Don Coscarelli isn't actually an inept director in my opinion. But he's certainly had an odd filmic career -- the first (and maybe most successful) Phantasm was a cult hit (it looked great to me when I saw it back in the day, and was very scary), but then he got obsessed with the concept and kept making variant versions on a bigger budget. I notice that he's making a fifth.
And he got to be a Master of Horror. His episode "Incident On and Off a Mountain Road" -- wasn't my favourite but it was pretty well done.

And Angus Scrimm was in it.
