen (It’s Alive trilogy, Q, The Stuff, God Told Me To).
During the 60s and early 70s:
Terence Fisher, Freddie Francis, John Hough, and Dan Curtis.
Prior to them: Jacques Tourneur, Jack Arnold, Robert Wise, and Edgar G. Ulmer.
And where are Tod Browning, Karl Freund, and especially James Whale?
Finally, Roger Corman.
Other than Carpenter, Romero, and possibly Craven has anyone else advanced the genre like this group of Directors did.
Not everything is splatter and gore. Psychological Horror Films are the Best.
Good god, Alfred Hitchcock not in top tier!?! I'm still giving a thumbs up to this video, but COME ON. And the guy who did Psycho 2 above him? Gahhhhh
just joined patreon a couple weeks ago and i love it!! great video but i so wanted the top ten childhood😂
The mouth of madness so slept on by carpenter
Kind of want to watch it now. Great movie
Big time , that bike scene is underrated. Really scary
Eli Roth is a horror fan's horror director. he just loves the genre so much and I respect that.
Steve Miner directed Halloween H20, one of the better Halloween sequels
For alfred hitchcock if you havent seen it you should see frenzy. Saw it recently and it was definitely top 3 of his best films imo
I love that film! It's one of his best. It has such a mean streak, and the dialogue is razor shape.
I could listen to Cody talk for like 5 hours lmfao
Right lol
@@lonerebeI I have listened for 6 hours. Broken up into 3 hours each but his blu ray video
Make the female director video 😈
You haven't seen midnight mass?! That's by far my fav from Flannigan. I didn't think he would ever make something better than hill house but he did
George A Romero and Wes Craven are my favorite horror directors. Awesome list
Romero underrated 🔥🔥
@@AliFrankTheTank I agree
I could watch cody do tier lists for hours.
Cody you the goat! Appreciate your channel and output so much.
The only flick I like from Leone is Terrifier 2, yet I like it a lot. Splatstick as you called it, very well done. High hopes for the 3rd one.
Wait how do you not like dog soldiers....that movie is amazing! Great action great horror great lines and great characters 👍 👌. Carpenter, Flanagan, Romero are my goat directors.
I know you’re very disparaging of Tim Burton’s style but I’d be very curious to hear your thoughts on Ed Wood and Big Fish since they’re more outside of his wheelhouse.
James wan and Tim Burton are my absolute favourite horror directors of all time. Their style, directing passion and overall execution of horror is just in my opinion, so unparalleled 😁
I would say Mike Flanagan is my number 1 horror director. I’ve been saying it for years, he’s been so amazing since Oculus. James Wan is probably number 2 and not because of Conjuring or Insidious, but because of Saw. Saw is my favorite horror franchise of all time 🎉
Thanks Cody! Good to know our preferences are somewhat aligned when it comes to horror movies!
I always watched A Clockwork Orange by Kubrick as a horror movie. The home invasion scene. Aspects of the gang fight scene despite the Disney-like music. Alex’s “retraining.” His droogs getting their get back. Idk maybe I’m just high. I only watched it after reading Alex was one of the influences for Heath Ledger on joker.
Yes! Please make a top 10 favorite horror movies made by women directors. That's a fun video idea. Loved this ranking list, my ultimate favorite S-tier horror director is John Carpenter. I don't think The Thing will be ever be shoved from my number one horror movie slot! But I am hopeful. My S-tier would look very similar to yours, with the addition of Alfred Hitchcock. Those were the "horror" movies I could watch in front of my mom and didn't have to "sneak to my room" to see :)
Sadly I have to agree with George R, only movies I liked from him was Creepshow, Dawn and Day of the Dead.
Been waiting for a vid like this Cody!
You should do a Mike Flanagan television ranking after you watch Midnight Mass.
YOU DON'T LIKE GREMLINS 2!? As someone who own the novelization of it, I am personally offended.
Thank you with the Ari Aster ranking. I'm in the same boat where Hereditary got better the more I watched it but Midsommar is a steaming pile of shit. That 3rd act is so hilariously stupid that it drives me up a wall when people rave about how disturbing it is. Didn't even attempt Beau is afraid because I already know I'm not gonna like it.
Great idea for a video, Cody! I didn't mind how long it was at all. Like you, the wind tends to blow for a while when I start talking about horror movies.❤
7:37 never seen mirrors but now i got to watch it now because of the kill you described here
It’s a decent movie but that kill is wicked.
It’s wild. I think I was like 13 the first time I saw it and it’s lived rent free in my head for the last 16 years.
I absolutely hated Mirrors, but that kill was a good one 😅
As a young teen.. I did some… Choice pausing on that scene 😉
Wow, thanks for the great content lately! Tom Holland is amazing! Tommy Lee Wallace was also great and it always pains me to think what could’ve been with Bill Paxton if he directed more movies!
I’m sorry but Robert Eggers is my favorite & the best of the newer directors (Aster, Peele, etc). He’s 3 for 3 in my book … the Witch being incredible, The Lighthouse & The Northman. I absolutely love this dark moody gothic aesthetic but it’s grounded in total realism. And his upcoming Nosferatu film is the most anticipated of the year for me… he’s about to be 4 for 4. A legend.
Clive Barker only directed 3 movies: Hellraiser, Nightbreed and Lord of Illusions.
But - like Stephen King - there are a lot of movies (Books of Blood, Rawhead Rex, Candyman, Midnight Meat Train etc) out there that are based on his stories.
Cody over here nailing it with content recently, dang
I'm rewatching this awesome episode and I have a question. When you covered Tim Burton, you didn't list his Batman films. Are you not a fan or was that an oversight?
"You Have My Attention, Cody!!"
The director of The Babadook and The Nightingale really need to make another movie. Those two movies are utterly fantastic other than the disappointing anticlimactic ending of The Nightingale.
I did not know that Switchblade Romance, The Hills Have Eyes remake, Mirrors, and Crawl were all directed by the exact same individual. That would explain why they're all so great other than the dumb plot twist ending to Switchblade Romance.
I don't know how a horror fan can not like Midsommar considering the blood eagle, and the mallet scene, those kills are so gnarly, and the opening is incredible. I love every single second of that movie, it is my favourite horror movie of all time.
The Lighthouse is one of my favourite movies of all time period.
Occulus is one of my favourite movies of all time. It is so brutal and mean spirited, like the bit where the ghost makes him gouge off chunks of his fingernails and nail beds with a staple remover, the bit where it tricked her into thinking she was picking up the apple and munching on it only to realise it made her pick up and munch on the lightbulb causing blood to spurt out, and the bit where he released the thing to break it, but it tricked him into not seeing his sister and made him decapitate her and kill her, incredible. Also, not knowing if it is a real ghost or mental illness and leaving it ambiguous.
I saw the first Terrifier movie, I found it kind of boring.
I love Get Out and Nope, but I was not particularly that enamoured with Us.
The only good horror movies M Night Shyamalan has made are The Sixth Sense, Split, Knock at the Cabin Door, and that's it. Unbreakable is a superhero deconstruction movie, not a horror movie. All of his other movies suck. I'd put him below bottom tier.
I love Scream 6. The only issue with it is the fact that when people get attacked, they just did not die which entirely deflates the horror, and they should have killed off Courtney Cox's character.
Edgar Wright directed Hot Fuzz, one of my favourite movies of all time, my second favourite comedy behind Wolf of Wall Street.
I give Tom Holland more credit for Child's Play's quality and success than Mancini. Mancini wrote a very flawed(with potential)script, but both Holland and John Lafia rewrote and retooled the story and characters to work as a film and thus transcended the initial material.
I think it's evident once Mancini attained complete control. He had a fluke with Curse of Chucky, but overall, he drove the concept to the ground. So yeah, I'm of the fandom that is all in with Child's Play but not a fan of post Bride "Chucky" movies.... and the show is ass imo.
Also, by this point in time, Brad Dourif is just too damn old to voice Chucky anymore. Every time Chucky opens his big mouth to say something now, it's just the voice of a very, very old dude and it totally sucks. That voice is not funny anymore. It's not scary anymore. It just sucks is all. So, Brad Dourif should just quit voicing Chucky already and just retire from Chucky stuff altogether.
I’m with you on the Faculty. I’ll take that over any other 90s slasher/horror/high school horror movie. Absolutely love it.
John Carpenter's Vampires was boring and weird. I really hoped I would like it and was massivley disappointed 😞
Dario argento is probably my favorite horror director ever. I really love everything ive seen from him.
Also last night in soho is such a good movie in my opinion. I think the visuals and soundtrack alone make it a masterpiece!
Great video as always
Last night in soho is definitely Argento inspired, great Film.
Going off of Cody’s criteria here are my Top 3 Favorite Horror Directors
3. Robert Rodriguez
2. John Carpenter
1. Sam Raimi
Alita Battle Angel
@@VinylWarrior24 Don’t know what you’re specifically referring to, but I’m a big fan of Battle Angel. That would be in my Top 5 Rodriguez Films.
Wouldn't class Rodriguez as a horror director. Sure he has directed one or two but his other films outweigh them mostly action
Pretty bad list. Rodriguez isn't even a horror director...
@@headshot217 Well, this tier list would be pretty short then, considering half the directors here have directed non-horror movies too. Rodriguez directed 4 horror movies: From Dusk Till Dawn, The Faculty, Planet Terror and Red 11. About the same amount as Sam Raimi, Tim Burton, Edgar Wright and Alex Garland then.
You mentioned John Landis only made one horror film. He also made Innocent Blood that is a vampire comedy/horror. Please don't take this as I'm calling you out but was curious if you've ever seen it. I know you love vampire films. 😊
I have not
@@CodyLeachYT you should check it out. I thought it was fun when I saw it back in the day. I believe you liked Vampire in Brooklyn and this is similar only more R rated. It's a vampire vs the Italian mob.
Innocent Blood is great. Such a fun cool movie.
That's why I been skipping the games and bought mw3 only because bf 2042 I did not like.😢
I miss my cosmetics and possession me off nothing transfers. I don't play warzone not my cup of gfuel lol. I hate the 1 year cycle I was hoping when Microsoft got ahold on cod that the yearly would be done for but yet again I just tell myself.
This why I still support dead by daylight and still play it 8 years later. I love it more than cod.
I didn't like Us either, however when you were talking about it this hit me. What if it's playing on fact of some celebrity cult/illuminati (hence the red jumpsuits) and the fact that there is always talk about celebrities being replaced. And just a play on if one of them broke out.
Never really considered Tim Burton to be a HORROR director. I guess Sleepy Hollow is and MAYBE Sweeney Todd, but i get you.
@Cody I am shocked at the projects you take on. I loved this and just hope it does well enough for all the work you did for this :). Always appreciated
Dead silence is a good movie, especially because of the nostalgia. And i flippin' loved Malignant. Annnddd both of those are great to watch while buzzed or high, whatever your poison is. Or both.
Almost none of the classic directors like James Whale, Tod Browning, Jacques Tourneur, Terrence Fisher, Mario Bava, Roger Corman, Dario Argento, Herschell Gordon Lewis, Lucio Fulci, and Roman Polanski. The guys who helped establish the building blocks that modern directors expanded on.
Just finished watching and while I share a different perspective, your list is well balanced and thorough! My list is... not so much. lol Horror Heroes: Alex Garland, Mike Flanagan, Guillermo Del Toro
Dark Horse: David Cronenberg, (Lars von Trier - not listed but I could make my case for him)
You Have My Attention: Jordan Peele, Ari Aster, Robert Eggers
John Carpenter is the master of horror in my opinion.
Tom Holland saved the Childs Play/Chucky franchise (from Mancini) IMHO.
What probably would have been a one off, obscure film turned into a full blown franchise.
Don's original version was revised and the sequels were based off Hollands narrative.
Since Bride... Don's been trying to 'course correct' the franchise through his vision..throwing EVERYTHING at the wall
After Bride, the ridiculousness skyrocketed (Curse was a return to form)...Seed, no..Cult, no..the first season of the TV show..then no
Tim Burton is my favorite Director of all Time. So, while I understand why you don't enjoy his films, I'm little mad he's at the bottom of the tier list
This is a really good video Cody. I’m watching it again
Cody: I hate when directors talk to their audience like they’re stupid
also Cody 5 minutes later: hopefully this makes sense, i know i’m using a lot of big words
With regard to the split in preference for newer vs older Chucky, I was pretty lukewarm on Child’s play 1-3 until Bride of Chucky which I found to be very fun and clever. It actually made me want to rewatch and reevaluate the earlier films but also hooked me into everything that followed. I love all of it. There is no dividing line for me in terms of enjoyment or quality. I recently made my Gen Z boyfriend watch the whole series including the TV show. He liked all of it as well, and much to my surprise he is a big defender of Child’s Play 3. I had expected him to gravitate more toward the new stuff, but he expressed a lot of respect for the storytelling and visual effects of the original trilogy.
Ha, well, this was entertaining to watch so thanks for making it! Definitely do NOT agree with your assessments of many of these filmmakers but we'll have that! You expressed a disinterest in older films and black and white films, but do you also have an aversion to non-English language films? There are a lot of great Asian, European and South American filmmakers from the past few decades that would be worth checking out if you're not.
Five Most Overrated Horror Directors Here:
1. James Wan - Started out with promise but the studio system absolutely ruined this guy's potential. The Conjuring is a crushing bore; a dull rehash of hoary haunted house tropes with absolutely nothing new to offer and an annoying over-reliance on "boo!" soundtrack cues for cheap jump scares. Worst for me though is his refusal to take chances. His entire shtick as "dependable studio director" is to cast the broadest net possible to capture the largest audience possible to make the most money possible. And that results in generic, unadventurous films lacking in character and personality. This is the kind of soulless filmmaking I personally can't stand though I get the appeal for viewers wanting "safe" "competent" and "polished" studio product.
2. M. Night Shyamalan - He's usually given credit for "original ideas," but they aren't so much original as they are previously undone because filmmakers found these concepts too moronic and childish to center entire films around. His dialogue is usually laughably awful, he's gotten career-worst performances out of many talented actors, he's so arrogant he keeps giving himself roles even though he cannot act and his films are all about as edgy as a cue ball. Lots of bleh, maudlin dramatics trying to capture Spielbergian "quirky-whimsy" in the same way Tim Burton tries (and fails) to do it. Too forced. Too calculated. Too obvious.
3. Sam Raimi - I don't dislike him at all but his entire reputation as a horror icon doesn't rest on much actual product, now does it? The Evil Dead is brilliant (the first one at least), but what else do we have? While fun, ED2 is just a bigger-budgeted rehash of the first with more slapstick (it also recycles the same great camera shots from the first), while Army of Darkness is just disposable silly fun. Drag Me to Hell is decent at best. He did his (one) thing well enough I guess but he's nowhere near the Carpenter, Craven, Cronenberg or Romero leagues.
4. The most impressive thing about Eli Roth is his talent at riding the right coattails (first David Lynch, then Tarantino) to even have a career in the first place. He's not only an extremely poor writer but also has next to no distinctive style unless you consider forcing viewers to tolerate consistently obnoxious / repellent characters as style. By contrast, Rob Zombie is also a terrible writer but at least has good visual ideas, so I'd take his work over Roth's on the basis I can still enjoying looking at parts of it on mute. I also think horror fans tend to treat both of these guys with kid's gloves since they're both enthusiastic horror fans themselves. Unfortunately, all of the trivia knowledge in the world doesn't translate over to films that are worth a damn.
5. Tom Holland is such a huge disappointment to me. Sure, he directed two good films but everything else (The Langoliers, Thinner, The Temp, Twisted Tales, etc.) was pretty awful. Kind of reminds me of Hooper in that regard, having a couple of notable early genre credits but then falling into crap. Holland basically morphed into Mick Garris 2.0 after 1988, which is a far cry from the early talent he showed.

Cody literally had me stressed out with Wes Craven 🤣🤣 he already put my favorite director in not for me (I get it, Tim Burton is for a specific audience), Wes is my second favorite. With Freddy and Ghostface, that man owned the 80s and 90s. I was like "oh Cody loves Freddy, Wes is easily going into Horror Heroes." Then he started talking and I was like "Cody I swear to god" 😂😂
The Tim Burton hate is wild af. Also, hes got 20 films, not 30, so bare minimum your percentage of liked films is way better.
Sorry, but Brian De Palma should not be here! He has made one horror movie, Carrie, and thats it! You just broke your own rule you said in the beginning.
He also made Sisters, Body Double, Dressed To Kill, Raising Cain, and The Fury. These are all well within the acceptable boundaries of horror. Wow, you were so off LOL.
@@davidparker527 you clearly don't understand genres! Those are thrillers...
Love Fright Night, one of the best vamp movies. Love it ... but Tom Holland's other work is .... errrr not great. The Langoliers, Thinner and other films don't make him a great horror director, but not a terrible one either. I do give him props for the script of Psycho 2, and Fright Night, which is absolutely brilliant.
The Midnight Meat Train is a Ryuhei Kitamura directed film, not Clive Barker. It's only based on a Barker story, and he was a producer, but he did not direct it.
36:15 Have you seen any films by Julia Ducournau? Chloe Okuno is also a director to follow. From what I understand, she only has one feature length movie so far (Watcher), but she also made a few good short films. Thought she was supposed to do the next Fear Street movie as well. Don't know what happened to that one.
Kind of funny how you have two gay directors in the "I WANT TO LOVE YOU" category.
No Argento, clearly one of the greatest horror directors ever? You should’ve waited until you’d seen more of his films before you put this together. It would be like leaving John Ford off a list of Western directors cause you’d only seen “The Searchers.”
Ahhh yes, Jordan Peele should take a note from Cody Leach on storytelling, even though Jordan's movies are overwhelmingly liked, and Cody's favorite movie is about a talking doll. Please give him lessons on believable storytelling!
I know he didn't do a lot but Marcus Nispel would have been a fun addition to this. His 2003 version of TCM is right behind the original for me as the best in the franchise.
Unpopular opinion... I don't care much about Hitchcock. Classics for sure, but they haven't aged well at all.
Midnight Meat Train wasn't even directed by Clive. It was directed by Ryuhei Kitamura based on a story by Clive.
I’ll defend urban legends of Bloody Mary 😂😂💯 it’s not mind blowing but it’s more of a “hm yeah this was early 2000s” kind of have a Freddy energy with the reasoning why she’s killing.
I totally agree on this one John Carpenter is an absolute legend! The Thing is probably my all time favorite movie also. I like all the versions but Carpenters the best. I could have sworn Bruce Campbell was in a The Thing type movie but couldn't remember what movie.
I had to rewatch “Midsommar.” I hated it the first time. Love it the second time! And every time since! Even after rewatching, I didn’t like “Hereditary.”
Tom holland directed Stephen king's The langoliers which is a guilty pleasure of mine
I knew the heat was coming with that introduction to Tim Burton, but THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST?! I mean I respect it if that’s your taste but damn, I just figured a name of that pedigree would’ve been at least a little higher. But just gonna reiterate I respect the honesty you give, can’t be mad
For Wes craven you also forgot wishmaster which I really enjoy. He wasn’t the director but was the producer for it🤷♂️
I know Jeremy Saulnier is on the fence for this list since he hasn’t made enough movies. But between Green Room, Blue Ruin and Murder Party, where would he go for you? Green Room especially is easily the most tense I’ve felt in the theater for the last decade
Evil dead was garbage. Practical effects and gore don’t make a good horror film. The characters decisions were so dumb you would think they were under the influence like the characters in cabin in the woods.
Where is Ridley Scott? I know he's known for non-horror movies... But he has Hannibal, Alien and two alien prequels. Plus legend has a lot of horror elements. I feel like he meats the criteria as well as Brian De Palma.
Romero also direct the Creepshow and that was awesome. That’s my favorite movie of his. I’m not much into zombies.
