Sam Raimi - Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness, Crimewave, Darkman, The Gift {Sam also directed the 1st 2 Spiderman movies, The Quick & The Dead, and A Simple Plan.}


Peter Jackson - Bad Taste, Braindead (aka Dead Alive), The Frighteners (Peter also made the Lord of the Rings trilogy and King Kong.)





2 directors that started out in the sloppy gore genre but have worked their ways all the way to being mega Hollywood players....


Who will come out on top?

wowzers - this one is tough . . . i like them both a great deal. . . but. . . boy. . . oh, pooh nuts


PETER JACKSON

Sam Raimi

SAM

Raimi

Ouch.....gotta go with Sam Raimi.

Raimi

Since 'King Kong' dragged on forever in what I'd consider to be the closest contest yet, I'll have to go with Raimi on this.

6-1 Sam Raimi leads Peter Jackson!

Can PJ pull off the comeback???



Need more votes..............

They both have made some incredible films, but I have to say Sam Raimi comes out on top.

If this were the 'Directors Tournament' then it'd be a hard match but it's the 'Horror Directors Tournament', so imo it's Raimi hands down.

...
 

I'm going to say Peter Jackson to keep it alive since I can't decide. Don't care for his new stuff at all but oh well.

Sam's early stuff was good but got a bit weker, all of Jacksons work is solid, so Jackson.

Peter Jackson

Dead alive and Evil Dead are my two favorite horror films of all time. this is a tough one...I'd have to say Peter jackson, because Riami has some crappy ones under his belt, whilst all of PJ's films are phenomonal. both are both excellent either way.

Peter Jackson

Raimi Raimi Raimi!

Sam Raimi

10-6 Sam Raimi manages to fend off Peter Jackson, who made a surge at the end, but it was too little too late.

Next match coming right up.

The Valley and Meet the Feebles(among a couple others) are phenomenal?

Round 1 - Match 5


Stuart Gordon - Re-Animator, From Beyond, Dolls, The Pit & The Pendulum (1990), Castle Freak, Dagon, King of the Ants {Stuart is currently working on a horror film called Stuck, due out in 2007.}

Don Coscarelli - Phantasm, Phantasm 2, Phantasm 3, Phantasm 4 and Bubba Ho-Tep {Don also directed The Beastmaster ad is currently working on a prequel to Bubba Ho-Tep called Bubba Nosferatu.}


First one to 7 votes wins.

Gordon

Wonder who'd get Bwinds vote?:D

Haha. No kidding. He's lucky he made Bubba Ho-Tep or he wouldn't have even been put in this tournament to begin with!

I'll go with Gordon just because we had on his episode from the 'Masters of Horror' series and I've been impersonating him ever since :D
