Carpenter. However, Guillermo del Toro isn't done...yet.  

I wish Hollywood would get out of del Toro's way,  so he could direct his vision of Lovecraft's " At The Mountains of Madness".  I know it would be a horror Masterpiece.

Pan's Labyrinth and The Devil's Backbone are actually splendid movies, and not just horror flicks.
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

^ I don't "have to" choose one, as I put a "both" option there.

^ No, I haven't. Thank you for the recommendation.

Indeed, I prefer del Toro's earlier stuff too.

I'll watch Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars soon. Hope I'll like it.

I didn't like the second Hellboy. I've seen El Espinazo... but it's been ages ago so I don't remember it well. I haven't seen Cronos. Maybe I should fix that, I think those early ones might be better than his later films. 

Speaking of Hellboy, btw, have you read the comics? Or other Mike Mignola stuff? I'll recommend them very highly.
