This is tough. Really tough. Both innovators. Both completely changed the game and their careers still affect others today. I MIGHT slide to Romero because of the social commentary and that speaks to me. But Argento made gorgeous movies

I wanted this to be a hard one.

Romero. Not even a debate.

Well I have to think now. It might come down to a simple question for me: has Argento made anything better than dawn of the dead?

Still ain't fukking with me

Spoiler

Romero. Nightof the living dead was the first zombie movie i had ever seen. Personal top 10. shyt had a black hero

Argento. Deep Red, Tenebrae, Suspiria, Inferno, Opera, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage are all terrific. Tenebrae is what really got me into giallo. Everything down from the kills to the bright red blood/color palette. Thought some of his best camera work came from this one.

 

[BXKingPin82]

Cant really go wrong with either.
But Romero.



Zombies.

I honestly need to watch more Argento films to give a fair judgement but I'm also a Romero stan, so it's probable my vote stays with him. The social commentary aspects of Romero films have always been something I mark out for and the type of approach to writing that will always win me over.

Interesting comparison as they were collaborators on several projects and seemed to be close friends. Honestly their relationship & learning about Argento’s love of the Dead series grew my appreciation for Argento.

When it comes to their individual artistic styles they obviously vary greatly. Argento’s movies seem more about unraveling mystery and enjoying visuals, but there are aspects of Italian horror overall which I have certain qualms. There are people who love the Giallo style but to me it’s no comparison; Romero’s balance of horror, storytelling and social allegory make for some of my all-time favorites in the genre.
