Wes Craven passes away at 76
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/new...ro-dies-818806
Wes Craven, the famed writer-director known for the Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream movies, died Sunday after a battle with brain cancer. He was 76. Craven, whose iconic Freddy Krueger character horrified viewers, died at his home in Los Angeles, his family announced. Craven claimed to have gotten the idea for Elm Street when living next to a cemetery on a street of that name when growing up in the suburbs of Cleveland. His five Nightmare on Elm Street films were released from 1984-89. Similarly, Craven's Scream series was a box-office sensation. In those scare-'em-ups, he spoofed the teen horror genre. The movies frequently referenced other horror movies. Deadly Friend was one of my favorite movies. |

I never knew he was the guy behind the movie Red Eye, starring Cillian Murphy and a young Rachel McAdams. Very underrated film, worth checking out if you haven't already. Not a typical Wes Craven flick. |

The writer totally missed an opportunity to troll everyone and honor Craven in the best way possible at the same time.
"He died in his sleep; foul play is suspected." |
