Dario Argento
Color like a siren. Violence like choreography. Argento doesn’t just stage a murder — he turns it into a nightmare you can’t look away from.
John Carpenter
Fear stripped to its bones. Carpenter builds dread from silence, space, and inevitability — horror reduced to its most enduring structure.
