He was a master.

It was just perfect how that worked out.

He's still the master. If you look at modern horror (our lifetime and a little before)....it's him, George A Romero, John Carpenter and a few others that really molded the horror we have, know and love. Every single horror writer and director have drawn influence from those guys for the last quarter century. It's like going to school.
