What's Your Ultimate Assembly of Horror Directors!?


This thread probably exists somewhere on the Masters of Horror boards but I wanna start another. Just to see who was left out of both Masters of Horror and Fear Itself and who could make a great return.

My ULTIMATE DIRECTOR's list would be:

-David Cronenburg (It would be awesome to see him to return to stuff like Videodrome and the Fly. He's a horror legend.
-Guillermo Del Toro (Holy $hit would that be awesome!)
-Quentin Tarintino (You know with From Dusk til Dawn and Death Proof this guys probably got a lot of ideas for horror flicks that he justs needs a chance to realize.
-Peter Jackson (The return to splatter that fans have been waiting for!)
-Wes Craven (why the *uck didn't he do a MoH or FI)
-Ken Russell (Just watch Lair of the White Worm)
-Robert Rodrieguez
-Reuniting of Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro (Delicatesson, City of Lost Children, Dante 01, Alien 4)
-Sam Raimi (I think he would jump at the chance. Maybe even a re-uniting with the Coen Brothers.)
-Michael Soavi (He's gotta make atleast one more horror flick before he dies.)
-Richard Stanely (Dust Devil, Hardware, and apparently working on something with Bruce Cambell)
-Paul Vorhoeven (Robocop, Starship Troopers, Total Recall, Basic Instinct)
-Boon Joon-ho (The Host, Mother, Memories of a Murder)
-A return of Takashi Miike (Hands down best MoH)
-Shinya Tsukamoto
-Satoshi Kon or Kenji NAKAMURA (Need atleast one animator)(Watch Nakamura's Goblin Cat, it's *beep* amazing.)



Screenwriters

-Diablo Cody (Again, a person who's bound to have lots of ideas they wanna do.)
-Roy Frumkes (Underated. He wrote Street Trash and the Substitute flicks)
-Karen Walton (she wrote the great script for Ginger Snaps)
-Carlton Mellick III (I would love to see an adaption of his books or have him write one for a specific director. Just look at his book covers and titles to know why.)
-Neil Gaiman
-Garth Ennis


I'm sure I'm missing a lot.

Some of these have been done already (Argento, Carpenter) on MOH and a lot of them seem to be dead so I doubt we'll get to see them :/. Good choices though and the Argento and Carpenter ones were great. I prefer Masters of Horror over this.

I gotta say Mick Garris did a GREAT job assembling some awesome horror names to both Masters of Horror and Fear Itself during their respective runs, and I'll definitely be recycling some names below.

So for a 13 episode list and choice of ANYONE, including recent filmmakers, I'd go with:

John Carpenter
John Landis
Stuart Gordon
Don Coscarelli
Tom Holland
Dario Argento
Tobe Hooper
William Friedkin
Takashi Miike
Michael Dougherty
Peter Jackson (would be EPIC)
Sam Raimi (would be even MORE EPIC)
James Wan (EPIC of EPICNESS)

if budget for one more episode, maybe David Robert Mitchell ("It Follows") or give one to Mick Garris himself!
