sad day.

Didn't realize he did Swamp Thing:

Looking over his life's work, I wonder what HE had nightmares about when he slept...

Probably Swamp Thing's reviews...

Wes Craven had some great work (Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream, etc), but he had a bunch of sequels and flops. I think he lost his "magic" years back, but I am still fond of a lot of his works.

He officially scared the shit out of me when I was young watching Nightmare On Elm Street. Now it's just comical.

Sad day for horror fans.

 

[Spacehead]

Lots of entertaining movies when i was younger.

The People Under The Stairs was great, especially if you've watched Twin Peaks: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105121/?ref_=nm_flmg_wr_18

RIP spooky guy.

 

[BoomerD]

I saw this earlier. Anyone else hope he went out in some scary nightmarish way?

 

[Paratus]

He didn't die in his sleep did he?

I hate cancer. Rest in peace, Wes.

Not to mention he had a name that was just perfect for the genre. I mean, if you heard about some new, obscure horror movie coming out and had never heard of Wes Craven:



"Hey, who's that new psycho vampire movie that's supposed to be too hardcore to even get a NC-17 rating made by?"

"Some guy named Ronald White."

"Oh, nevermind, sounds lame."


Versus:


"Hey, who's that new psycho vampire movie that's supposed to be too hardcore to even get a NC-17 rating made by?"

"Some guy named Wes Craven."

"F&$^ that S&@*, the movie sounds like it's going to melt my soul."



The only way it could get better is if his name was "Zal'drakthu, Bane of the Light" or something.

RIP.

Brain cancer is a horrible way to go.

May he RIP. His films were all entertaining.

Just one mention of his name brings tingles to my spine. Most of his movies brought images of some unforeseen horror nearby lurking and waiting to pounce on me.
RIP.
