That he came from the world of philosophy and literature, a rare voice in Horror. I'm gonna miss Wes, RIP.
I met Wes Craven in 1992 and he was a really nice guy. Friendly dude.
You met him no way
RIP Wes, WE LOVE YOU! Sad to think we will never get to see a new Wes Craven film ever again!
But what he made we can still watch!!!!!!!
If it's any consolation, James Wan is as much of a fan of Wes Craven as we are and The Conjuring and Insidious are his best work.
To be completely honest,
No offense to Wes himself, but his last movie My Soul To Take was a huge embarrassment.
I never understood what he was trying to point out with the condor thing.
That teenage boy in English class dressed up as a condor looked ridiculous.
Once again no offense to Wes himself,
For your loyal fans who know how you passed away into heaven
It's much better if we focus on the movies you made that are true masterpieces that show you are a true genius.💀💀💀☠️☠️☠️👻👻👻🎃🎃🎃🍿🍿🍿🍕🍕🍕🥤🥤🥤
@@jakekaufman8302 I get it.
@@TheZowwee Absolutely Fun Fact: Lin Shaye played the English Teacher in Nightmare On Elm Street
Now she plays the lead heroine Elise in the Insidious series
Case in point
She has Wes Craven's genius and passed it on to James Wan
In other words
James Wan is the new master of horror
Now that Wes Craven is in Heaven 💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
@@jakekaufman8302 actually the last film he directed was scream 4 which was pretty good!
R.I.P. Wes Craven
A Nightmare On Elm St is a masterpiece that had aged terrifically. Hits you in the viscerals, especially the long arms. That was insanely creative.
I met him one time in California after a job interview and the saying is very true. The most talented people you meet in Hollywood are also the nicest people you meet. He was very kind, soft spoken as you'd expect and very honest that he was in a bit of a rush. I merely told him I appreciated his work, said I loved Red Eye (the latest film at the time) he thanked me and then we shook hands and I went on with my day with a giddy/geek just met one of my hero faces...didn't get the job BUT honestly it didn't matter cause that made my day.
Gotta love Mick Garris. He had the foresight to get these great in-depth, high quality interviews with these "Horror Legend's" before they passed. Kinda helps to immortalize them for future generations
Love him and his work. Rest in paradise, Mr. Craven.❤️
I'm gonna miss this dude. Seemed so humble and nice.
Such an interesting guy! I'm on a Wes Craven movie marathon tonight :)
Ella Plitt A worthy endeavor!
+Ella Plitt I'm right there with you M8! as you've heard we lost one of the great masters of HORROR cinema too often written off as schlock or whatever they want to call it !! I've always been intrigued by the dark of the night and things that go lurk therein ; look forward to my projects which I hope will be memorable RIP WES CRAVEN!!!
+pvtrichter88 UltraSaiyan419: I just became a fan of Wes Craven's work and, ironically and sadly, I hear that he died on the same night and I'm like "What!?". Craven will be a master of horror the world will never forget. Wes Craven. August 2, 19-something- August 31, 2015. The creator of Freddy Krueger and his little playground called Elm Street.
Fantastic interview series. Wes lives forever in his films and is forever a legend in the industry.
im so sad to hear the news R.I.P WES CRAVEN he will be missed
He's a great guy, and wonderful interview, and incredibly generous with his talent.
+Mick Garris Interviews Loved this interview you did with Wes. He's probably chatting with Freddy as we speak!
Fantastic interview, thanks for this.
One of my héroes. Like yourself.
I love this man. So smart and wise. Severely underrated director.
His reaction to the question at 10:02. So great. And then leading down the horror rabbit hole. Fantastic interview.
Blessing, Wes Craven - may there be Nightmares No More for you. Rest well and know ...
....you scared the SHIT out of us!
+NorthForkFisherman which reminds us that we're still alive!! what great moments of suspense to entice us to go prowling in the night [I mean in the movie houses and working on film sets in my case you sick people!!]
pvtrichter88 This reminds me of a Jack London quote:
"I would rather be ashes than dust.
I would rather that my spark burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.
I SHALL USE MY TIME!"
Let's use our time.
+NorthForkFisherman ... that quote makes me wanna quit my job :-)
Its hard to believe that less than a year after this was posted he passed away. He looks so well in this interview. Really sad.
"yeah but a lot of great things comes out of the ghetto,jazz comes out of the ghetto" brilliant man and always a great interview :)
All the A Nightmare on Elm Street films that Wes Craven worked on (1, 3, and New Nightmare) are easily the best ones. There's a sense of care, passion, and ingenuity in those films that the others lacked.
And of those three 1 and new nightmare are his exclusively. 3 was not directed by him. you can still find his script for 3 online..its better.
Rest in Peace Master of Horror :(
Hands down one of my all time favorite horror film directors. Such a brilliant, humble man and the original "last house on the left" is my favorite horror movie
rip:( you won't be forgotten
West Craven will live forever through his movies that he was involved in, R.I.P sir.
Thank you for the great films that you directed man! You´ll be always among the best ones, Wes Craven.
I still miss you, Wes
Wes for all the golden content you gave us..thank you. R.i.p.

For all the thrills and scares, I thank you, and enjoyed every one. Your talent will be missed
WE LOVE YOU WES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Legend
Thank you SO MUCH for putting these interviews here. When I was teaching a Modern Horror class at the University of Montana, I used this Wes Craven interview in my Modern Horror class but kept losing track of it because Fearnet was always shifting links around and burying the files. These are all a wonderful gift! :D
master of horror wes craven loved all your masterpieces thanks for giving us a good scare rip legend
rest in peace wes...
Love you sooooo much im sad every year for halloween
Thank you so much Mick! I love these interviews!!
This man was THE HORROR/SUSPENSE MASTER. AND HE ALWAYS WILL BE!! A GENIUS. HORROR LOST IT'S BEST FRIEND WHEN WES DIED. BUT LET'S NOT BE SAD. LET'S EXPERIENCE HIS MOVIES FOREVER. WATCH THEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN. HIS LEGACY WILL NEVER DIE.
Rest is paradise master
He’s the reason why the world knows Johnny Depp! 😍
R.I.P Wes Craven ;(
Sorry this amazing guy had to leave us!
Great interview with one of the best horror directors (R.I.P. Wes)! Thanks for this Mick!
R.I.P. we lost a great man who influenced a genre
R.I.P. Wes the Master of Horror. 😘
RIP WES, thanks for all the nightmares over the last 30 years.
His philosophy/ religion background combined with his dark humor really shows up in work. So many of his films have tremendous depth and humanity.
Yes you can see that many of his films have religious undertones and story points meshed in. Like Elm Street the parents sin of killing Freddy brought unto the children. Or People under the stairs being crazy religious nuts killers and others like the crazy religious cult in Deadly Blessing.
R.I.P. what an absolute legend
And RIP Wes Craven.
He will always be missed.
He is a remarkably intelligent man.
I've enjoyed this interview. I'm a big fan!
r.i.p wes x
😎😎💛💚💙❤️
AMAZING TALENT
R.I.P. WES CRAVEN
THE MASTER OF HORROR
Rip Wes craven I hope I can create movie like you someday
R.I.P Wes Kraven :[ You will be missed ;]
RIP Wes...
The master.
Rest in peace Mr Craven - thanks to you I love horror movies since I was a kid.
Top 5 best horror filmmakers who I hold in high regard
1 Wes Craven
2 George A.Romero
3 John Carpenter
4 Dario Argento
5 Tobe Hooper
I missed Wes Craven.
Mick Garris! I was ten years old when I watched the opening scene to The Stand. Needless to say I was scarred for life...all those people dead underground. Anytime I hear Blue Oyster Cults "Don't fear the reaper" on the radio I get a chill up my spine. LOL.
PeadarBoc the stand was Stephen King. Wes Craven makes films. Stephen King writes books that become films
@@gardetto265 Yes, I am aware of that, as most people are unless they've been sleeping under a rock for the past forty years. My comment was directed at Mick Garris and his direction of the Stephen King adaptation of The Stand, but then you knew that already.
RIP Wes Craven :(
Rest in peace master of horror ❤❤❤ i will always remember your phenomenal work
RIP Wes.Tobe.Romero. Damn they do go in 3s.
Wes craven was my childhood
RIP Craven
Wes and Mick, two of the best in the horror world
Such a good role model
R.I.P
I would marry this man. So gentle speaking, very smart, creative. Uh! Where are the men like this!?
If I was a few years older and if he were into tgirls I would be all over him. I can't help but fall for the men with brains. :)
Watching this interview and thr other ones I feel this deep connection that is hard to describe. He was a Baptist growing up not a Mormon i had a crazy experience with Mormons. They were nice I had no interest to convert to the religion
Great interviews Mr. Harris:) love to see one with Sam Raimi/ Bruce Campbell
🙏🙏🙏 thank you mr. Craven Nightmare on Elm Street and and we going to miss you and God bless you amen and you and mr. Carpenter John Carpenter did a very good job of Nightmare on Elm Street and Halloween and God bless amen
R.I.P Wes Craven!
Brilliant Master of Horror. R.I.P on the otherside.
Such an intelligent fella. Really smart discussion here.
He's getting all the answers now💜
The Bergman remaking, Voodoo investigating, nightmare king, master of horror who parodied himself with a Scream🔪... Check out both parts of this interview and the series... Or before you know it one, two, Freddy will come for you!
Mick -- have you thought about putting these up as Podcasts? Or, better yet, hosting your own podcast version of "Post Mortem" or some sort of spin-off. I can't get enough of these and think many others feel the same way. BTW, I loved the Mormon joke. I was raised in the Mormon church, haha.
Thanks, Michael. For now, this is the best forum, I think. But watch this space. There are conversations being held about a new series of interviews. Cheers!
Mick Garris Interviews How awesome. Best of luck, Mick! :D
The interviewer looks like ken Barlow from Corrie
RIP legend
RIP Mr. Craven
RIP Wes.
Why they changed the title?(((
R.I.P Master of Horror.
MASTER HORROR WES CRAVEN.
I'm a huge HELLRAISER & CANDYMAN fan. \m/
Do you mean, Clive Barker?
Rip
He's still alive right???
RIP! Cancer sucks balls! i'm surprised he didn't pen a movie dedicated to Cancer.
Anyone interested in collaborating on low budget horror films in the vein of Romero, Carpenter, Craven, Hooper, and Cronenberg please private message me. We have the technology! Where are the great modern horror films and filmmakers?! We need a revolution!
Have you made anything since this comment?
respect just gone up for Wes. exited his religious life that his family tried to brainwash him with. I love people who can think for themselves :)
Just because his parents were strictly religious didn't mean he had to abandon the faith altogether.
+Eric West Probably because he was sick with Cancer? You dont exactly feel like writing a whole movie after chemo.
Now that Wes is dead do you now realize why your title for this show is pretty poor and could be considered ultimately insensitive?
