Good night, Wes.
Where he is now, I think he’s screaming for eternity in a nightmare greater than elm street.
Well, that sucks.
Thanks for the scares, Wes.
A Nightmare succeeded in giving me the creeps, even in my early twenties.
RIP.
Freddy was a great horror villain. And Scream 1 & 2 were wild. But the sequels were not so great.
Him and Wayne Dyer, today.
His best films were “The Last House On The Left” and the original “The Hills Have Eyes”.
My Daughter and Niece are good friends. One time she came to visit and brought two movies for them to watch. I ended up viewing them too.
One was Nightmare and the other was Salem’s Lot, I think that was the title. Both were pretty good and I usually don’t care for those type films.
They were good. One time when my daughter was a teen she had a sleepover and I rented all the “Nightmare on Elm Street” and we stayed up all night to watch.
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.

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.
RIP.
As I tweeted out this morning, “The horror! The horror!”
