Sad news sooner or later where not going to have many real horor film directors.
Eg Hitchcok, Argento, Romero, we just going to have directors who are more interested in gore and controversy, hence why people are already complaining about state of the horror genre, and saying the old films are best

Im aware of that was trying to point out horror directors from the past, as well as ones that are still living

And, with all due respect, Mr. Hitchcock was not really a horror director. He was a suspense and thriller director

I'm sure I'm not the only one who was drawn to horror because of the films Wes Craven made, whether it was in the 1970s, '80s or even '90s, from The Last House on the Left to The Hills Have Eyes, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The People under the Stairs and post-modern takes on the genre such as New Nightmare or Scream.

His legacy was secured years ago and the world is a poorer place without him.

RIP Wes Craven.

This is such sad news - he's one of those people that you never imagine not being around anymore.

My love for horror started with Craven's films. I remember when I was just a kid, I would always pester my Mum to tell me everything she knew about Freddy Krueger - way before I had ever seen a horror film, let along a Nightmare On Elm Street. I would talk on and on about him - I was obsessed with the whole story of Freddy.

A true legend of horror cinema. He'll always be remembered.

RIP Wes. A sad loss. So many people I know got into horror because of his films, which themselves changed the genre.
