Master of Cinema - Wes Craven

[@shadowman2192]

A little over a year before he passed away. I mailed Wes a fan letter along with my novel of “New Nightmare” Asking him to sign it for me. About 2 weeks later I got a package from him. He had signed my book as well as an autographed photo of him. And a stationary note thanking me for my letter. I asked for one autograph. But he gave me 3. I have them framed. Such a wonderful man.

[@danseth5775]

Lucky!!! How did you know where to mail the letter to? I wanna ask John Carpenter

[@shadowman2192]

@@danseth5775 I just looked up how to send him a fan letter.

[@wangson]

Oh man! What a great memento(s) of Wes Craven - one of the best to have ever done it!

[@GoreyBits]

Wes Craven is a Master of Horror that will always be missed.

[@moshomaniac1]

I remember the first time I saw Wes in an interview and was taken aback by how smart, articulate, and mild mannered he was. Indeed, he said on several occasions that people expected him to be like Charles Manson instead of the person that he was.

[@n.b.l.5709]

Lol

[@ToniH.-cn8uw]

I feel like people felt the same about George Romero, but in all the interviews I've seen, he seemed like such a a kind hearted man... 😊

[@SweetNightmareASMR]

Wes is my favourite horror director. I could listen to him talk all day, something about him comforts me 💖

[@evenflow5491]

One of the best things about watching Cravens films is, even when the overall quality of the movies themselves may not have been amazing, they were very deep in filmic language and psychological logic. Every beat feels thought out and structured in a really good way

[@BooneLuleyo]

The Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Serpent and the Rainbow, The People Under the Stairs, New Nightmare, Vampire in Brooklyn, Scream, Red Eye... So many great movies! Rip Wes Craven.

[@AldenRDavis]

Don’t forget Deadly Friend, Shocker and Swamp Thing.

Hills Have Eyes 2

[@bradendalhouse7247]

The Hills Have Eyes- One of the most terrifying films I’ve ever seen A Nightmare on Elm Street- One of the most visually creative and pure films I’ve ever seen New Nightmare- Another of the most visually creative. One of the best ‘sequels’. My Soul to Take- One of the most interesting films I’ve ever seen. I love Wes Craven and hope to see the rest of his films soon!

[@michaeldiamond2755]

Wes spent his career fighting censorship and had a reputation for being protective of young actresses. #legend

Unfortunately he was working with Harvey Weinstein.

Yay algorithm for having this old upload appear in our feeds.

[@CordlessCinema]

Just visualizing Wes Craven reading a comic book, is officially the coolest mental image I have ever had.

[@Adam-qv2bd]

He's probably the most intellectual horror filmmaker. John Carpenter too.

[@ebiros2]

Craven's movie had substance. They never failed to entertain. He had good focus.

[@z31rider24]

I saw Swapthing in 82 in Southern Cali. when i was 7 years old and loved it! I was i Awe... Nightmare on Elm street as a young kid was so real to me. Very Unique Director. May Mr. Craven rest in eternal peace.

[@darrenross4008]

wes craven will be missed.

Picture this: Wes and Romero, having drinks together, in the afterlife. One helluva conversation they're having I'll bet. Rest well, fellas.

[@ZekeThePlumber86]

I really think they separated from other horror movies at the time, where it was mostly silent masked killers. Still my favorite horror character of all time!

[@GabrielTheMagolorMain]

Such a legend.

[@schmeltingaccident]

He also did Music From The Heart, an interesting movie from a master of horror. I believe he always wanted to branch outside horror but always got drawn back in, probably because of money/work, but I also believe he loved his fans and always wanted to do right by them. Rest In Peace!

Myeika Royal Stephen King doesn't make horror movies. Infact sometimes he down right despises the adaptations of his books. I get what you're saying, I just had to clarify.
