Film director Wes Craven leaves us at 76, a master of terror who brought us among other characters Freddy Krueger.
The director died yesterday, Sunday, August 30, 2015 from a brain tumor which he has not finally been able to defeat.
Wes Craven is one of the masters of the genre, thanks especially to his saga of 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' ('A Nightmare on Elm Street') and create your main character, the famous Freddy Krueger, of which on the other hand he only directed two installments, although the youngest will know him as the creator of another more recent franchise such as 'Scream', of which he did shoot all his deliveries, a total of four.
Other films that the Cleveland, Ohio-born filmmaker was after include 'The last house on the left' ('The Last House on the Left'), his debut film that is considered an essential horror film, the two installments of 'The Hills Have Eyes' ('The Hills Have Eyes'), too classics of the genre or something less famous films like 'The Serpent and the Rainbow' ('The Serpent and the Rainbow') or 'Shocker, 100.000 volts of terror' ('Shocker: No More Mr. Nice Guy'), and even made an attempt to move to comedy, horror comedy yes, with 'A loose vampire in Brooklyn' ('Vampire in Brooklyn').
