Wes Craven – dies at age 76 – August 30, 2015
He created two highly successful horror film series in Nightmare and Scream and one of the lasting Icons in Horror. As well known as Frankenstein, Dracula, and The Wolfman, Freddy Kruger is a name that will live on forever. Craven’s wonderful work as a director carried the horror genre through many decades. Thanks for your great films and dark visions…thanks for the scares.

Such a shame, I absolutely love the original Nightmare On Elm Street. RIP Wes.
So sad, Craven will be missed a lot.
May he rest in peace.
Such a major bummer. Nightmare on Elm Street is one of my top 5 or so horror flicks of all time.
