Hey
I think it's cool that you have that kind of interest at a young age!. Don't focus so much on the "Famous Director" part, just focus on your love and passion for movies!. I know I am a big movie geek and I could honestly watch movies all day!
Ok so what do you do to become a good director!?
The best way to become a director is to essentially watch as many movies as possible!. Study what the camera is filming and how a certain scene is being filmed, like why is the director shooting from this angle and not that one!? Study the actors, don't just watch!.
To "make it" as a director is a very tough thing, cause there are many people out there competing with you!. Don't be discouraged!. If you have enough talent and ambition you could make it!.
You could go to school and study film!. Buy or borrow a camera and start filming ****!. Just go and do it!.
I think it's good you have already written your own screenplays!. Keep writing and eventually your stories will get better and better!. Maybe if you think you have a good enough story you could send it out to studios or producers who are willing to invest in your story!.
You should also watch the directors commentaries, and the behind the scenes footage and all that good ****!. It will really help you understand the directors job a lot more!.

I say, don't wait until you graduate, life's too short! Enter a film fest!. Period pieces and high intense action movies get noticed the most!. Maybe do a Green Lantern Super Hero movie or Captain America!. Mob movies get noticed a lot too! One thing I always found sooooo interesting was kids our age (13-16) getting kick out of the house during the Great Depression and had to become hobos!. Hope I helped!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Horror films are movies that strive to elicit fright, fear, terror, or horror from viewers!. In horror film plots, evil forces, events, or characters, sometimes of supernatural origin, intrude into the everyday world!. Horror movies usually include a central villain!. Early horror films often drew inspiration from characters and stories from classic literature, such as Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Wolf Man, Phantom of the Opera and Dr!. Jekyll and Mr!. Hyde!. Later horror films, in contrast, often drew inspiration from the insecurities of life after World War II, giving rise to the three distinct, but related, sub-genres: the horror-of-personality film, the horror-of-Armageddon film, and the horror-of-the-demonic film!. The last sub-genre may be seen as a modernized transition from the earliest horror films, expanding on their emphasis on supernatural agents that bring horror to the world!.[1]
Horror films have been criticized for their graphic violence and dismissed as low budget B-movies and exploitation films!. Nonetheless, all the major studios and many respected directors, including Alfred Hitchcock, Roman Polanski, Stanley Kubrick and Francis Ford Coppola, have made forays into the genre!. Serious critics have analyzed horror films through the prisms of genre theory and the auteur theory!. Some horror films incorporate elements of other genres such as science fiction, fantasy, mockumentary, black comedy, and thrillers!. Many horror films are in the public domain (e!.g!. The Little Shop of Horrors, Night of the Living Dead, The Terror, Suspiria, Embryo)!.[2]
The horror genre is nearly as old as film itself!. The first depictions of supernatural events appear in several of the silent shorts created by film pioneers such as Georges Méliès in the late 1890s, the most notable being his 1896 Le Manoir du diable (aka "The House of the Devil") which is sometimes credited as being the first horror film!. Another of his horror projects was 1898's La Caverne maudite (aka "The Cave of the Demons", literally "the accursed cave")!. [3] Japan made early forays into the horror genre with Bake Jizo and Shinin no Sosei, both made in 1898!.[4] In 1910, Edison Studios produced the first film version of Frankenstein, thought lost for many years, film collector Alois Felix Dettlaff Sr!. found a copy and had a 1993 rerelease!.[5] It can now be viewed on youtube!.[6][7]
The early 20th century brought more milestones for the horror genre including the first monster to appear in a full-length horror film, Quasimodo, the hunchback of Notre-Dame who had appeared in Victor Hugo's book, "Notre-Dame de Paris" (published in 1831)!. Films featuring Quasimodo included Alice Guy's Esmeralda (1906), The Hunchback (1909), The Love of a Hunchback (1910) and Notre-Dame de Paris (1911)!. [8]
Many of the earliest feature length 'horror films' were created by German film makers in 1910s and 1920s, during the era of German Expressionist films!. Many of these films would significantly influence later Hollywood films!. Paul Wegener's The Golem (1915) was seminal; in 1920 Robert Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr!. Caligari, with its Expressionist style, would influence film-makers from Orson Welles to Tim Burton and many more for decades!. The era also produced the first vampire-themed feature, F!. W!. Murnau's Nosferatu (1922), an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula!. [9] Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927), though more of a science fiction film, is considered a landmark film of the German Expressionist era!.
Early Hollywood dramas dabbled in horror themes, including versions of The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) and The Monster (1925) (both starring Lon Chaney, Sr!., the first American horror movie star)!. His most famous role, however, was in The Phantom of the Opera (1925), perhaps the true predecessor of Universal's famous horror series!. [10]
1930s & 1940s
It was in the early 1930s that American film producers, particularly Universal Pictures Co!. Inc!., popularized the horror film, bringing to the screen a series of successful Gothic features including Dracula (1931), and The Mummy (1932), some of which blended science fiction films with Gothic horror, such as James Whale's Frankenstein (1931) and The Invisible Man (1933)!. Tod Browning, director of Dracula, also made the extremely controversial Freaks based on Spurs by Ted Robbins, it is about a band of circus freaks!. It was so controversial the studio burned about 30 minutes and disowned it!. These films, while designed to thrill, also incorporated more serious elements, and were influenced by the German expressionist films of the 1920s!. Some actors began to build entire careers in such films, most notably Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi!.
In 1931, Fritz Lang released his epic thriller M, which chillingly told the story of a serial killer of children, played by Peter Lorre!.
Other studios of the day had less spectacular success, but Rouben Mamoulian's Dr!. Jekyll and Mr!. Hyde (Paramount, 1931) and Michael Curtiz's Mystery of the Wax Museum (Warner Brothers, 1933) were both important horror films!.
Universal's horror films continued into the 1940s with The Wolf Man 1941, not the first werewolf film, but certainly the most influential!. Throughout the decade Universal also continued to produce more sequels in the Frankenstein series, as well as a number of films teaming up several of their monsters!. also in that decade, Val Lewton would produce atmospheric B-pictures for RKO Pictures, including Cat People (1942), I Walked with a Zombie (1943) and The Body Snatcher (1945)!.
The first horror film produced by an Indian film industry was Mahal, a Hindi film!. It was a supernatural thriller and the earliest known film dealing with the theme of reincarnation!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
