Wes Craven, the famed writer-director of horror films known for the Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream movies, died Sunday after a battle with brain cancer. He was 76.
Source Wow, I didn't even know he had brain cancer. This is so shocking. So many of his films are some of my all-time favorites. RIP. |

I always thought Wes Craven was cool, although I hadn't seen many of his movies. I'm gonna have to get over my Freddy fear and finally watch A Nightmare on Elm Street out of respect.

I didn't think he was as old as 76.
He's definitely one of the greatest and most influential horror directors ever. He has at least 5 or 6 classics.
I'm glad he decided to make a fourth Scream movie although I never thought at the time it would be his final film. It ended up being a pretty fitting end to his career though.

My favorite of his films, tbh. That, New Nightmare, Scream and even Scream 4 really changed the game. I'm gonna be watching for any of the actors who've worked with him to tweet their condolences. So far Sarah Michelle Gellar has. |

Also, it wasn't his best film, but some parts of The Serpent and the Rainbow were really creepy. I only saw that for the first time a couple years ago. |

I finally saw A Nightmare on Elm Street last night, and now after 18 years I can finally say I'm over my fear of Freddy Krueger. It was an amazing movie, but it really wasn't as scary as I thought it was going to be - but then again, there's no way it could have been as scary as I imagined, lol.
Anyway, I plan on watching Dream Warriors and New Nightmare soon, because I've heard they're the only sequels worth watching.

I just re-watched A Nightmare on Elm Street two nights ago after not seeing it in a while, and it just reaffirmed for me that it's by far my favorite horror movie. Freddy and Nancy imo are the best written villain and heroine duo, and the music is just perfect. But yeah, those other two are really the only other ones worth bothering with. New Nightmare in particular is almost as good as the original. |

Part two might be worth watching too, in a so bad it's funny way. It's so homoerotic.
