If anyone is interested, I have reworked Cult Labs Radio and added many more tracks from Wes Craven films, so that it plays a Craven track every 30 mins or so.

A little tribute to the great master of Horror.

I was surprised as well – it shows how young he was when he started making movies.

Similarly, it was William Friedkin's birthday on Saturday and I was astonished when I discovered it was his 80th; like Wes Craven, I thought he was about a decade younger.

The first Wes Craven film I ever saw was the original Nightmare on Elm Street which on first viewing was unbeliveably creepy especially as I was about 10 years old at the time. I remember a few of the other kids in school had seen it and it was considered the must see horror film of the time by most of them so came highly recommended.. Having seen it, the film then remained a favourite of mine for many years and with all of the sequels that made a bit of a joke out of Freddy, it's easy to forget just how great a horror villan he was in the first film.

About a year after seeing Elm Street I then tracked down The Hills Have Eyes which is one of the very few horror films that genuinely frightened me.

To this day I can't really pick a favouite out of the 2 (well maybe by a cats wisker The Hills Have Eyes) but I can clearly remember where and when I was the first time I watched both of them so they must have made a huge impression at the time.

RIP Wes.
I'll always thank you for traumatising me with THE HILLS HAVE EYES,one of our first ever video rentals.
During the eighties,you gave us school dodgers something to watchand talk about with Freddy in A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET,and once again after YEARS of low budget and straight to video gash,you gave us a much needed horror injection with the brilliant SCREAM.

RIP Mr Craven,horror has lost one of it's TRUE masters.

Freddy was the first of the big monsters to invade my dreams and make me pay attention to a genre of film that i grew to adore. I also thought and still do think that Scream was a breath of fresh air for horror at the time of it's release.

My old man once said to me, you know you're getting old son, when the people you grew up watching on the TV are all dead and you prefer to watch the videos in the cupboard over the ones at the cinema. He was spot on.

At least we still have a few good one's with us, Jackson, Romero, Hitchcock ect ect.

RIP wes
