He’s up there but current reigning champ I think is Mike Flanagan. If we’re talking greatest horror influencers of all time, I think it’s between Hitchcock, Stephen King, and Lovecraft.

Edit: it’s an opinion guys. Yes, there are many other amazing horror influencers. Chill. Don’t know why I’m getting downvoted. It’s like y’all are a bunch of comic book guys from the Simpsons.

Romero is cool too but he really didn’t have that many great films compared to the three I listed. He had the Dead trilogy, The crazies, and Creepshow and that’s pretty much it. Obviously still a legend for those films

I'm with you. Oculus, Gerard's Game, Hush, and obviously his 4(!) awesome Netflix shows... Flanagan is the current horror king.
