This set from Dracula is a lavish feast for the eyes. Universal spared no expense on setting to draw viewer into a nightmare. It works to such great effect

Is John Carpenter the greatest horror director of all time?

Many go to Alfred Hitchcock (although not a pure horror film director) and it would be difficult to not agree. Psycho I think changed horror forever and you cannot overstate his influence on suspenseful filmmaking. But I think John Carpenter has the strongest case between Halloween, The Thing, The Fog, etc... He almost should be considered the greatest just for composing the Halloween theme music that I think is the most iconic horror theme music of all time...to me even over Jaws. Hitchcock may be the most influential even outside of horror with Carpenter the greatest horror filmmaker. Or does someone else have a solid argument such as Wes Craven?
