Thank you.
The only films of his I’ve seen are the original Nightmare on Elm Street and Last House on the left.
Elm Street was quite good for a low-budget slasher flick. Very creative, and some great special effects.
Last House on the Left was trashy, schlocky, sleazy, and skeevy, but also scary in its own way. It’s scary because the sort of gross, degrading things the female victims are put through in that movie is frighteningly close to what real-life serial killers and other sickos do to their victims. Real life is always scarier than bug-eyed monsters.

I saw your home page. Hope you dont mind. Thanks for the dangerous service.
So many military men on this board. I feel like a weasel for not doing my part.
I went to National Guard after 9/11 on Staten Island.
I was 33 and 260. They said no go with the weight. Should have tried harder to lose it.
Were they fairly compensated?
Thank you.
Don’t feel bad because there is no reason to. Your heart was in the right place. Your caliber is needed now and that’s what counts. I’m glad we’re on the same side.
Scream was one of the most original movies ever made. I wouldn’t call it a true horror movie however; it was more like a black comedy. But the killer’s costume was iconic.
Maybe he’ll meet Dante. The Inferno was creepy enough. Seriously I doubt Craven was advocating the behaviors in his movies. He was giving us a portrait of evil.
Good for catching yourself. Being Christian and being a dick is not a good pairing.
I doubt anyone was fairly compensated for Scream 4.
RIP.
I wouldn’t know. That’s why I asked if the home owners were fairly compensated.
I never cared for those horror movies so I don’t know anything about them.
thanks. you got that right.
RIP
Wow. RIP.
I remember watching the first “Nightmare” back in the day: Very unique and very scary.

it had hot chicks with big hair.
I watched about four of the “Elm Street” films and the first two “Scream” films. Craven had quite an imagination.
As I tweeted out this morning, “The horror! The horror!”
Scream 4 didn’t go straight to video. It earned $97 million world wide. While for the series that was pathetic (Scream 1 did better than that domestically and unadjusted), it still managed a profitable theatrical release.
