John Carpenter vs Wes Craven

I favor John Carpenters movies more. Better acting, movies, and it just makes more sense.
You?

Wes gave us the Nightmare on Elm Streets, so him, and he sure knows how to scare an audience, Leather you should have made this a pole. ✅

John Carpenter has more mainstream movies to his name, sure. But Craven created my all time fave horror movies of all time; The Scream Trilogy. So Craven definitlely gets my vote ✅

Both were the masters at their time, and both ended up fizzling out, thanks to below par sequels to their movies.

However, Wes Craven was the only one to really have a comeback after somewhat of an 80's slump with me and Soth's franchise, "Scream".

That said, advantage Craven.

Ghosts of Mars??? please...

Craven has this one...

For me, Craven only ever did two GOOD horror films... THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT and THE HILLS HAVE EYES... neither of which I'm a MAJOR fan of.

On the other hand Carpenter made HALOWEEN which is landmark on what can be done with the stalk'n''slash genre without employing the talents of Tom Savini. And then there's THE THING. 🤘

Heads for Craven, tails for Carpenter. Tails wins! 😄

That's the point. Carpenter hasn't done anything since the mid 80's. He had his brainchild ruined, just like Craven did.

Craven actually picked up the pieces, and did something else inventive.

They are abut equal as far as ingenuity, but Craven has the longevity, no matter how many mistakes he had along the way.

Is hard to pick one. I'm more of a Clive Barker movie watcher.

Carpenter isn't solely a horror director, otherwise I would vote for Craven, but carpenter has made other films, They live, Escape from New York, and the horrors he has made have been good, Halloween, The Fog, overall I think Carpenter is the better film maker.

so Wes Craven. It's obvios. the movies are better 😄

6 Craven and 3 Carpenter 1 Barker :{

:$

😄

craven wins by a landslide!

both are great.

im not voting for this specific topic.

My opinion is that Cravens only movies worth watching were The Scream Trilogy. Carpenter has awesome films such as: Halloween, The Thing, Vampires, The Hills Have Eyes, etc.
