Horror is divided into a BR and AR... Before Romero and After - just like DemonRail cleverly points out.
No doubt he is the single most important director in the genre if we're talking about last decades.
Carpenter added to that with his different approach to film making, and Cronenberg (who started off with big debts of gratitude in the Romerian dept. of Ideas - i.e. RABID, SHIVERS...) took a different direction as well.
Lynch prolly does not qualify as a horror director so he prolly should not be listed here, but a lot of his movies surely got me scared shitless... Mullholland Dr. being the finest example.
These 4 dudes are unbeatable IMHO.
It's cool to see true appreciation for this kinda things in here.
