Today, one of the most inspirational and greatest directors has left us with the passing of one of the masters of horror, Wes Craven. Films as iconic as Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes, Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream have redefined the genre in how we look at films. As well, think about the characters he has created and introduced us to. Think about the genre without Freddy or any of his iconic characters. I am telling you, it's a world I don't even want to think about. I am still shocked about the news overall! A man this iconic and one that has inspired so many people is now gone. He is actually one of the few directors that I will buy a movie of based on his name alone being listed under director. That is because that, I know, no matter how bad a movie may be in the hands of another, in his hands (and a few others) they may be entertaining and enjoyable. So, goodbye Mr. Craven as you will be missed. Know that your movies and characters will continue to not only cause nightmares for some but inspire many more to create.
