Why is he considered a "Master of Horror"?

Just because of Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream? And then everything else on his filmography is mediocre to awful...

The Hills Have Eyes
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Scream
Those 3 films alone confirm his legendary status in the horror genre.

He was certainly a trendsetter, changing the landscape of horror on a few occasions. Last House On the Left, The Hills Have Eyes, A Nightmare On Elm Street and Scream are all very influential.
He has had a few stinkers. The Hills Have Eyes Part 2 and Shocker were pretty bad. I did like People Under the Stairs. That one was decent.
