There is a select group of filmmakers whose influence on the film industry is so significant that they have earned the right to fail time and time again; even if Steven Spielberg makes nothing but terrible films from now on (a prospect that seems unlikely), he will still always be the man who createdJaws, Jurassic Park, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Schindler’s List,andSaving Private Ryan. While John Carpenter and Francis Ford Coppola haven’t made many interesting films in the last two decades, they are still responsible for so many classics that it’s impossible to deny them the right to try things out....

Plenty of Oscar-nomintaed thespians had no problem making horror flicks on the way up....

The 1990s were a very special time. We had the Clinton Administration, rolled-up jeans, and horror movies. Lots and lots and horror movies. This seems to be the way it’s always been. They’re cheap to make, the stories don’t have to be amazing, and when the plot gets slow, throw in some violence, nudity (or both), and watch the profits roll in. We sure had some great films back then.Silence of the Lambs,ScreamandWes Craven’s New Nightmareare just a few....
