eerieindianaJoe Dante just pips John Carpenter for me, but it's damn close.

Absolutely, he's often overlooked.

The Thing is probably my favourite film of all time, but Dante's work has probably influenced me the most (Eerie, Indiana / Gremlins / The 'Burbs / Small Soldiers and even The Hole).
He manages to make horror gleeful & dark at the same time.
