The Directors - The Films of Wes Craven: The work of cult director Wes Craven through interviews with him and his associates, with emphases on the earlier work.
A little over a year before he passed away. I mailed Wes a fan letter along with my novel of “New Nightmare” Asking him to sign it for me. About 2 weeks later I got a package from him. He had signed my book as well as an autographed photo of him. And a stationary note thanking me for my letter. I asked for one autograph. But he gave me 3. I have them framed. Such a wonderful man.
I remember the first time I saw Wes in an interview and was taken aback by how smart, articulate, and mild mannered he was. Indeed, he said on several occasions that people expected him to be like Charles Manson instead of the person that he was.
The Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Serpent and the Rainbow, The People Under the Stairs, New Nightmare, Vampire in Brooklyn, Scream, Red Eye... So many great movies! Rip Wes Craven.
The Hills Have Eyes- One of the most terrifying films I’ve ever seen A Nightmare on Elm Street- One of the most visually creative and pure films I’ve ever seen New Nightmare- Another of the most visually creative. One of the best ‘sequels’. My Soul to Take- One of the most interesting films I’ve ever seen. I love Wes Craven and hope to see the rest of his films soon!
One of the best things about watching Cravens films is, even when the overall quality of the movies themselves may not have been amazing, they were very deep in filmic language and psychological logic. Every beat feels thought out and structured in a really good way
Somebody has to even if it means me maybe somebody already has told it already I don’t know but if I knew more about Wes Craven that I do then I would do it it was a verb and told first
I really think they separated from other horror movies at the time, where it was mostly silent masked killers. Still my favorite horror character of all time!
Neve Campbell: "I don't think there'll be a 4, that's sort of the point"....... Me looking at this documentary after watching scream 4 laughing my ass off "well clearly she was wrong" 😆
I’m only 11 minutes into this and I notice they’re leaving out his TV stuff. He directed some horror movies for TV I believe. After he got a “horror” reputation
@phantom collector he had this great insight into our nightmares🧟♀️ and left us an amazing legacy of films , yes RIP to the maestro of Horror 👉 Enjoy Halloween Cheers!
@@RachaelTownsend74 He definitely was and the films he left us with are an awesome legacy of dark nightmares ,i always believed if you can face your fears you can do anything which may explain why i'm a horror fan , so stay tuned for more posts Halloween's coming soon . Have a great day and be safe .
I saw Swapthing in 82 in Southern Cali. when i was 7 years old and loved it! I was i Awe... Nightmare on Elm street as a young kid was so real to me. Very Unique Director. May Mr. Craven rest in eternal peace.
He also did Music From The Heart, an interesting movie from a master of horror. I believe he always wanted to branch outside horror but always got drawn back in, probably because of money/work, but I also believe he loved his fans and always wanted to do right by them. Rest In Peace!
their will never be another director like wes craven EVER he is truly one of a kind if it wasn't for wes and robert englund their would be no freddy krueger and yes the remake {2010} SUCKED BALLS surprised rob zombie didn't try to do that BUT that is a totally different story in itself anyway thank you mr craven you will be missed, never forgotton
Myeika Royal Stephen King doesn't make horror movies. Infact sometimes he down right despises the adaptations of his books. I get what you're saying, I just had to clarify.

Lucky!!! How did you know where to mail the letter to? I wanna ask John Carpenter
@@danseth5775 I just looked up how to send him a fan letter.
Oh man! What a great memento(s) of Wes Craven - one of the best to have ever done it!
Wes Craven is a Master of Horror that will always be missed.
I remember the first time I saw Wes in an interview and was taken aback by how smart, articulate, and mild mannered he was. Indeed, he said on several occasions that people expected him to be like Charles Manson instead of the person that he was.
Lol
I feel like people felt the same about George Romero, but in all the interviews I've seen, he seemed like such a a kind hearted man... 😊
Wes is my favourite horror director. I could listen to him talk all day, something about him comforts me 💖
The Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Serpent and the Rainbow, The People Under the Stairs, New Nightmare, Vampire in Brooklyn, Scream, Red Eye... So many great movies! Rip Wes Craven.
Don’t forget Deadly Friend, Shocker and Swamp Thing.
And The Phantom Of The Opera
Hills Have Eyes 2
Wes spent his career fighting censorship and had a reputation for being protective of young actresses. #legend
Unfortunately he was working with Harvey Weinstein.
@@pockypurse Doesn't matter, no matter how people feel about Weinstein, there's no deny in the fact that Miramax made quality movies in the 90s.

Wes was such a kind decent person, with a lovely sense of humor and a hypnotic voice. Oh yeah, great director.
We just didn't deserve Wes! A true genius of cinema
He's probably the most intellectual horror filmmaker. John Carpenter too.
Yay algorithm for having this old upload appear in our feeds.
This documentary was made in 2000 he was on the verge of working on Scream 3 this originally aired on Encore movie channel & Starz.
watching this for Halloween. I love how completely of the moment this doc is, Neve campbell looks legit and exclusively Scream three here lol
This was an awesome look at a talented director!!!!👍🍿🎥
Such a legend.
So many memorable movies thanks to Wes
I am actually going to do his life story and his filmography If anyone has any objections speak now or forever hold your peace
Hey mate so did you do it
Somebody has to even if it means me maybe somebody already has told it already I don’t know but if I knew more about Wes Craven that I do then I would do it it was a verb and told first
If you do I will check it out
I really enjoyed nightmare on elm street grew on me got a kick out of movies
I really think they separated from other horror movies at the time, where it was mostly silent masked killers. Still my favorite horror character of all time!
Loool neve Campbell - " I dont think there will be a 4, we don't want them to go on forever" 20 years later we are on scream 7
Neve Campbell: "I don't think there'll be a 4, that's sort of the point".......
Me looking at this documentary after watching scream 4 laughing my ass off "well clearly she was wrong" 😆
I used love Serpent and the rainbow lol such an unique and underrated film
Great upload
46:40 funny after seeing Scream 4-5-6 😄
I’m only 11 minutes into this and I notice they’re leaving out his TV stuff. He directed some horror movies for TV I believe. After he got a “horror” reputation
I always thought Wes was handsome ^^
Do: Master of Cinema - Sydney Pollack (Request) okay
10:50 omg this story! Definitely wouldn’t get away with that today hahaha
New nightmare is one of the best in the franchise i dont care
Do: Master of Cinema: Sidney Lumet (Request) okay
Eddie Murphy actually did a skit where he dressed up as a white man and went around new York lol
Laughing at Never saying she doesn’t think there will be a Scream 4… 😂
This will be the finish
Except, it won't
10:56 Grrrrrr 😤
Mmmm neve Campbell
Krueger vs Disney 😆
46:45 hasn't aged well, has it?
Most of the best movies seem to be connected to Harvey Weinstein in some way.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Neve Campbell ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Leo smashed his hand with glass and kept going, this actress was afraid of a spider. Lol R.I.P. Wes
Just visualizing Wes Craven reading a comic book, is officially the coolest mental image I have ever had.
HUGE LOSS BUT WHAT A LEGACY HE LEFT REST IN PEACE

@@phantomcollector1976 can you please ask me the comment you could stop killing the victims now.
Craven's movie had substance. They never failed to entertain. He had good focus.
Picture this: Wes and Romero, having drinks together, in the afterlife. One helluva conversation they're having I'll bet. Rest well, fellas.
Also Tobe Hooper will join the discussion!
I saw Swapthing in 82 in Southern Cali. when i was 7 years old and loved it! I was i Awe... Nightmare on Elm street as a young kid was so real to me. Very Unique Director. May Mr. Craven rest in eternal peace.
wes craven will be missed.

Jason Huntley
What a kind, thoughtful man he was.
💖Wes Craven💖
He was truly self made man
oh i was expecting Wes to talk about People Under the Stairs...it's my favorite film of him
30:32
Pure Inspiration 🙏🏽
Wes craven will be missed he and Stephen king is my favorite when it comes to making horror movies the rest really don't come close by far
Myeika Royal Stephen King doesn't make horror movies. Infact sometimes he down right despises the adaptations of his books. I get what you're saying, I just had to clarify.
You forgot about John Carpenter....
Where is John Carpenter?
Floyd1504 fax king is a far better writer but carpenters a visionary
46:40 "I don't think there will be a four" Oh Neve. Not only was there a 4 but there was almost a 5 and 6.
5 is on its way :)
Sad he went
Nightmare on elm street 1984 and scream 1996 film by Wes craven 🗡🔪🔫
"Scream" and "Cabin in the Woods" were the two best "meta-horror" movies.
Cabin in woods sucked
