What Director should direct a Friday the 13th film?
1st Pick: Tom Mcloughlin
2nd Pick: Adam Green
3rd Pick: John Carpenter
The main man himself who helped change the horror genre with the Halloween series is obviously going to be my pick!! The man created a Slasher Icon! And yet I don't know how he feels towards Jason Voorhees but I feel that if he's behind the helm for a Friday the 13th Film I am sure we will get something new and yet authentic 80s movie!
Honorable Mention: John Carl Buechler
The late and great John Carl Buechler helped cement his legacy when he brought Kane Hodder to play his Jason Voorhees and from what I know and remeber, he had a plan for a sequel to his film: Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood where Jason (Kane Hodder ofc) is on a ruthless mission to hunt and kill Tina through a hospital and I am sure if he was still here and given a chance? He would definitely had it made!! R.I.P. John Carl Buechler!!!
Honorable Mention: Vincente DeSantis
A Fan-Film director for Never Hike Alone and his own Jason Voorhees is Vincente DeSantis on my Honorable list because we know companies won't literally hire us true fans to direct a movie and so I wanted to mention Vincente because his work for his own fanfilm series is actually well made and worth the watch since we haven't had a new film in many years and it's nice to see a fresh take on the series that doesn't make it ridiculous!!

Well, we can't get the last three. I'd be happy with either of the first two.

Would he even THINK about touching the franchise?

I vote for Ridley Scott myself. He was an ace with atmosphere

How would you convince him to do a slasher movie? Has he done one already?

Its not a far stretch, at least as I see it. Look at the setting he created for Alien. Substitute an isolated camp ground for the Nostromo and Jason for the zenomorph, add in a decent script, and you have a good slasher flick. Given what he did in Blade Runner, I'd bet he'd done Part 8 JGTM way different

I think Robert Eggers might be an interesting choice. The dude knows how to handle atmosphere and suspense, which in my opinion is the strongest part of the original Halloween, since we've brought up Carpenter.
Bobcat Goldthwait might be another one I'd like to see. He showed with Willow Creek that he can make a successful film (at least in my opinion) with a Carpenter-esque minimalist approach. Seeing as how slasher films are typically low-budget productions, I think he might be a good fit.

Of course, we still have to get people to agree to a movie!!!!

Back in the day, I wanted Tom Savini to direct one. He’s pretty much said not again after the experience he had doing the Night Of The Living Dead remake but I think after all the experience he had being a part of the Friday The 13th franchise, he would have been the best choice for awhile.
Vincente DeSantis would be a fantastic choice as well. The guy works his tail off and you can tell he would have put everything possible into the movie to make sure it was awesome.

It may still be hard to please everyone.
