Wes Craven vs John Carpenter

Wes Craven vs John Carpenter

Who's the all time king of movies? Craven has Serpent and the Rainbow, Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes, Scream and most notably Nightmare on Elmstreet. Carpenter has The Fog, The Thing, and most notably Halloween. So who's the best?

Romero beats them both, simply for his Zombie trilogy.

John Carpenter

Any reasons's why you chose Carpenter over Craven?

Actually I think they have made some great films both of them, but Wes Craven made the Scream films, which I hate. Why?

But I don't think any of them are the all time king of movies.

Oooops... I ment all time king of horor movies.

Old craven flicks were great, but his newr ones are just sad. So now im comparing new carpenter flicks with new craven flicks. They both pretty much suck anymore, but carpenter has been more entertianing lately

It is ok 🙂 But I don't think any of them are the all time king of horror movies either.

i dont like either much but my vote goes to neither.

UH.........JOHN CARPENTER...DUH!!!!!
-escape from new york
-big trouble in little china
-the thing
-halloween
just to name a few of his best movies. 😮‍💨

Escape From NY kicked a$$!

What are their newer flicks?

I've only seen Halloween from Carpenter and Scream for Craven, and they're both genius, so it's a toss-up at this point

Wes 😉

Scream's great

wes did do the freedy saga so give him credit but u got to hand it to john halloween rocks sept number 3 season of the wicth that was rubish

"wes did do the freedy saga so give him credit "

No.......Wes did the original movie and New Nightmare.....he did not write/direct/produce any of the crappy sequels.

Wes Craven beats Carpenter hands down..........why people are considering Escape from New York or Big Trouble in Little China as horror movies I will never understand. Both are great flicks.....but have nothing to do with the horror genre.

My vote goes to craven

wes craven all the way!
