15 Influential Directors Who Changed the Horror Genre Forever

On the one hand, we are super grateful for all of Tobe Hooper's contributions to the horror universe. On the other hand, our subconscious could really do without some of the terrible images he's planted there for eternity. For starters Hooper's 1974 film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre effectively crossed Texas off our travel bucket list, and his 1982 film Poltergeist still gives us the heebie-jeebies when we see a clown. It was so good, it was nominated for three Academy Awards. But, it's not all horror for the director. Our Hooper fun fact is that he directed Billy Idol's "Dancing with Myself" music video.
