[Cullen]

Every director listed so far (in Will and Chris K.'s posts) I have seen and would watch more movies by with four exceptions:

1.)  and 2.) Andy Milligan and David L. Hewitt:  Haven't seen any of their films.  Yet.
3.) Herschell Gordon Lewis:  I've seen "Blood Feast."  Don't need to see any more.
4.) Larry Buchanan:  "Curse of the Swamp Creature" and "It's Alive!" has burned away far too many of my little grey cells.   No more.  Please.

Two directors I'd like to add to the list are Val Guest (director of the "Quartermass Xperiment" and "X the Unknown") and Terrence Fisher (director of "Horror of Dracula")

Michael Soavi (stage fright and the church dvds coming out in a few months), Dario Argento, Mario Bava, Lamberto Bava, Peter Jackson, Paul Naschy (mark of the wolfman and curse of the devil coming out by anchor bay eventually), George Romero, Jorge Grau, Lucio Fulci, Dan O' Bannon, Frank Hennenlotter, Bob clark, Armando de Ossorio. Think that covers most of them.

My mistake they are releasing curse of the devil and werewolf vs the vampire woman. I have seen them both before. They are probably the best I have seen out of the Waldemar series (others I have seen include fury of the wolfman, night of the howling beast, dr Jekyll and the wolfman.) I was hoping for one of his other wolfman films to be released. Found out about it at naschy.com when I checked under the dvd section. Just finished reading his autobiography so my interest in Naschy has been raised quite a bit. Nice to see his movies finally being released with dvd uncut hopefully. He's pretty depressed and feels pretty bitter about his career so maybe the releases will help him with his next wolfman film.

There are only a few directors I look forward when I heard they are preparing movies. I would watch anything directed by John Carpenter or Clint Eastwood. Unconditionaly. I don't care if it is a western, a musical or a porno movie.
